At market, 1,150 beef Cattle, (110 from the south), 35 Cows and Calves, and 2,350 Sheep and Lambs.
PRICES.--_Beef Cattle_ have slightly improved, and we quote $4.25 a $5 to $5.25 a $5.50 for the best. 1,101 unsold.
_Cows and Calves._--All taken at $18 a $27.
_Sheep and Lambs._--Sales of Lambs at $1 a $2, and of Sheep at 1.37½ a $3.50. 100 unsold.
REMARKS.--_Ashes_, since the late news from Europe, have been in good request. _Candles_, especially those made of stearic, are brisk. _Cotton_. The day after the arrival of the Caledonia with advices of a fall in England, this article receded nearly ¼ of a cent per lb.; but a brisk demand springing up for export, it has recovered, and is about the same now as before the reception of the late news. We hear nothing particularly new from the south regarding the picking, the weather upon the whole supposed to be more favorable. Export from the United States since 1st September last, 62,450 bales; same time last year, 113,301; same time year before, 99,904. _Flour_. The continued navigation on the canals, has brought us an unprecedented supply, and a large quantity has gone into store; a good business, however, continues to be done in it. The total arrivals this season have been 1,440,000 brls. _Rye-flour_ is dull. _Buckwheat_, very scarce and advancing. _Cornmeal_, dull. _Wheat_ is in good demand, and prices stiff. _Rye_, declining. _Barley_, _Oats_, and _Corn_, in fair demand. _Hemp_, dull. _Hops_, improving. _Molasses_, not much inquired for. _Beef_ and _Pork_, quiet, and little doing at present in them. _Lard_, much wanted. _Hogs_. Extreme rates now in Cincinnati are from $2.25 to $2.75; we are free to repeat, however, that we believe the first quality of hogs will be worth $3 by Christmas. _Rice_, of the better qualities, scarce. _Seeds_, especially Timothy, in good request. _Sugar_, quite inactive. _Tobacco_, fine Kentucky, scarce and wanted; stems, none in market. _Wool_ seems to have taken a fresh start again, and prices have an upward tendency.
_Stocks_. A large business continues to be done in these, and they are still gradually advancing.
_Money_ plenty, and seeking investment at the usual low rates.
_Real Estate_ seems at last to have come into demand, and considerable sales in this species of property have recently taken place at good prices. It must henceforth advance. Our population and wealth have increased in an unprecedented ratio within the past four years, and there is no reason why real estate should remain at its late low prices, and transactions in it any longer stagnant.
