 There is little doing in Produce. Our quotations exhibit 

 quite a decline in prices since last month. 



Wool.. — ]?UYers estimate the transactions during the past 

 two weeks at about 120,000 lbs. A great proportion of the 

 wool brought in has been of the lower and medium grades — 

 flock-masters having fine wool are ))robably holdinc on for 

 better prices. The following quol itions will give the pres- 

 ent range of prices : —

[From the Re-print of our January number.] 

 Re-Print. — A Liberal Offer! 



It being necessary to re-print this and tiie February num- 

 ber, in order to furnish subscribers, we publish a large edi- 

 tion — and cnn now supply one thousand new subscri- 

 bers with all tlie nimibers from the comuicneement of the 

 volume. We shall be thankful for orders from those who 

 will aid us in disposing of this extra edition — and trust that 

 new subscribers and other friends who receive a copy of 

 this re-print will lend their influence toward extending the 

 circulation of the Farmer. We have been at considerable 

 expense in order to supply tliis number to those who have 

 recently subscribed, and if they will obtain and forward the 

 subscriptions of iheir friends it will save us from loss. 



To such as are disposed to lend their aid, we make the 

 following offer : — Any person who will send us eight new 

 subscribers to the current volume, and remit $3, shall re- 

 ceive a ninth copy gratis ; and for 16 new subscribers, and 

 a remittance of ,$6, we will send an additional copy and a 

 bound volume of last year'.s Farmer — or, if preferred, a copy 

 of this and the next (1847) volume. June, 1846. 



0= We occasionally s,-»nd specimen numbers of the 

 Farmer to Post Masters ani others who are not subscribers. 

 Will those who thus recei\ > it, introduce the paper to the 

 notice of their friends and acquaintances, and obtain and 

 forward subscriptions according to our club terms? We 

 think it will compare fovorably with other agricultural pub- 

 lications, especially when its size and terms are taken into 

 consideration. Those who like the manner and matter of 

 the Farmer can essentially aid in sustaing it, by exercising 

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

 appreciate and acknowledge all such favors.
