New York Cattle Market—-Sept. 23. 
At market, 1500 Beef Cattle (300 from the south), 30 Cows and 
Calves, and 3500 Sheep and Lambs. 
Prices. — Beef Cattle —Owing to the increased supplies, are a 
little cheaper, and we alter our quotations to $4 a 4.25 for ordi¬ 
nary, aud $4.75 a 5.50 for prime and extra—left over 150 head. 
Cows and Calves. —All sold at $14 a 24. 
Sheep and Lambs.— The market was cleared at $1.25 a 4.50 for 
Sheep, and 87^ a 2.75 for Lambs. 
Hay. —A good supply at 50 a 62 cents per cwt. for loose by the 
load. 
Remarks. — Ashes are steady with an increased demand. Cot¬ 
ton, since the arrival of the Britannia, has declined | of a cent, per 
lb. and an ordinary business is now doing in it. Export from the 
United States since 1st September, 18,924 bales; same time last 
year, 2,888 ; same time year before, 5,065. Flour brisk and prices 
well sustained. Rye Flour is scarce. Wheat quite in demand and 
very little in market. Other kinds of grain in fair request and 
supply. Hay dull. Hemp, there is an increased inquiry. Molas¬ 
ses dull. Naval Stores plenty. Provisions —Pork is more sought 
after—Beef excessively dull—Lard brisk with an upward ten¬ 
dency. Rice flat. Seeds little in request. Sugar firmer. Tallow , 
transactions brisk. Tobacco the same. Wool has slightly fallen 
and not so much inquiry. 
Money is from 4 to 6 per cent, according to the paper offered— 
the banks generally discount at 5 to 6. About $2,000,000 of specie 
were exported during August and September. 
Stocks —Nothing particularly worthy of remark. 
Business generally continues good. 
The Weather was excessively hot and dry the past month up to 
the 24th, when a pouring rain set in, and we shall now probably 
have an excess of wet. Many things have suffered from the 
severe drought. The grass on the lighter soils has been parched 
up ; the later varieties of corn have not filled quite as well as an¬ 
ticipated : and the cotton has opened too fast, and in many in¬ 
stances stopped growing or shed its bolls—the worm also has made 
some havoc, so that many a promising field of August will not 
yield over two thirds of a crop. The picking commenced unusu¬ 
ally early. The sugar crop is very fine, and it is anticipated that 
it will turn out 40,000 hogsheads more than has ever been made in 
the southern States. Complaint is made of tobacco being a little 
short in some sections, but all agree that the quality is very supe¬ 
rior. Everything has ripened much sooner than is common. 
Fruit is extremely abundant. Upon the whole, the crops are 
large, have been well got in, and we know of no material failure, 
except the rot in potatoes, which is again proving very disastrous. 
As yet we have not had the slightest appearance of frost. 
ICHABOE GITANGh 
The subscribers have received by a late arrival from Liverpool, 
a few hundred weight of this superior guano, pure as imported from 
Africa, being taken direct out of the ship Clydesdale, arrived at Liv¬ 
erpool docks. A writer in the London Gardener’s Gazette, June 8, 
1844, remarks : “ The competition for this guano in the colonial 
market was so great, that two cargoes were sold in about twenty 
minutes. The desire for Ichaboe guano has arisen from the fact 
that all the eminent chemists who have analyzed it, found it to pos¬ 
sess the fertilizing properties in the highest degree : and the result 
of its application by practical agriculturists has proved the cor¬ 
rectness of their analysis. This island (Ichaboe) on the western 
coast of Africa, which three years since was unknown, is about a 
mile and a half in circumference, and is deeply covered with guano, 
the deposite of sea-birds that have for ages remained undisturbed 
in their possession.” 
Price $6 per hundred pounds, or $1 for 16 pounds, (which is suf 
ficient for 40 gallons of water,) put up in neat boxes; also 7 lb. 
boxes for 50 cents. It should be applied in a liquid state, and im¬ 
mediately after a rain. A liberal watering with this liquid once a 
fortnight is sufficient for vegetables, Indian corn, potatoes and tur- 
neps, and once a week for flowers in pots, and dahlias, tuberoses, 
and chrysanthemums. 
Also, the best of Artificial Guano, made from an exact analysis 
of the real, in boxes of 20 lbs., at $1 per box, or 10 lbs. for 50 cts.
