The Markets. 



OFFICE OF THE GENESEE FARMER. | 

 Rochester, N. Y., June 25 1862. j 



Since our last report, the price of wheat has advanced from 4 

 to 8 cents per bushel. The reports in regard to the growing crops 

 in England have been less favorable, an i this, together with the 

 high rate of exchange on London, has tem'ed lo give greater 

 firmness to our markets. During the past week, however, ocean 

 freights have advanced, and this has had a depressing effect on 

 prices in New York. Still, as we have said, prices are on the 

 whole 4 to 8 cents better lhau a month ago. 



In New York yesterday, corn was 1 cent lower; sales of West- 

 ern mixed at 50@51c. Oats steady at 43@.45e. Rye firm at 62@, 

 69c. for Western, and 73@74c. for State. Barley, f5@75c. White 

 winter wheat, $1.22@$1.38; sales yesterday of good winter red 

 at $1.15. Beans are wanted; medium, $2.60@,$2.70 ; marrows 

 $2.65©$2.90. 



Eggs are lower— 10)n@!2>£c. per dozen. Butter is in good 

 supply; heavy sales of Ohio in New York at 14h<xhl5c.; State 

 firkins, 15@17c. ; common, 12,>£@15c. Cheese is in demand, an-d 

 receipts light— new State. 6X@7e. ; Ohio, 6@7c 



Hay in demand— sales in bale at $12@,$i;> per ton. 



Wool is in active demand. As we predicted last month, pries 

 are quite firm and likely to continue so for some time. Farmers, 

 however, can now get good prices, and, while we would be in no 

 hurry to sell, it is usually the best way to accept a good offer. 

 Money never was so abundant, and this is favorable to specula- 

 tion and high prices. In Oh o, one of the best wool States in the 

 Union, farmers ask 50c; 46 to 48c. is freely paid lor medium 

 wools, while as hi-jh as 52c. has been paid for some extra fine. In 

 this seelion, 40c is paid for good clips, and 45c for extra. 



New Vokk Cattle Markkt. — Last week i eef cattle receded 

 %e. per lb., owing lo the large supply, principally Imm Illinois. 

 Sa'es generally at 7>£@,Stj'c. The same is true of ihis week. 



Sheep advanced 37>A@,50c. a head. \ e qiv te *@5c. per lb. 

 live weight. Lambs plenly at 7@7^c, live weight, and occa- 

 sionally 8c. 



Milch cows are in better demand. 



Swine are lower— corn-fed"Weslern, $3 12X@.$3.30 per cwt. 



IIorsks — Sales light, but price* firm. One pair of fine bays 

 sold at $80 i ; some second class. $Gl>0@$<'5 per pair. Draft 

 horses in demand at $175@225 each. C mman pairs for farm, 

 $250@,$325 per pair. Con raclors f r Government are purchasing 

 all that arrive. Last week they purchased 30ij head at about $98 

 each. 



Money Lost in the Mail.— Whenever money is lost in 

 the mail, we always send the paper just the same as 

 though the money had been received. We have lost more 

 money this year than usual, especially from Canada. 

 Previously, remittances from Canada almost invariably 

 came safely to hand, but this year there is evidently 

 something wrong on the route. The post office authori- 

 ties should look into the matter. 



Money may be mailed at our risk, but there is one rule 

 which we wish our friends to observe. Do not say a ward 

 to any one on the subject. Mail the letter yourself, and 

 it will generally come safely. If not. it is our loss. If 

 the papers do not come by return mail, write and inform 

 us of the fact, and the papers will be sent.
