N. Y. Live Stock Markets.— The Cattle 
Markets have exhibited an apparent scanty supply of 
beeves for the past month, but the greatly diminished de¬ 
mand during Lent has made the 13,855 head or 3,464 per 
week,nearly sufficient for all wants. Prices have advanced, 
however, during the past three weeks, fully 1 c. per lb. ; 
At the last general market, March 13lh, trade was quite 
lively, with only 3,204 bullocks on sale for the week. 
Prices ranged from 9 J 4 c. to 10c. for prime bullocks; 8X to 
9% c. for medium to good, 7^ to 8c. for poor, with a gene¬ 
ral average of 8X c. for all sold. 
Veal Calves.— Receipts are increasing as usual at 
this season. For the past month they number 1,636 or 
409 per week. Prices remain unchanged, viz. 7 c. per 
lb. live weight for a very few of the best :6c.® 6% c. 
for good ; and 5 c. fit) 5% c. for poor. 
Sheep.— Receipts are falling off, and willdoubtless con¬ 
tinue to do so until after the lambing and shearing season 
Is past. For the four weeks ending March 13th 26,045 
sheep or 6,511 per week were received, and sold at im¬ 
proving rates. They are now fully 1 c. per lb. liighei 
than a month ago and sell at prices equivalent to 5X c.<© 
6 c. per lb. live weight for good to prime sheep; and 5 c. 
for poor stock. A few lots of extra large fat sheep brought 
6% c. Trade is quite brisk. 
Live Hogs. —Receipts continue to decline as warm 
weather approaches. Arrivals for the past month were 
27,656 or 6,914 per week—quite as many as the demand 
warrants. Prices are X c. per lb. lower than one month 
ago, or5X c. ' a ■ 5% c. for corn fed hogs ; and 4c. (a) 
4% c. for still fed hogs. Market slow. 
The Weather has been retrogading for a fortnight 
past into Winter again, with snows sufficient to block 
roads and obstruct travel. The cold has also been severe, 
and it is feared that swollen buds are injured, and that 
peas and potatoes which were planted two weeks ago 
when the weather was warm, are frozen. - Our Daily 
Weather Notes, condensed, read thus : February 20, 
light rain A.M., clear P.M. — 21,22, clear, cool—23, cloudy, 
rain at night—24, clear and line—25, cloudy — 26, 27, 28,

Appeal for the Children’s Aid Society. 
This Society, which we think is accomplishing much 
good, is dependent mostly upon unsolicited contributions 
from all parts of the country. In consequence of the 
business depression, they fear that some of their charities 
must be given up, unless more liberally aided. They are 
engaged in founding Industrial Schools, in supporting the 
News Boys' Lodging House, and in finding good homes in 
the rural districts for nearly 800 children each year. We 
hope that this Society’s appeal will be liberally responded 
to. Those disposed to aid, may send their donations to 
the office of the Society, No. 11 Clinton Hall, Astor-place, 
or to J. E. Williams, Treasurer, Metropolitan Bank, N.Y.

The Hew Enterprise—Buying Implements, 
Plants, Seeds etc. 
We take pleasure in commending to our readers the 
New Enterprise advertised in another column. We have 
occasionally attended to such matters, to accommodate 
subscribers whose continued requests would admit no de¬ 
nial without our appearing to be absolutely disobliging, 
and because we knew of no reliable establishment to 
which such miscellaneous commissions, small as well as 
large, could be referred. We prefer to devote our whole 
attention to the Editorial and Publishing Interests of the 
Agriculturist, and are glad that our readers will now 
have the Agency of Mr. Lane to which they can apply 
with more freedom, and with entire confidence that any 
business entrusted to him will be attended to promptly, 
and with a due regard to their interests,. 
This Agency will be of especial value to all who wish 
to obtain reliable Trees, Plants, Seeds, Guano, etc., and 
other articles which from their nature are peculiarly sub¬ 
ject to deception.— Ed.
