Probably because there isn't such constructor.
API for Byte object
API for Short object
The values in the parenthesis are not treated as byte and short but as int. I haven't try this and I don't know if it will work so don't blame me, but try:
Byte b = new Byte( (byte)3 );
Short s = new Short( (short)34 );
