at which produce is sold from the market. The variations in 
prices refer chiefly to the quality of the articles. 
The market has been fair since last week, 
with but little change in the more substantial kinds of 
produce. Charleston new potatoes are a little lower; 
others remain about the same. Green produoe goes off 
rather better. Strawberries and cherries are very plenti¬ 
ful, though the latter are done in south Jersey, and will 
begin to fall off soon. The other changes are slight.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Wednesday June 20, 1855. 
There is something over 2,000 cattle in 
market, which is about 200 less than last week. Both 
butchers and brokers hung for their own prices this morn¬ 
ing, and consequently the sales were exceedingly slow. 
Scarcely any sales were effected before 10 o’clock. There 
is a falling off in prices of about }c. $>■ lb—good beef sell¬ 
ing for 10}c., though a few very extra cattle reached 11c. 
The average price is not far from 10c. 
At these prices the losses fall very heavily on owners, 
being in many cases from $10 to $20 a head, or from $500 
to $2,000 a drove. There are some cattle remaining in 
the country, but less than last week. 
Some of the cattle to-day are very flabby, and generally 
not as good as last week. The market will probably wind 
up slow and dull. 
Notice is given that, as Market-Day falls on the 4th of 
July, it will take place on Tuesday, the day preceding. 
The following are some of the lots offered: 
White & Ulery had 136 fair Illinois cattle, which were 
bringing an average of nearly 10c. They were estimated 
to weigh 750 lbs. 
Mr. Belden was selling 105 good Durham grades from 
Kentucky. Some of these were fine beeves, and brought 
11c. They ran through from 9 to 11c. 
John Merritt was selling 105 rather light Ohio cattle, 
owned by S. M. Baker & Co. He wholesaled 74 for $60 
per head, which was estimated at 9c. qp lb. They would 
average about 650 lbs. in weight. 
Beach & Smith were selling a fair lot of Ohio cattle, 
owned by M. A. Melvin. 20 sold for $80 p head, for ship 
ping to Bermuda, which was estimated at 10}c. They 
would doubtiess wind up at 9c. 
Wm. Gurney was selling 102 nice young Indiana cattle 
belonging to Callem & Caldwell. These would average 
about $72 per head, or 101c. They cost $11 a head for 
passage. Estimated to weigh 675 lbs. 
Joseph Williams was selling 75 fair Ohio cattle, owned 
by Ed. Williams, and at an average of 10c. They would 
weigh 750 lbs., and ranged from 9 to 11c. 
H. W. Alvordhad 26 large, fat, still-fed cattle from Sy¬ 
racuse, N. Y., estimated to weigh 1,000 a head. They 
sold from 9 to 11c.
