THE GENESEE FARMEPw. 



land, the Wheat has sustained considerable damage from heavy 

 storms of rain ntui liail. The nilense beat of the weather also has 

 ha<l a liail effect in ripening the grain prematurely. The same 

 remarks will apply to France and some other parts of Continental 

 Eumpe. Much grain of inferior quality will result from the large 

 quantity beat down by the Blorms. Potatoes are badly diseased 

 in many places, and the evil is extending itself. Nevertheless, 

 Willi a liirgf stock of old grain still on hand, and a fair prospect 

 of an average crop, in regard to both quantity and quality, in 

 some CO ntries, ami lui abundance in others, i>riees had a down- 

 ward tendency, rather than otherwise, at the latest dates. There 

 is therefore scarcely a probability of a foreign demand, except at 

 a low price. Farmers may feel reluctant to sell now, but a more 

 favorable lime may not soon occur. Coarse grain is much lower. 

 Corn and Oats in fair request. Barley and Kye dull. 



In the Provision Markets, Pork is much depressed. With a 

 large slock on hand, holders are anxious to sell. The demand is 

 quite moderate ; and as the season is advanced, prices still tend 

 downward. Beef is declining, irregular in price, and slow of 

 sale. Other articles in this department are in fair request, at 

 steady prices, with a moderate supply. 



The supply of Beef Cattle is equal to the demand, but the qual- 

 ity is inferior. Prime grades are in request at full prices. Sheep 

 and Lambs are in good supply at steady prices. Swine plenty 

 and lower. 



The demand for "Wool is not active, but, as holders are firm, 

 prices are well sustained. At the late fair in Cleveland, good 

 samples met with a ready sale at high rates in comparison with 

 those paid in m.'ny markets during the early part of the season. 



ROCHESTER MARKET. -Aug. 22.

 our last report. Potjitoes are lower and supply good. In ol .er 

 matters, there is not much chanse.
