It will be quite difHcult to Iccep the greenhouse 
cool during these hot days, unless a shading of 
some kind is used. A screen of thin muslin may 
be arranged upon the outside, or the glass white- 
■washed. Whitewash is the least trouble ; the 
fall rains will remove the greater part of the lime 
by the time more sun is needed. Sprinkling the 
walks and floor during the day will materially re- 
duce the temperature. Fumigate the plants with 
tobacco smoke once or twice a week to kill the 
"greeu-fly," and shut up the ventilators once a 
week and give the plants a thorough showering to 
destroy the red-spider ; this should be done late in 
the afternoon. Prepare soil and pots for use in the 
fall, and get everything needed in readiness for the 
winter. Where much sphagnum moss is used, this 
or next month is a good time to gather a stock, as 
the swamps are usually quite dry at this season.

With more liberal arrivals, and considerable pressure to 
realize on receipts promptly, Breadstntfs liave been 
depressed and generally quoted lower, leading to more 
activity in the dealings, which, in low grade Flour, Spring 
Wlieat, and mixed Western Corn, have been laigely on 
export account. Toward the close. Flour, Wheat, and 
Corn closed stronger, on less extensive offerings of snp- 
plicG for prompt and forward delivery, Rye, heavy and 
irregular. Oats, in less request, and tending downward. 
Barley, wholly nominal in the absence of stock. Barley 
M.alt wanted at full rates Provisions h.ave declined 
materially, and have been loss smight after. The specn- 
lativo business in Pork and Lard has been on a restrict- 
ed scale. ...Cotton has also bocu quoted cheaper, influ- 
enced by the unfavorable Liverpool advices, and Ihe more 
encouraging crop re))orls. Demand, fairly active, at the 
reduced figures, mainly for forward delivery. . . . Wool has 
been in less request, ami quoted weak (n price, under 
the increasing offering of ncsv clip... .Tob.icco has beou 
in fair demand, and held with firmness Hay and 
Straw, more salable at current quotations Hops, 
lower and dull Petroleum and Naval stores, less in- 
quired for at easier prices. . . .Seeds, neglected and almost 
nominal as to value Ocean freights decidedly firmer, 
with Grain, Flour,* and Provision room most wanted.

Beeves,— The past month has been a good time for 
sellers. Opening with light receipts, the market was ad- 
vanced Jc. on extra, and ^c. on the average, and although 
the advance was resisted by buyers, who held ofl' the next 
week and gained an advantage of Jc,, this was soon lost, 
and with a strong market the largest receipts for some 
time were moved off ata gain of Jc, which was held, fu 
the West the same active feeling 3va3 experienced as 
here, and the Live-Stock Reporter became jubilant over 
the improved demand and higher prices. One year ago 
No. 1 spring wheat was .30c. a bushel higher than now, 
and the average of the stock market then was Jc. per lb. 
lower than it is to-day. Graziers have thus the better of 
of the grain grower just now. As we close the market 
is active and firm, with sales of extra beeves at 1.3} @ 14c., 
to (h-ess 58 Ths. : good native steers at 11 @ I.'J^c. to dress 
56 to .58 lbs. Texans brought 7i@ lljc., on 54 to 50 lbs., 
and stockcrs, to dress 55 B)s., sold for !)c. per S>.

inilcli Co w^s, — The demand for cows has been light 
all through the month. Prices have been fair at from 
$50 to $.S0 on the average. One fine cow and calf brought 
$95. With a dull market, prices are steady with an av- 
erage of $55 to $70 for fair to choice, extra cows bring 
$90, calf included... Calves.— A fair business has been 
done in veals at uneven prices. The market has fallen 
off }c. one week to gain it back the next. At the close 
of our report prime veals were selling for 7c. @ Sc. ^
