 inents; there are sixteen dwelling houses, be- 

 sides taverns, stores, mechanic's shops, and 

 other buildings attached to the establishment. 

 It employs ti3 males and 42 females, and pays 

 out annually, for labor and fuel, about $25. 

 000 : the quantity of wool used yearly amounts 

 tu 150,000 pounds, and much of it is brought 

 from Soulh America and '.lie Mediterranean ; 

 about 100,000 yards of Carpeting are manu- 

 factured annually, and Ihe capital invested a 

 mounts to upwards of $100,000. 



This estalbishment has seen in operation on- 

 ly about three years, and has already an es 

 tablished reputation for the beauty and dura- 

 bility of its Carpets. The process of weaviug 

 is singularly intricate and perplexing, partic. 

 ularly the formation of thefiguies and the in- 

 termingling of the various colors and timings ; 

 this operation is performed entirely by males, 

 principally Scotchmen, whose skill and expe 

 i ience cannot be surpassed scarcely inEurope. 

 The high price of .vool has tended to enhance 

 the value of American Carpeting, but when 

 our farmers turn their attention to the more 

 general growing of wool, we may expect a 

 vast quantity ol money will be liept ai home 

 and the price of American Carpets piopor 

 tinnally reduced, — Northampton Courier. 



SEWS OP THE WEEK. 



AMERICAN TARIFF. 



One effect of this measure ha9 been the im- 

 portation of English yarn into the U. States, 

 instead of eloth. Formerly we exported vast 

 quantities of cloths'lo America, but the duty 

 imposed by the tariff is now, including freight. 

 &c. 1 8d per yard, and we send them the yarn 

 to make them of in the dyed state Immense 

 quantities of cotton, linen worsted and wool 

 len yarns are now exported from England, 

 and woven in foreign countries, in some of 

 which the power-loom is in full operation. — 

 Leeds Mercury.

 it accordingly "

ROCHESTER PRICES CURRENT. 



March 11, 1831. 



The Wheat Market — Owing to the late 

 news from Europe, there has been considera- 

 ble business done in wheat, the week past ; se- 

 veral large lots have been bought, and prices 

 have rather improved, although we quote the 

 same as the week before. Several contracts 

 have been made for delivery in June and July 

 as high as $1 09, in lots of from five to ten 

 thousand bushels. 



POTATO-ONIONS.

 lisher of the Farmer, for sale, by Mr. Barker. (See Far-

 was their reputation, that they sold for one guinea pel- 

 pint ; they are remarkably early, very productive, and 

 grow only twelve inches high — should be planted three 

 inches spart, as they spread like a fan ; they commence 

 blooming when only three inches high.
