in prices of many descriptions of merchandize. Almost 
every agricultural product is much cheaper than it was a 
month ago, and still tending downward. The demand, 
on the contrary, is not only without improvement, but, as 
a rule, has diminished materially. Until the prospect 
becomes more definite and encouraging, no positive 
change for the better in this respect, is hoped for by the 
leading receivers of produce. The foregoing table will 
show the present prices and the changes from last month. 
UT. V. Live StockMarkets- The Cattle 
markets were well supplied with animals for the first two 
weeks following the last report in the Agriculturist, and 
prices remained quite uniform ; then we had 5,304 beeves 
for a single week, and a decline of Jic. to 1c. per lb. was 
the result. At the last general market, July 13th and 14th 
the trade was very much interfered with by a mob organ- 
ized to resist the military draft but which soon degener- 
ated into a plundering riot, in the course of which Aller- 
ton's Hotel, the headquarters of cattle men at the prin- 
cipal place for sales, was stripped and then burned. This 
deranged business, and some of the cattle were scattered 
and a portion were sent away hastily to be offered again. 
Prices, for those sold out of 3,390 offered for the week 
were: Prime Bullocks llcfaJll^c. per lb. estimated net 
weight of the four quarters ; Fair to good cattle §%c.(a> 
lO.^c. ; Poor 7c.fS)9c. the average being about 10c, mak- 
ing a decline of %c. for the month. The average weekly 
receipts were 4,454. 
Vesil Calves. — Weekly receipts 1,190 and 
prices are %c. lower; the best calves selling for 7c. per 
lb., live weight and pretty good ones 6c ; Demand good. 
Sheep and B r.i ;nl>s. — The average receipts 
amount to 10,526 per week. They are %c lower than a 
month ago, and are coming forward quite as fast as want- 
ed, the numbers being largely in excess of last month's 
receipts. Good sheep are worth 5JaC.(S)5?4 per lb. live 
weight. Lambs bring 8c.fa>9c. 
Yjtve Hogs. — Receipts average 10,000 for the 
past four weeks, and the market continues quite uniform 
at rates last quoted, or 5Kc.(a>5>£c. for corn fed and \%c. 
fS'5c. for still fed hogs. 
The Weather — Has generally been favor- 
able for growing crops, during the past four weeks, though 
rather dry at first, and latterly too wet to give farmers a 
good opportunity to secure their grain. Our daily notes, 
condensed, read : June 20, cloudy, cool — 21, rain — 22 to 25 
clear, fine — 2G, light rain — 27 to 30, clear, warm, getting

"From several years' experience with it in our own family, 
from the testimony of hundreds who have used it, and from 
the construction of the implement itself.— we feel certain 
that it is worthy a place in every family where the washing 
is done at home. A child can readily wring out a tuhlul of 
Clothes in s few minutes. It is in reality A CLOTHES SAV- 
ES! A TIME SAVIOK ! and A STUENGTH SAVER! The 
saving ol garments will alone pay a large percentage on its 
cost. We think the machine much more inan PATS FOli 
ITSELF EVERY YEAH in the saving of garments! There 
are several kinds, nearly alike in general construction, but 
we consider it important that the. Wringer he fitted with 
Cogs, otherwise a mass of garments may clog the rollers, 
and the rollers upon the crankshaft slip and tear the 
clothes. Our own is one of the first made, and it is as GOOD 
AS NEW after nearly FOUR TEARS' CONSTANT USE."
