NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Reported Expressly for the American Agriculturist. 
Wednesday August 22, 1855. 
N. B. — The rates inthese reports refer to the esthna ed 
weight of the beef in the quarters. 
Prices still contiue nominally the same. 
Sales are dull—though the average quality of cattle is a 
shade better. Fewer sold to-day for He. than last week, 
though a few Durham grades sold by Hurd, Culver & Co.» 
did we believe reach that figure. The prevailing rate for 
good beeves is 10c. There is a very evident increase in 
numbers this week, and av erage rates are a little lower 
than our last quotations. A number of droves went 
back into the country from Browning’s for want of room. 
The total supply for the city during the week is 4,246, 
besides 400 sold at Bergen. 
At AUerton’s there has been during the week.2,466 
There is to-day.2,446

Smith & Fenwick’s Machine for Paring, 
Coring and Quartering 
APPLES AMU ©TS1ESS FRUIT. 
T his very ingenious and use¬ 
ful MACHINE is now ready for sale, and will be on 
exhibition at the next FAIR of the American Institute, at 
the Crystal Palace. It received a SILVER MEDAL at the 
New-York State Fair, and is considered by every one who has 
seen it in operation as “ THE MACHINE.” It works on the 
right principle, and performs with astonishing precision. The 
paring taken off is very thin, the core removed nicely, and the 
apple quartered, or divided into smaller pieces if desired, and 
all so quickly that a girl of a dozen years can complete from 
SIX to EIGHT in ONE MINUTE. 
The machine being made of iron, and very simple, is not in 
anyway liable to get out of order. 
The Scientific American says—‘‘This machine presents mani¬ 
fold advantages over anything of a similar nature, it being capa¬ 
ble of performing almost double the amount of work in a given 
time that can be done by any other.” 
A sample MACHINE will be sent to order for FOUR DOL¬ 
LARS (which includes cost of packing), and Rights for States 
or Counties will be sold on liberal terms, and machines fur¬ 
nished, when desired, to purchasers of said Rights, at low rates.
