Since the passage of the tariff there has been more dispo- 

 sition manifested by the manufacturers to purchase to a 

 moderate extent, but there has been no speculative dci and 

 nor any decided improvement in prices realized. The mar- 

 ket may be considered as firmer. From 300 to 400 bales of 

 South American, of diflercut descriptions have been taken 

 by manufacturers, at former prices. The supply of most 

 descriptions of woollen goods is large, and prices exceeding- 

 ly low. Until the stock is materially reduced, and better 

 prices are realized, there will not be a material increase in 

 the consumption of wool, and consequently no great advance 

 can be reasonably expected at present.

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvemoius have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs; the mould hinrd 

 has been so formed as to lay Ike furrow com/ilrlc/y oner, 

 lurning. in cvcrtj particle of grass or sliU'ble, andieav'ing the 

 ground in Ihe best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has Ik a very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works with Ihe greatest ease, both with respect to 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the late trial 

 of Ploughs at VVoreester, say, 



" Should our opinion be asked as to which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhap-. say 10 

 the inquirer, il your land is mostly light' and easy to work, 

 try Prouty & Hears, but if your land is heavy, hard orrochy, 

 BEGIN WITH Mr. Howard's." 



At the above mer.t;oned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more work, with the same pswer of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentyse .'en 

 and one half inches, to the 112 lbs. draught, while the 

 Howard Plough turned twentynlne and one hat f inches, to 

 the same power of team ! All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Plouglis are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quiie an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or laud side of this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having to furnish a new landside; this shoe likewise seciiies 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough Very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 toSl5. A Plough, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 S.o 50, and with cutler Si, with wheel and cutler, $2 00 



re for sale, wholesale and retail, at 

 Ituial Warehouse and Seed Store,

GRAIN CR\DLES. 



'i'he diflierencein gathering a crop is so much in favor of 

 cradhng, that we must suppose that it will be the only mode 

 adopted hereafter, and the grain cradle will become of as 

 much use as an implement of husbandry, as the plow now is. 



There has been a very great improvement in the manu- 

 facturing of this article, they are now made on the most 

 improved )ilan ; the scythe is well secured and finished in a 

 superior manner and made of the best cast steel.
