Apples are in good demand at slightly increased rates. 
Melons from New-Jersey have begun to come in during 
the past week, and bring, as all early produce does, very 
remunerative prices—$20 to $30 ^ 100. Muskmelons are 
here, too, for the first, bringing from $2 50 to $3 50 per 
barrel. 
Butter is quoted at the same price. Cheese has declined 
a cent or two ft ft.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Reported Expressly for the American Agriculturist. 
Wednesday August 15, 1855. 
Prices are nominally the same to-day, 
though the sales are somewhat brisker. The market is 
abundantly supplied with poor stock, though good cattle 
are not quite so plenty as last week ; so that the range of 
prices to-day is wider than last quotations. The weather 
is fine, and the yards are more than commonly empty at 
12 M. The total supply is a little greater than last 
week. 
The following are about the highest and lowest prices:
