GENESEE FARMER. 



June- 



MARKET INTELLIGENCE. 



Rochester, May 26, 1846. 



OuK Produce and Provision Market is excessively dull. — 

 The recent foreign news produced an unfavorable effect 

 npon the produce market in this city and Buffalo — though 

 the same arrival seems to have produced a favorable effect 

 in New York, 



Wool. — But few lots of this j-car's clip have appeared in 

 market, and the price is not established. The prospect is 

 tliat the market will open from 2 to 3 cents less, per lb., 

 than last season. 



New York, May 22— 3.J P. M. 



F»ouR.— 3000 bbls. sold for exportation at $4,50 for Mich- 

 igan and $4,5(j for Genesic. Genesee, for con.sumplion, 

 ^.56 a 62.3. No sale of wheat. Old prices are no longer 

 bid for rye ; 500 bush. Tcnn. brought 61 cts. 27U0 bush. 

 N. O. mixed corn sold at 60 cts. 56 lbs. Corn is heavy ; 

 northern oats 43 cts. 



I'oRK is heavy at $9 and $11. 



Beef $6,75 a $7,50 for mess ; city prime $5. 



The foreign news is considered on the whole as favorable. 

 T he quotation of 26s for Hour in Liverpool netts $6. The 

 Knglish quotations for pork and beef are quite satisfactory. 



15,512 bbls. flour, 15,907 bush, corn, and 3,600 wheat re- 

 ceived by the North River boats on Friday. — Jour. Com. 



Buffalo, May 25. 



There has been a better demand for wheat this morning, 

 but to effect sales holders have been compelled to submit to 

 a decline. The transactions that have fallen under our ob- 

 servation are the sale of 5300 bush. Wabash at 81 cts., and 

 4500 bush. Milwaukie at 82. The demand for flour for ex- 

 port is also very fair, but here the views of buyers and sel- 

 lers conflict, the former refusing to offer $3,75 and the latter 

 evincing an unwillingness to sell under $3,81. In corn 

 there is not much doing, the inquiry being limited to small 

 lots for city trade, and holders generally being desirous to 

 sell at 40 cts. 



24,186 bbls. flour, 82,953 bush, wheat, and 29,549 corn 

 arrived by Lake from Saturday to Monday evening. 11,2J9 

 bbls. flour, 3.1,640 bush, wheat and 1000 bush, corn shipped 

 east by canal Saturday. — Commercial.

 will please accept our sincere thanks for so generous an ex-

 a portion of tlieir influence in its behalf — and we shall duly
