1847.] Flour and Grain. 63 



Frederick Keizel exhibited six heads of celery nearly if not 

 quite equal to Mr. Chapman's, and a special premium is recom- 

 mended of $2. 



He is also entitled to commendation for very fine specimens of 

 lettuce, red and white radishes — both of which are out of season 

 for premiums. 



V. P. Douw, Greenbush, is entitled to commendation for his fine 

 long cucumbers, (about 20 inches long.) 



James Wilson exhibited a peck of very fine Rosi early potatoes, 

 scarcely if at all second to those exhibited by Mr. Walsh, quite 

 equal in size, but not in maturity. 



E. P. Prentice, premium, for best cauliflowers, cabbages, and 

 rhubarb, all of which were very superior. The giant rhubarb re- 

 markably large and fine. 



Herman Wendell exhibited two fine specimens of early peas, 

 and several very fine heads of lettuce. 



FLOUR AND GRAIN. 



The quantity of flour, wheat, corn and barley left at tide water 

 during the first week in July, in the years 1846 and 1847, is as 

 follows: —

 The aggregate quantity of the same articles left at tide water 



from the commencement of navigation to the 7th of July, inclu- 

 sive, is as follows : — 



Flour, brls. Wheat, bu. Corn, bu. Barley, bn 



1847, 1,578,170 1,823,147 2,750,031 240,639

Inc. 513,804 1,440,210 2,153,697 95,772 



By reducing the wheat to flour, the quantity of the latter left at 

 tide water this year, compared with the corresponding period of 

 last year, shows an excess equal to 801,846 barrels of flour. 



The receips of corn thus far exceed by 1,139,882 bushels the 

 entire receipts for 1846.
