New York Cattle Market—Oct. 21. 
At market, 1350 Beef Cattle (200 from the south), 40 Cows and 
Calves, and 2500 Sheep and Lambs. 
Prices. — Beef Cattle —In brisk demand at $4.25 a 4.75, to $5.25 
a 5.50 for retailing qualities—unsold 200. 
Cows —The same as last week, $15 a 25—all sold. 
Sheep and Lambs.—We quote the former $1.12 a 4.00, as m 
quality, and the latter 87£ a $2.50>—left ever 250. 
Remarks. — Ashes remain unchanged by the late news. Cotton 
the same. Export from the United States since 1st September last, 
93,728 bales ; same time last year, 11,320 ; same time year before, 
37,593. Flour —The great quantity afloat has had a tendency to 
depress the market. Grain —Wheat, Rye, and Corn, steady ; Bar¬ 
ley quite scarce ; Oats plenty and dull. Hay in good demand for 
shipping. Hemp little inquiry. Molasses very firm. Naval Stores 
rather heavy. Provisions of all kinds, with the exception of Beef, 
quite brisk. Sugar in fair demand. Tobacco quiet. Wool the 
same. By reference to the Price Current of November last, it will 
be seen that agricultural products on the average are quite as high 
now, if not higher, than at that period, so that all croakers about 
falling prices are completely at fault. 
Money without change—plenty in the city at 4 to 6 per cent., in 
the country hard to be got. 
Stocks have fluctuated somewhat the past month, having been 
influenced by the alternate hopes and fears of each political party 
in the coming Presidential election. 
Business generally pretty good, though not equal to that of last 
year at this time. ^ 
The Weather. During September there were the greatest ex¬ 
tremes we ever experienced, it being excessively hot for the first 
23 days, and then snow falling on£he mountains at the north 9 
inches deep. October has been rather a wet month, with disas¬ 
trous storms, especially at the west. On the lakes we have ac¬ 
counts of the most fearful gale within the memory of man, and 
very destructive of life and property. The latter part of the month 
has been sunny and warm. The crops are now all pretty well 
secured, and much more than an average, take them all in all, for 
which we ought to be grateful to a kind and superintending Prov¬ 
idence.
