NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Monday, April 24, 1854. 
The number of cattle in market to-day is a little less than 
last week, though the weather is very fine. Prices are rul¬ 
ing somewhat higher, and sales are not so brisk, as both 
holders and buyers are firm. There are some fine cattle, 
though most of them are worth more now for the stall than 
the shambles. Those showing the most care in feeding, 
were from Lancaster Co , Pa. There were two yoke of 
oxen from the Western Reserve, Ohio, for which about $350 
were asked per pair, but we did not see them sold. They 
belonged to J. Ernst and II. II. Coe, and were said to 
weigh on leaving home, the one 5100, the other 4900. 
Prices range from 9@llc. per pound.

SJEACOR MAMMOTH BLACKBERRY. (BY SOME CALLED 
THE LAWTON BLACK1JERRY.)-Lf.wi3 A. Seacor, the 
first discoverer and propagator of this rare and valuable 
fruit, respectfully informs the public, that although having 
thus far lost the honor of giving name to his fruit, yet lie has 
on hand about one hundred fine plants of the original stock, 
from which others have chiefly been derived. These plants lie 
will warrant of superior quality, and will sell them at $5 per 
dozen, (which is half the price asked by those who procured 
their original plants of him at a low price.)
