The Markets. 



OFFICE OF THE GENESEE FARMER. ) 

 Rochester, N. Y., May 26, 1863. ) 



Thrrr hare been few changes in the Grain market since our 

 jt report. Under the resumption of internal navigation, and 

 le immense receipts of Grain from the West, prices have a 

 rooping tendency. The crops in this country and in Europe are 

 1 the wliole looking well, and give promise of a full average 

 eld. In Europe, the Poland insurrection is not put down, and 

 )eculatlons as to a general war enter into the calculations as to 

 e future range of prices ; while, in spite of the immense re- 

 ipts of Grain from this country, the English papers still insist 

 at " America is less likely than ever to overwhelm us (ihem) 

 iih imporls." 

 Ilay has been very scarce in this market, nnd has sold as high 



9&0 per tun ! It is now lower, though still scarce and high. 

 >ans are 50 cents a bushel higher. 



Tlitre have been so few changes in general prices since last 

 3nth, that we omit our usual report of the local markets. 

 Potatoes are lower. In New York. Mercers sell at $1.50 to 

 .2.5 per brl., according to quality. Peachblows, &c., |1.25@ 

 .50.

 od yellow are light ; 20c. per lb. would be pa'rd for It 

 N'ew Cheese is in good demand and firmer New milk State 

 ings 9,'i@li;^c. per lb. Eggs bring from 12 to to 15c. per doz. 

 New Yoke Cattlk M'akkbt.— Beef Cattle were higher at the 



t week's market {May 19) than fver before. Extra Cattle 

 night 13c. per lb., and the poorest lie. net. This is the highest 



the high markets— and it is thought will be the last of the sea- 

 i. The indications now are that Cattle will be lower. 

 Vlilch Cows are moderately active at $35@45 for common av- 

 »ge Cows, and $50@60 for fair average family Cows, and $65@ 



for those of a better class.

 ' $8.50 to *4.00. They have been as high as $5.50. Mutton
