Potatoes have advanced considerably in price since our 
last report, at least one shilling per barrel on the various 
kinds in market. The North river steamboats bring down 
large quantities consigned to dealers, who dispose of them 
at once to the city grocers and others. They calculate to 
make about two shillings per barrel profit, when the market 
is good ; they are at times satisfied with less. 
The market is well supplied with Apples oxcept Newtown 
Pippins, and the best quality of Greenings, which are scarce, 
owing to the demand for shipping purposes. Fall Pippins 
are also limited in supply, but of the other varieties, and 
particularly lots of inferior quality, there is no scarcity, and 
the price of such is moderate. A barrel of very good fruit 
may be purchased for two and a half or three dollars, though 
Newtown Pippins would be worth four at least. 
There are very few baskets of Tomatoes exposed in mar¬ 
ket, and other tender Vegetables are out of season.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Monday , JVou. 14, 1853. 
No improvement has taken place in the price of cattle 
since our last report ; the sales to day were dull, though 
the number in market was much smaller than on last Mon¬ 
day. The majority of those offered to-day were below the 
average quality. Several lots of superior cattle which were 
expected have been detained, owing to the storm of last 
evening. 
The following are the numbers reported at the various 
market places for the week ending Nev. 14th. 
Washington Yards, Forty-fourth street.

The cattle at the Washington Yards were forwarded as 
fbllows : 
By the Harlem Railroad, Beeves, 123 ; Cows, 12 ; Sheep 
and Lambs, 768 ; Veals, 192. 
By]the Hudson River Railroad: Beeves, 700; Sheep, 
461. 
By the Erie Railrttad : Beeves, 600. 
By the Hudson River boats, 100 Beeves. 
Of these 681 were N. Y. State cattle ; 205 came on foot, 
and 100 by the boats. 
From Pennsylvania, on fool, 255. 
Ohio, on cars, 301. 
Virginia, on foot, 292. 
Connecticut, on foot, 40. 
On comparing the number of cattle in market to day at 
the Washington Yards, witli the number on the previous 
Monday, it will be seen that there was a difference of almost 
1000, the prices however did not vary from those quoted 
at that date, nor has the demand been more brisk. The pre¬ 
vailing prices to day are as 'follows: 
Inferior, 7c. 
Good, 7%@8c. 
Superior, 8%@9c. 
We heard of none being sold at 9%, though beef of extra 
quality might have commanded that price, ttie best in market 
did not bring over 9c ; the best, however, was nothing extra. 
Some of the brokers were almost ashamed to offer the lots 
they had on hand to their good customers. 
Sheep.—A t Chamberlain’s there is still a large supply and 
the market continues dull. 
John Mortimore, sheep broker, furnishes the following 
from his sales book: 
325 Sheep®. $3 92 ; 120 do ® $4 25 ; 190 do @ $4 37% ; 
140 do @ $4 62% ; 90 do, good, © $5 50 ; 190 do, fair, ® 
$4 12% ; 200 do © $4 00; 160 do © $3 62%. 90 Lambs at 
$2 75; 35 do @$3 50; 00 do @$3 75. He reports Mutton 
worth from 8@l0 cents per lb., according to quality, and 
the price of Sheep by the carcase in Washington Market 
from 5%®8% cents per lb. Lambs from 7% @9c according 
to quality. The week closes with a large number left over, 
and sales dull.

ing notes of sales for the past week. Sheep 190@$4 12% ;
