NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET, 
Wednesday March 7, 1855. 
The supply of cattle in the Yards to-day is much larger 
than last week, which doubtless is one cause of the dull¬ 
ness of the market. The brokers find it difficult to dis¬ 
pose of their stock readily while the butchers have a 
greater range of choice. By this we mean, however, 
choice in numbers, for a more miserable collection of 
creatures we have never seen in Washington Market. 
Usually there is some good animals to atone for the rest, 
but to-day we scarcely saw a drove rising above medioc 
rity. We doubt whether half the cattle have ever been 
fed for the market at all, or whether they have even had 
enough to satisfy hunger. 
Many of the cattle were young, but looking as if they 
hadjust undergone the ravages of a famine. It seems a 
pity that creatures which have so short a time to live^ 
might not have enough to enjoy life. We sincerely hope 
they will not add to the enjoyment of their owners. 
Some of the best cattle sold as high as 11c. A few 
choice animals went higher ; the average, however, was 
not above 10c. 
Mr. Samuel McGraw at Browning's reports sales of 80 
beaves, ranging from 81®llc. per lb. One pair sold as 
high as 121c.

OARMERS AND GARDENERS WHO 
JL can not get manure enough, will find a cheap and poweiful 
substitute in the IMPROVED POUDRETTE madefy the sub¬ 
scribers. The small quantity used, the ease with -which it is 
applied, and the powerful stimulus it gives to vegetation, ren¬ 
ders it the cheapest and best manure in the world. It causes 
plants to come up quicker, to grow faster, to yield “heavier and 
ripen earlier than any other manure in the world, and unlike 
otner fertilizers, it can be brought in direct contact with the 
plant. Three dollars’ worth is sufficient to manure an acre of 
com. Price, delivered free of cartage or Ipackage on board of 
vessel or railroad in New-York city, $1 50 per barrel, for any 
quantity over six ban-els. 1 barrel, $2; 2barrels, $3 50; 3 bar¬ 
rels, $5 00; 5 barrels, $8 00. A pamphlet with information and 
directions will be sent gratis and post-paid, to any one applying 
for the same.

Lodi Manufacturing Company : 
Gentlemen—At the request of John P. Cushing, Esq., of this 
place, I have, for the last five years, purchased from you 200 
barrels of Poudrette per annum, which he has used upon his 
extensive and celebrated garden in this town. He gives it al¬ 
together the preference over every artificial manure. (Guano 
not excepted), speaks of it in the highest terms as a manure for 
the kitchen garden, especially for potatoes. 
I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, 
Your obedient, servant.
