The aggregate amounts of the sales of the 

 association is $43,300. 



The day was delighful and the sale passed 

 o£F pleasantly and satisfactorily to all concerned. 

 At noon a fine collation, prepared by Mr. Myers, 



was served up to the company. We have not 

 space to give the prices of the cattle to the Im- 

 porting Association, but the figures at which 

 they sold, generally exceeded the cost. In a 

 few instances they fell below, but the competi- 

 tion was pretty strong and to make up it will 

 be seen that some of the stook wen toff at almost 

 fabulous prices. The stallion, "Ynung Barn- 

 ton" for instance sold for upwards of three 

 thousand dollars more than he cost. Some of 

 the heifers and bulls were likewise run up by 

 the competitors, to corresponding high fii^ures 

 The Association, we doubt not, has fully reali- 

 zed all its outlay and expenses. 



Sangamon, Morgan and Menard counties 

 have pecured qaite a number of the best animals 

 though the stock is pretty well distributed.

Cblcago Market--Sept> 2. 



There is a declining tendency in wheat, but prices for the 

 most part are unsettled; sales of spring have been made dur- 

 ing the day at prices between 95c and $1 per bu. Bed and 

 white winter is probably worth 1 05 for red, and 1 20 for 

 white. 



Corn is unsettled, and it is difficult to give reliable quota- 

 tions; some sales took place at 70c, which is perhaps about 

 the ruling rate. 



Warehousemen are buying up all the oats they can find, at 

 28 cents, but there are few in market, and farmers generally 

 prefer to keep them at home till they can get a propbr prico 

 for them; and in t'lis they are perfectly right. Oats are fiiirly 

 worth 37o per bu and should not be sold for less. 



Large anantities of potatoes are coming in and they sell at 

 from 35 to 40 cents per bushel.
