NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
At Market —1,000 Beeves, (300 southern, the remainder mostly 
from this state,) 55 Cows and Calves, and 5,000 Sheep and Lambs. 
Beef Cattle. —The supplies of Beeves are gradually diminishing 
as the winter advances; prices are getting a little firmer; the 
average of the market is $5 @ $7.75, at which price sales of 
good retailing qualities have been made. There would be about 
100 head left over. The market closes’dull. 
Cows and Calves. —Sales at from $20 @ $45; demand good. 
All sold. 
Sheep and Lambs. —Sales of Sheep at from $1.12# @ $4, as in 
quality; Lambs $1 @ $2.75; 500 left over. 
Hay and Straw. —Sales bale hay at from 3s. 67. @5s. 67. per 
100 ; loose from country wagons, 4s. 67. @ 6s. Straw, $2.25 @ $3 
the hundred bundles. 
Remarks. —Cotton, Flour, Grain, and Provisions have receded 
slightly since our last; and, as all Europe is now at peace, and the 
crops have been good there the preceding year, we must look for 
a still further reduction of prices, though probably to only a 
moderate extent. This should stimulate us to manufacture every¬ 
thing -that we possibly can for ourselves. The less we import, and 
the more we manufacture at home, the richer and more inde¬ 
pendent we shall be. 
The weather still continues mild, and highly favorable for the 
sugar planters. In consequence of large numbers of squirrels 
emigrating south, and snowbirds, in considerable flocks, making 
their appearance thus early, a hard winter is anticipated by the 
popular sight-seer3. However, about this we can tell better next 
spring; but it will be wise for every one to be well prepared for 
cold weather, and then if it does come, they will not suffer 
from it. 
To Correspondents. —We are much obliged for the useful 
variety of your communications the past month, and trust you 
will keep them up with equal spirit throughout the year. There 
is nothing like a good correspondence for an agricultural paper. 
Every one who contributes a page or more of good matter, will be 
entitled to the Agriculturist, gratis, for one year. Sergeant Tel- 
true, and several others, came too late for this number, it having 
been put to press a week earlier than usual, so as to be got off 
before the holidays.
