Conqueror. 



THE entire horse Conqueror will stand the ensuing 

 season al the Ten Hills Slock farm in Charlestown, two 

 and a half miles fiom Boston, at ten dollars, lo insure a 

 mare in foal, secured by a note at ten months, to be valid 

 and payable in case the mare proves to have been in foal, 

 and one dollar to the groom at the time of coverino-. 



Conqueror was bred near Montreal (Canada) foaled in 

 May, 1S25, and sired by a noted Normandy horse out of a 

 blooil Mare — he is rising 15 hands high and remarkably 

 well gfown, combining great power, generous spirits, 

 good act on, very docile in his temper, and of that hardy 

 color, iron gray. This horse has taken three premiums 

 in Canada, as the best horse in that country. He has 

 probably as mueli, or more than any other hor-;e now liv- 

 ing, of the strains of blood so well known in N. E. by the 

 name of "the Morgan breed" — foin the best accounts 

 Ihe original Morgan horse was made up of the same 

 strains of blood as Conqueror. Conqueror has proved a 

 sure foal-getter, and is recommended to Ihe public by 

 SAML. JAQUES.

for pedigree see late Nos. of the Farmer.

Wool, — Our wool market is in a very inactive state, 

 aud prices have been declining lor some monllis past. 

 As there is an ample supply in the country, and shearing 

 lime near at hand, it is generally expected that prices 

 will go still lower, alter Ihe next dip comes into market ; 

 it is probable that prices will be at least 10 per cent lower 

 for the finest kinds, and fioni 15 to 20 per cent for the 

 lowest.
