AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
Apples continue about the same as for some weeks past. 
Sound lots, selected with care, command a high price. The 
quantity in market docs not vary much at this season. 
Poultry is in demand at the same rate as quoted last 
week, and the supply in market is considerable. 
NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
A very deficient supply of cattle to-day had the effect of 
keeping up the prices to the same average as last week, for 
the demand was by no means brisk, or a desire to purchase 
at high rates very manifest. Those butchers only attended 
who were in want of something to kill, and of course were 
obliged to take what they could get. Owing to the state of 
the roads, the cattle have arrived very irregularly during the 
past week, and several expected lots did not come in. The 
number for sale at the Washington Yards did not exceed 
1200, though the number reported is considerably greater 
owing to the irregularity of their receipt. There was a good 
attendance of dealers when we take into consideration the 
fact that yesterday was the great holiday of the year, and 
that many of the regular visitors at the yards kept the day 
in popular style. An arrangement entered into by the drov¬ 
ers and others concerned with this, the principal cattle 
market day of the city, will take effect next Tuesday, and 
the market day will hereafter be on Tuesdays instead of 
Mondays. The encroachment on the quiet and due observ¬ 
ance of the Sabbath which heretofore resulted from forward¬ 
ing cattle in time for the market on Monday, will thus be 
obviated, and this is a sufficient reason for the change.

Sheep.— At Chamberlin’s the supply of sheep was small 
for the week, and few on hand to-day. The prices have a 
tendency to rise. 
The following are a few lots and their prices, sold by Wm. 
Deheart during the week : 112 sheep for $621 50 ; 52 do., 
£253 50 ; 40, 8107 62. The last lot were below medium 
quality. Also 55 sheep, @$4 50 ; 40, @$4 25 ; 45, @$4 87; 
21, @$5 87%. 
The average prices for sheep may be quoted at $2 75, £4 
@$7 . 
Lambs may be considered out of season; few are now 
offered. 
At Browning’s there was no variation in the price of 
sheep worth recording. The receipts were considerably 
less than those of the previous week- 
Veals. — Those fit for market command a fair price ; 7c. 
is about the average, while those unfit for food are sold for 
whatever they will bring. 
Swine.— Hogs continue steady at last week’s prices ; there 
were none received at the Washington Yards, the north 
river is the route by which they are forwarded from this 
State. At the West they are quoted at 4c. nett to packers. 
Dressed carcases are sold in lots, on board the market boats, 
north river, at 0%@7c., and on foot the price is about 5@ 
5% cents.
