numerous that had taken place during the year. 
Flour was also in good request, and with an ar¬ 
rival of 74,000 bbls. from America, the fall in 
prices was only Is. to Is. 6 d. per bbl. 
artels* 
Remarks.— Flour has advanced since our last 
from 25 to 37£ cents per bbl. Corn 3 to 4 cts. 
per bushel. Pork a little lower. Beef higher. 
Wool continues very dull. 
Cotton an advance of £ ct. per lb. Rice and 
Sugar more active. Tobacco no change. 
Money market, nothing new. 
The Weather continues rather wet, and much 
Corn, Potatoes, and other roots still to plant; 
and Barley and Oats to be sown. Wheat and 
Rye.look well; Grass is extremely thick set, and 
a good crop of Hay is almost certain. Fruit 
promises fairly. We hope an unusual quantity 
of Corn and Potatoes will be planted this year. 
They are certain to pay well. 
PRODUCE MARKET. 
Saturday, May 27, 1854. 
Potatoes are still plenty, and prices about the same as 
last quoted. New ones are now in the market in large 
quantities from Bermuda We must wait for another crop, 
before any thing more is said about apples. There are only 
a few dozen barrels to be seen in the whole market. Car¬ 
rots, Parsnips, Turnips, and Onions are nearly gone. The 
few left are consequently high in price, though poor in qual¬ 
ity. The stands dealing in the products now so scarce, look 
desolate enough. 
Carter and Mercer Potatoes are worth $4 $ bbl. ; West¬ 
ern Reds, $2 75; Junes, S2 75; Common, $2 50; Russet 
Apples, $5: Ouious, $3 50; Carrots, Parsneps, and Tur¬

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Monday, May 29, 1854. 
There is about the average number of caitle in market 
to-day. Still, prices are high, too high. The weather was 
no draw-back, and yet sales were slow. Butchers offered 
12% cents per pound openly, which was refused. At these 
times of high prices, there is much stickling between buyers 
and sellers in regard to the true weight of cattle which is 
obtained by estimate. The quality was not quite so good 
as last week. We noticed no extras, and saw quite a num¬ 
ber of inferior cattle. 
Swine are somewhat higher, and not so many in market. 
Sheep and Lambs are plenty, but bring good prices. 
Becve3 sell from 10@13 cts. per pound. 
Cows “ $20@$35 
Cows & calves $30@$70 
Swine sell from 4@5 cts. per pound. 
Calves “ $4@$G 50 
Sheep “ $2 50@$ 10, according to quality 
and whether wooled or sheered.

SECOND GREAT ANNUAL SALE OF DURHAM AND 
55 Dairy Stock, in Westchester County, N.Y., by JAMES M. 
MILLER, on the farm of James Bathgate, Esq., one mile from 
Fordham, and 14 miles from the City Hall, New-York City, by 
the Harlem Railroad, cars running hourly, will take place on 
Thursday, June 22d. 1854, at 12 o’clock M. 
Having been solicited by numerous Cattle-breeders, as be¬ 
fore, in my native County of Westchester, to get up a sale in 
which all may participate to any desired extent, whether wish¬ 
ing to sell one or more animals, and my old friend James 
Bathgate, having again kindly consented to give the use of 
his capacious premises upon which to make the sale, I have 
made the above announcement, and now invite all persons 
having high-bred and grade Cattle for sale, either in this or 
adjoining States, to participate in the advantages offered. 
The name and full description of Animals intended for sale, 
with the owner’s name and residence, must be sent to my 
Office, No. 81 Maiden Lane, New-York, on or before the 1st 
day of June next, to be inserted in the Catalogue, which will 
be ready for delivery on the 6th June; and the Cattle must be 
on the ground before 10 o’clock on the day of sale, or earlier, 
if possible, which will commence preisely at 12 o’clock, rain 
or shine. 
The charge for selling, including all charge for Advertising, 
Catalogue, Commission, Ac., will be Five. Dollars per head, 
except when special bargains are made for calves or low- 
priced animals. 
None but cattle of well-known breeds, of established char¬ 
acter, will be received, and every animal offered must be sold 
without reserve. JAMES M. MILLER, 
37-40. No. 81 Maiden Lane.
