NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
At Market. —1,500 Beeves, (1,300 southern, the remainder from 
this state and the east,) 120 Cows and Calves, and 2,600 Sheep and 
Lambs. 
Beef Cattle .—An abundant supply, sales varying from $6 to 
$8.50 per hundred. Market firm—none left over. 
Cows and Calves .—The sales of these have been active, the 
supply having hardly met the demands. The pricss varied from 
$22 to 42.50. None left over - . 
Sheep and Lambs .—The prices of these continue firm, vary¬ 
ing from $2 to $6. Left unsold, 150. May 13. 
Remarks.— Seeds being out of season are low and depressed. 
Flour is a little better than at our last. 
The Weather still continues cool, and crops and planting 
thus far, very backward. Cotton is as unpromising as last year, 
and the prospects respecting it thus far are gloomy enough. Fruit 
is uncommonly promising.

from S. P. Chapman, Long-Island Subscriber, Buffaloe, E. H. 
Brown, Paris M. Walker, E. Hammond, II. B. R., Urbane B. Og¬

A JLffHBN’3 improve® portable bail* 
road Horse Power, Thresher, and Separator.—The advan- 
vantages of the above horse powers are—1. They occupy but 
little more space than a horse. 2. They can be moved by the 
weight of the home only, by placing the machine at an angle of 
10 or 15 degrees. 3. They are easily transported, simply con¬ 
structed, not liable to get out of order, and move with little fric¬ 
tion. 
The Overshot Threshers consist of a small-spiked cylinder 
with a concave top, and possess these advantages. 1. They have 
a level table for feeding, thus enabling the tenders to stand 
erect, and control the motions of the horse and machine by means 
of a brake, by which accidents are avoided. 2. In consequence 
of the spikes lifting the straw and doing the work on the top, 
stones, blocks, &c., drop at the end of the table, and are not car¬ 
ried between the spikes. 3. The overshot cylinder does not scat¬ 
ter the grain but throws it within three feet, of the machine. 4. 
This arrangement also admits of attaching a separator high enough 
from the floor or ground to allow all the grain to fall through it, 
while the straw is deposited by itself in the best condition for 
binding. 5. Neither grain nor straw are broken by this machine. 
6. The cylinder is long, which admits of faster and more ad¬ 
vantageous feeding; it is smaller and with fewer teeth than ordi¬ 
nary threshere, thus admitting of more rapid motion and faster 
work with less power ; and the diminution of teeth in the cylin¬ 
der is fully made up by an increased number in the concave top, 
which is stationary. 7. The separator is a great advantage in 
diminishing the labor of raking out the straw, as it leaves the 
grain in the best condition for the fanning mill. Three men with 
a single power, can thresh 100 to 150 bushels of wheat or rye 
per day; and four men with a double power, twice that quantity. 
All the above are compact and can be carried where wanted, 
complete, or they may be readily taken apart and packed for 
distant transportation by wagon or otherwise. 
Price of single Power, $80 
« “ • Thresher, $28 
“ Separator and fixtures, $7

« Wood-sawing machine, complete, and in running 
order, $35 
Price of Double Power, $100 
« with Thresher, Separator, &c., $145 to $150 
All the above are sold singly or together, as desired, and are 
warranted to work well and give satisfacion.
