NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
At, Market 1,800 beef cattle, (500 southern, the rest from this 
state,) 90 cows and calves, and 6,000 Sheep and Lambs. 
Beeves. —Business has been rather dull the week past—the 
market supplied with more than purchasers are ready to take, at 
the current prices, which, for good retailing qualities this week, 
may be quoted at from §5.50 to §8; the latter price rather hard 
to get. 
At the up-town market, 40 head were taken for the supply of 
the Bermuda naval contract. About 350 unsold. 
Cows and Calves are rather slow of sale. Prices range at from 
§20 to §47. 20 left over. 
Sheep and Lambs are from 2s. to 4s. per head lower. The 
market is plentifully supplied, but the demand slack. Sales at 
from §1.75 to §5, as in quality. About 1,500 unsold. jan. 14 
Remarks. —Since our last, corn, oats, and wool have advanced, 
while barley and guano have fallen. 
The Weather has been quite cold up to the 7th, with deep 
snows, north and west of us; while in this city and on the sea¬ 
board around, scarce any snow has fallen. Since the 7th, the 
weather has become mild and spring-like, with some rain.

from A. S. M., George Barber, C. S. Augustus, C. F., G., Thomas 
Roberts J., A Young Farmer, and G.

against Dogs. —Too late for this number—will appear in our
