MARKET INTEI^IilGENCE. 



Rochester, Oct. 1. 

 Thk Idle foreign news has created considerable activity 

 in this marked— having advanced the prices of Flour, Wheat 

 and Corn. Holders of Flour ask $4 75 a $5. Wheat and 

 other grain is selling at the quotations given below. 



TO THE FARMERS. 

 We have now on hand of APPLE TREES, large enough 

 for transplanting to the Orchard, more than all the oth- 

 er ^JuRSERYMEN IN ROCHESTER, and cau therefore ofier 

 greater inducements to purchasers by giving them a selec- 

 tion from such a great number. 



Trees grown in this vicinity, are generally iiiore healthy 

 and less infected with insects than those obtained from any 

 other quarter, besides being more hardy. 



We do not intend to cultivate any fruits but those of 

 acknowledged superiority, and every variety named in our 

 Catalogue may be depended upon as being first rate, ex- 

 cept when otherwise noted. Persons unacquainted with 

 the character of the different varieties, may leave their se- 

 lection to us, and depend upon receiving the choicest kinds 

 ripening in succession. 



Trees delivered in any part of the city free of expense. 

 When packed so as to insure safe carriage to almost any 

 distance a small charge will be made to cover the expense. 



Orders from unknown correspondents must be accompa- 

 nied by a remittance, or a city reference. Catalogues fur- 

 nished gratis, and cheerful and prompt attention given to 

 all 2 ost paid letters requesting information. 



Ornamental Trees and Shrubs ftn-nished from our own 

 Nursery ; and where we cannot fill the order, we will buy 

 of our neighbors and sell at their prices. 



As we anticipate a large sale this season, purchasers will 

 please bear in mind that the earliest orders are always entitled 

 to the preference, and will, of course, be better filled than 

 later ones. 



We are happy, at all times, to receive calls from any per- 

 sons interested in the culture of fruit ; and for our trees, 

 challenge comparison with any groicn here or elsewhere. 



Scions furnished to those who wish to graft for them- 

 selves or others. 



Prices as moderate as those of any other establishment, 

 and a liberal discount made to those who buv to sell again.

[By Magnetic Telegraph.'\ 



New York, Oct. 1. 



Flour closed at $5,62.2 for good brands, and they were 

 .selling at that figure, but no less. l"he entire sales for ex- 

 port do not exceed 3000 bbls., including 1000 Oswego last 

 night. These sales were all at $5,62^. About 1000 bbla. 

 fancy sold at $5,81^ a $5,87^. The Eastern and home trade 

 demands have not been large — a rapid advance cau.sing buy- 

 ers to take only for immediate want. Southern description* 

 are held at $5,62i a $5,75. 



The market for grain is well sustained in prices, but with 

 the exception of wheat, the transactions have been light. 

 The sales of wheat are 17000 bushels. White western at 

 ,$1,15, and .5000 red at $1,10 all for export. Of corn the 

 sales are small in consequence of the high rates demanded. 

 .Vbout 3000 white sold at 80 cts.; 1000 do. 83 a 85, and 

 10,000 northern yellow and white at 80.
