LONDON MAKKETS.-January 10. 



During the past year the price of "Wheat in England has ruled 

 low, with little fluctuation — the highest being the second week in 

 January ($1.50 per bushel), the lowest the last week in December 

 ($1.20 per bushel). The average price of the year was $1.33 per 

 bushel, or 36 cents per bushel less than the arerage price of 1857. 

 The Mark Lane Express says : " The acknowledged deficiency 

 In spring grain has been using up much of the surplus of "Wheat, 

 and, as spring advances, we calculate upon a moderately higher 

 range." The last week of tho year, the country markets generally 

 evinced some improvement, many to the extent of three cents per 

 bushel. A still ifnrther improvement may be expected, as the 

 present rates are less than the average of the eleven years follow- 

 ing the repeal of the Com Laws, in 1S46, by 48c. per bush. 



Good malting Barley maintains its price, varying from 99c. for 

 Mmmon, to $1.23 per bush, for Chevalier. Poor descriptions of 



arley are lower, foreign grinding sorts being offered for C6c. per 

 bash, of 50 lbs. 



Ked Clover Seed was firmer, in consequence of unfavorable re- 

 3orl8 of the crop ; 12c. per lb. was offered, with no prospect of 

 ess being taken, 



Indian Corn brought from STc. a 90c. per bush. 



American Flour, sour, $4.56 a $4.-80 per bbl. ; sweet, $5.76 a $6. 



Linseed firm at $1.62 a $1.74 per bush, for crushing, and $1.92 

 br sowing, 



Ib the "Wool Market there was a bettor feeling, in consequence 

 kf the unusually favorable reports from the manufacturing districts. 

 SIgher prices are expected. The following are the current rates :

SHARE'S COULTER HARROW, OR PULVERIZER 



IS the most superior machine for pulverizing the soil, whether 

 heavy old sod or stiff clay land, that has ever been introduced 

 among farmers. The teeth are a series of coulters i)laced in a 

 three-cornered frame, and cut the soil or sod, pulverizing it several 

 Inches deep, instead of tearing it as the common scratch or Geddes 

 harrows and large two-horse cultivators do. It leaves the soil in 

 the most perfect order, and it acc(jmplishe8 more in being drawn 

 on plowed land once, than can be done by cross-plowing and har- 

 rowing with a common harrow combined. Tho weight of the 

 machine is 189 pounds— its draft lighter than the common Scotch 

 harrow. The experience of Mr. John McHarg, one of the best 

 farmers of the town of Bethlehem, in this county, has convinced 

 him that it is the best instrument for saving labor in cultivating 

 land he has ever seen, and we are privileged to refer to him as to 

 its superiority. The crop of a quarter of an acre wiU pay for the 

 machine. The price is within the means of every farmer, being 



'''chif POTATO AND CORN HOEING, HILLING AND CUL- 

 TIVATING MACHINES are the " Ne Plus Ultra" of such im- 

 plements, and will save their cost in three days' work. They cost 

 onlv $10: and everyone who uses them says they are worth Eve 

 times that amount. RESPONSIBLE AGENTS WANTED.
