uary. The thermometer ranging at noon 
from 48° to 56°. No frost in the ground, and 
the rivers in this neighborhood clear of ice. 
An excellent time for plowing dry lands, 
and ditching the wet, digging muck, mend¬ 
ing fences, &c. 
Remaks.— Flour is about 25 cents less per 
barrel with the lower grades. Corn, an ad¬ 
vance of 2 to 3 cents per bushel. In other 
things no changes worthy of note. 
The weather has been very mild for Jan¬ 
PRODUCE MARKET. 
Tueday, January 9, 1855. 
The prices given in our reports from week to week, are the 
average wholesale prices obtained by producers, andnot those 
at winch produce is sold from the market. The variations in 
prices refer chiefly to the quality of the articles. 
A general dullness pervades the market in these days, 
owing partially to pecuniary causes, and partially to the 
state of the weather. Purchasers, mostly, are waiting for 
a change which, it would seem, can hardly be otherwise 
than favorable. 
The potato market is unusually dull to-day, though there 
is no material change in either supply or prices. Virginia 
sweet are scarce and nearly out of season. It will be seen 
that both kinds are higher. There is a large supply of 
turnips on hand, especially Ruta bagas. Cabbages are up 
again and few in market. 
Apples are not very plentiful and are somewhat higher. 
They will doubtless be abundant as soon as the River 
opens; but now the freight is high, and there is danger of 
their being frozen. 
In the butter and cheese market there is no change, and 
indeed has been none for six weeks past. The supply is 
good. Eggs are scarce and well up.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Wednesday January 10, 1855. 
There is no material change in the market to-day, ex¬ 
cept a larger number of animals of inferior quality. The 
general appearance of the cattle lately, makes it more 
and more evident that good beeves throughout the coun¬ 
try are a scarce article. To-day they are quite rare in the 
Washington Yards, and the difficulty of disposing of good 
stock is much less than the previous week. 
The butchers this morning were a little disposed to hang 
off, but the prices are steady and well sustained. The 
market is not over animate, but, doubtless, most of the 
stock will be disposed of before night; if not, the residue 
can be taken into the country and fed awhile, which will 
not be likely to do them any material injury. 
The following are about the highest and lowest prices:

WORKS TURNED TO GOOD ACCOUNT. 
C. B. DqBURG has the pleasured announcing to his former 
patrons, and to other farmers who may wish to improve their 
lands, that he has, during the past year, succeeded in manufac¬ 
turing; from the gas works, in and around New-York City, a 
superior quality of Sulphate of Ammonia, in large quantities, 
and he is now prepared to furnish 
C. B. BeBURG’S SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME, 
Highly charged with AMMONIA, which is now acknowledged 
to be the most valuable ingredient in Peruvian Guano and other 
concentrated fertilizers. Price $45 per ton. DeBURG’S Su¬ 
perphosphate is warranted to contain 
SEVENTEEN PER CENT OF AMMONIA. 
Agricultural Societies and distinguished farmers tried many 
experiments during the last season, and with almost universal 
success. Detailed accounts of several 01 these will shortly be 
placed before the public for examination. 
The Proprietor is working for a future and lasting reputation, 
and will spare no effort to make every bag of Superphosphate 
bearing his name just what it purports to be. To avoid imposi¬ 
tion or deception, every bag will henceforth be distinctly marked 
C. B. DeBURG, No. 1 SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME. 
Pamphlets with instructions for its use, &c., will be sent 
on application. C. B. DeBURG, Williamsburg, N. Y., 
70—82nll51 Sole Proprietor and Manufacturer.
