Buffalo, July 29. 



The inquiry for flour is not so good to-day, and holders 

 evince a disposition to sell freely for $3,25 for mixed brands, 

 and $3,31i for straight brands. We hear of but two trans- 

 actions — the sale of 112 bbls. of mixed Michigan at $3,25, 

 and 150 do. of Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan at the same. 



Very few buyers of wheat are in the market to-day, and 

 we have heard of no sale. Good samples of the better qual- 

 ities, however, may still be quoted at 69 a 70 ets. 



There is no corn in the Market, and the demand cannot 

 be said to be brisk. The article may be quoted at 32 a 34c. 



In pork there has been a moderate business doing, the 

 sales amounting to about 120 bbls. In regard to prices no 

 positive change can be noted, although holders in some in- 

 stances have submitted to a slight concession, with a view 

 of clearing out parcels. 



.Moderate sales of white fish are made at $6 for bbls., and 

 $3,25 for half bbls. 



Highwines continue in good request, and a sale of 75 bbls. 

 •was made at 19 cts. Salt steady at $1.

To Subscribers in Arrears. 



On the commencement of the current volume we mailed 

 the Farmer to most of the old subscribers, and requested 

 all who did not wish to continue it to return the first number. 

 To those who did not comply with this request the paper 

 has been reguhirly forwarded — as we presumed they desired 

 to continue it as jiermanent subscribers, A great majority 

 of those to whom the Farmer was thus sent have forwarded 

 their subscriptions — many sending pay for this and the next 

 volume, and others for clubs of new subscribers. But there 

 are still several liundred from whom we nave not heard — 

 probably owing to the ineouvenienco of mailing 50 cents. 

 To such we would remark that their subscriptions will be 

 very acceptable at the present time — and if they will each 

 send $1, we will credit them for this and the next volume ; 

 or, if preferred, they cnii remit 50 cents for this year, and 

 the same amount for some friend who may want the paper. 

 As it is necessary for us to settle oiu- accounts soon, prepar- 

 atory to tlie commencement of vol. 8, we trust all who are 

 interested in this notice will give it their early attention. 



O^ We send (in this or next number.) a printed notice to 

 those who are in arrears. Should any who have paid re- 

 ceive "notice," they will please inform us to whom their 

 subscriptions were paid, and the mistake will be promptly 

 corrected. If properly mailed, $1 may be sent at our risk, 

 and (in this case,) we will pay postage. 



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

 Re-Print. — A Liberal Offer! 



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

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

 tion — and can now supply one thousand new subscri- 

 bers with all the numbers from the commencement of the 

 volume. We sh.all 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 this number to those who have 

 recently subscribed, and if they \\ ill obtain and forward the 

 subscriptions of their friends it \\ ill save us from loss. 



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

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

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

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

 a remittance of $6, we will seu'l an additional copy and a 

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

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