EEVIEW OF THE MARKETS. 



GENESEE FARMER OFFICE, | 

 Roohestee, N. Y., Febeuabt 21, 1859. )' 



The present aspect of the markot is one of more than nsual 

 interest. Previous low prices had induced a speculative feeling, 

 wUich was soon manifest in a rapid advance. As usual, on such 

 occasions, matters were run somewhat to an opposite extreme. 

 The advance, which was most marked in the low and high grades, 

 was equal to o«c dollar a barrel in three weeks; in medium 

 brands it was not so great. That prices h.id previously fallen too 

 low, docs not admit of a rca.?onable doubt ; that the re-action was 

 of too strong and rapid a character, is scarcely less a matter of 

 doubt; that the last crop, in this country, was below an average, 

 may bo regarded as certain ; that speculation has had much to do 

 tn producing the present state of the market is equally apparent. 

 At current prices, a foreign demand is out of the question, ns in 

 England and Continental Europe they are lower than here. The 

 home demand, therefore, is all on which to depend for support. 

 This may bo sufficient, gpocul.itlvo and real, to sustain existing 

 r»te« until the opening of spring, especially if the anxiety In Eu- 

 rope should not subside. If that should manifest Itself in a more 

 decided form, a fUriher advance may take place ; otherwise, n 

 decline will most likely follow the opening of navigation. The 

 pro«p<v;t of the future crop will then have its influence; but it is 

 ye< t-io soon to form an opinion on that point. 



FLOUR AND GRAIN.— The market for Flour and Wheat U 

 very sensitive. An advance brings out increased supplies, atvl 

 these produce a retrograde movement In prices. If speculators 



should rcalixo to any extent, a material tleclino would follow. 1 

 coarse grain, the market is more steady and hoalUiy, and, wit 

 the exception of Corn and Oats, has a slight upward tendency. 



PROVISIONS.— The market generally firm and tending uj 

 ward. A speculative demand Is apparent in ISeef and Porl 

 arising, perhaps, from a supposed deficiency in the general stocl 

 or an apjirehension of trouble abroad. In either case doubtful. 



WOOL.— The market is universally firm. Here, we think, tJ; 

 holder i.s safe. Speculators are anxious to make contracts for ll 

 next clip. Farmers, look well to your interest in this ni:\lte 

 The practice of tolling anything before it is remiy for market, i 

 to say the least, of doubtlul policy. We think the quotations ft 

 this article, espooijilly the high grades, are decidedly loo low.
