Remarks. —July 28th.—But little change has occurred since our 
last. The receipts of flour have not been large, but in anticipation 
of the large crops soon to be brought into market, the holders are 
not quite as firm. A slight demand has occurred for shipments. 
Without a large and steady export, prices must soon recede mate¬ 
rially. Small parcels of fresh southern flour, choice brands, have 
broughi 7 dollars. Corn is quite plenty, and prices have gone 
down. 
Pork has slightly advanced—first quality of Mess is held firmly 
at 8 dollars, and Bacon and Lard is rather higher. 
Butter and Cheese are plenty, and prices declining. 
The Crops of Grain and Grass have been gathered throughout a 
large portion of the country, and almost everywhere good and sub¬ 
stantial. The Wheat has been slightly affected with rust in some 
places, but though we can learn of no section where the crops 
have been essentially diminished by this cause, we hear almost ev¬ 
ery where of greatly increused production. 
Cattle Markkkt. —800 Cattle in market, including what were 
t«ft over last week, of which $5 50 to 6 dols. was the general range, 
but choice went above and inferior below these prices. 2500 
Sheep and Lambs, of which 200 were left over. Sheep, 1,50 cts. 
to 4 dols.; Lambs from 1 dollar to 1 dollar 75 cents ; 50 Cows and 
Calves all sold at 20 to 30 dols.; Veala 2 to 8 dollars each J Hogs, 
3 dollars to 3 dollars and a half, live weight.

Important Sale to Agriculturists. 
IMPROVED SHORT HORN DURHAM CATTLE 
On Thursday, the 8th September, 
At 10 o’clock, will be sold at public sale, at the Exhibition 
ground of the Philadelphia Agricultuaal Society, Rising Sun, on 
the Germantown Road, 3 miles from the city, a choice selection of 
splendid DURHAM DAIRY STOCK, from the herd of James 
Gowen, Esq., of Mount Airy, consisting of imported Cows, young 
Bulls and Calves, from Dairy Maid, Pochontas, Victoria, etc., and 
by the celebrated bulls Colostra, Prince of Wales, and Leander. 
This sale will afford to breeders an opportunity of adding te 
their stocks thorough bred animals of high character and purr 
blood, and their diffusion into proper hands is a primary object ir. 
this sale, together with the necessity of a separation of the herd to 
prevent over close breeding. 
Catalogues will be ready in due time, and the cattle may be 
examined at the Exhibition ground two days previous to the sale.
