Wool Market. 



A large business has been done in wool during the past 

 ■week — probably 50,000 lbs. have been sold in tliis market. 

 The general range of prices is from 25 to 35 cents. .\ very 

 few large lots of fine woo), in excellent condition, have 

 brought 37 cts., and some lots 37^ cents. Dealers inform 

 us that wool is brought to market in better condition this 

 year tlian formerly — greater pains being taken to cleanse it. 

 Farmers will find it greatly for their interest to see that their 

 wool is brought to market in good condition. 



It is difficult to give the prices according to blood, as buy- 

 ers look to condition, cleanness, &c., in making purchases. 

 We however subjoin the general range : 



Full blood Saxony fleeces, 31 a 35 



do. Merino do 28 a 31 



Half-blood do. do 25 a 28

To Advertisers. 



The Ge.'JEsee Farmer is by fur the best medium for ad- 

 vertising in this section of the country. In addition to a 

 very large circulation in Western New York, it has thou- 

 sands of readers in the Western and South-western States, 

 New England and the Canadas. It has subscribers in every 

 State and Territory (except Oregon) in the Union. The far- 

 mer is received by 8e\eral thousand country merchants, 

 post-masters, &c., and is therefore a very desirable medium 

 for the advertisements and business cards of wholesale deal 

 ers of all kinds. 



The enlargement of the Farmer next month, will enable 

 us to give a variety of short advertisements. Manufacturers 

 and dealers in Agricultural Implements, owners of valuable 

 Patent Rights, breeders of choice Cattle and Sheep, Ntir- 

 serymen, &c., &c., will find that the Farmer is a better and 

 cheaper medium (taking terms and circulation into the ac- 

 count,) than any other agricultural journal. 



We make this announcement, because we have hereto- 

 fore been compelled to decline the publication of many ad 

 vertisemeuta for the want of space. 



Terms : — Short advertisements will be inserted at the 

 rate of $1 per square for the first insertion, and 75 cents for 

 each subsequent insertion, (25 per cent, less than our pres- 

 ent terms.) Contracts at a less rate will be made with 

 those who wish a column or page, by the year. 



O^ Advertisements for our August number .should be 

 in hand previous to the 20th of July. All communicatioas 

 addressed to the Publisher, post paid, will receive prompt 

 attention. July 1, 1847. 



To Clubs.— Any Post Master or other person who has 

 sent us eight or more subscribers, will be furnished with 

 any additional number of copies at the club price— 37^ cents 

 each. We hope those who have formed clubs, will bear 

 this in mind, and forward the subscriptions of such as may 

 hereafter want the Farmer. Back numbers can be supplied 

 — so that al] may have the entire volume. 



(O^ List of acknowledgments necessarily deferred.
