GENESEE FARMER OFFICE, ) 



EocHESTKE, N. Y., Junk 22, 1859. ( 



IK our last report, change has been the prevailing feature 

 Produce Market, with a general declining tendency. The 

 ations of operators for a rise, in view of the probability of 

 Europe, have not been realized. There would seem to be 

 ;iple in human nature which prompts its possessor to follow 

 Utitude, or, rather, the multitude to follow the few who lead, 

 as been frequently exemplified in the markets during the 

 ur months. Large advances in price have taken place 

 t aay adequate cause. Operators have rushed blindly and 

 on, regardless of every thing but the one object to secure 

 hase. At length, as it were by common consent, they stop, 

 ink, and retreat, for no other reason than the utter absence 

 fflcicnt one for the advance. It is not wise to follow others 

 it a legitimate and well-considered motive for so doing, 

 in matters pertaining to business, or anything else. 

 "|)UR AND GRAIN.— The markets for breadstuffs are, gen- 

 very dull. Strenuous efforts to keep up prices avail but 

 horl lime. Report* of extensive damage by the late frosts 

 1 30 only a temporary advanM. Price* have beeu forced, 



not only relatively but absolutely, higher than were current in 

 other important markets of the world, and nothing could, or can, 

 sustain them but the shadowy apprehension of a local or domes- 

 tic famine. 



PROVISIONS.— The same dull feeling prevails in this depart- 

 ment The same circumstances Induced, mainly, the speculatfv* 

 feeling and consequent advance in the principal articles, and no 

 adequate reasons are apparent to justify or sustain it. 



CATTLE. — Beef Cattle, Sheep, and Lambs have declined in 

 price, in consequence of warm weather and excessive iupply. 



WOOL. — The market for wool is not active. There is no mani- 

 fest anxiety either to buy or sell, and the new clip is not pressed 

 on the market. A difference of opinion seems to exist in relatiaa 

 to the future. There is such a thing as a cherished theory, and 

 sometimes a habit of clinging somewhat tenaciously to it; never- 

 theless, at the risk of being wrong, we will hazard the opinion 

 that wool may be held at present with advantage.
