New York Cattle Market—Nov. 25, 
At market, 1300 Beef Cattle (100 from the south), 50 Cows and 
Calves, and 3000 Sheep and Lambs. 
Prices. — Beef Cattle are well sustained, and we quote firm at 
$4 25 a 4 75 to $5 25 a 5 75, and $6 for very choice. 
Cows and Calves—Sales at $18 a $30. 
Sheep and Lambs are a little cheaper. We quote sheep at 
$1 25 a $3 50 and Lambs 87 cents a $1 50. 
Hay —50 a 67^ for best quality of loose. 
Remarks. — Ashes in fair demand Cotton is steady, and the 
daily transactions of considerable extent. Export from the United 
States since 1st September last, 203,485 bales ; same time last 
year, 89.425 ; same time year before, 158, 869. Flour is firm, and 
large exports from this city—15,084 barrels from 1st to 26th inst. 
The exports from Canada, principally to Great Britain, a considera¬ 
ble portion the produce of the western states show that from the 
1st of January up to the 1st of August, this season, they 
amounted to 307,000 barrels flour, and 237,000 bushels wheat— 
exports the same period last season were only 50,000 barrels 
flour and 15,000 bushels wheat! We think it a misfortune 
to both countries that the trade can not be direct. Hogs. The 
opening price this year at Cincinnati—the great pork mart— 
ranges from $2 50 to $3 00 for small choice lots. Buyers are oper¬ 
ating very moderately at these rates, thinking them too high. The 
farmers on the other hand contend that hogs are not as abundant 
this year as common, and corn is unusually high and scarce, owing 
to the great floods of the past season. Sugar is heavy, with a 
downward tendency. The crop in Louisiana was never anything 
like so large. It is supposed that it will reach from 180,000 to 
200,000 hogsheads. The cane is well ripened, and the weather 
favorable for cutting and grinding. Tobacco is in fair request. 
Wool somewhat depressed. We think, however, it will soon 
recover last September prices. 
Money- —A little flurry has taken place this month in the money 
market, owing to some specie going abroad, and a greater call for 
discounts. The banks immediately took advantage of these things, 
and put up the interest to 6 and 7 per cent. As there are plenty 
of bills now otfering to be drawn against cotton and other produce 
going forward, we are of the opinion that the exportation of specie 
must stop. But whether it does or not, having imported $23,000,- 
000 last year, the country has plenty to spare. In consequence of 
the uncertainty of the present tariff being sustained by the domi¬ 
nant political party just coming into power, many orders have 
been countermanded, buildings in contemplation stopped, and a 
slight check given to business in general. This, we think, can 
not last long, and we doubt whether there will be any material 
change In the policy of the country. The effect of this check, 
however, will probably make moneyless in demand for the coming 
six months, and bring it down again soon to 4^ and 5 per cent, in 
the cities—in the country it will doubtless continue to rule at legal 
rates. 
Stocks. These have undergone a slight depression, but are grad¬ 
ually returning again to old prices. There was no good reason 
why they should retrograde. 
The Weather up to November 24th was mild with consider¬ 
able rain. It then set in sufficiently cold for three days to freeze 
the ground slightly, but is now mild again with a southwest wind. 
To Correspondents. —On account of the long index to be 
made out this month for the whole volume, we were obliged to set 
up matter for the present No. unusually early ; this has left out 
several interesting communications, which otherwise would have 
appeared herein. We have no farther room for acknowledgments, 
and bring our remarks to a close, by assuring our readers that they 
may expect a rich No. for January, and that this periodical 
throughout the coming year will be better sustained than ever, 
and give a greater variety of interesting and instructive matter.
