Remarks, Oct. l.-~It will be seen by our quotations that a large 
reduction in the price of Wheat and Flour has been experienced 
since our last, as was then anticipated, and we know of no causes 
to carry prices above these depressed rates for the present. The 
tariff which has passed since our last went to press, has not been 
felt in any upward tendency of Agricultural products as yet, though 
it has not been without its effect in arresting the downward course 
of prices, and without it, it is impossible to say how far they would 
have receded with the immense supplies on band, and the non-con¬ 
sumers which would have been daily added to the army of produc¬ 
ers, from the ranks of the unemployed artisans and manufacturers. 
As these last, however, have been called back in great numbers to 
their former occupations, and the course of things will be the con¬ 
stant augmentation of the consuming classes, we may confidently 
anticipate ere long, a gradual approximation to the former satisfac¬ 
tory prices of agricultural products. There is but a limited demand 
from abroad for any portion of our surplus. No change of conse¬ 
quence has occurred in other articles than grain since our last. 
Cattle Market, Sept. 26.-1150 Cattle in market; 2500 Sheep 
and Lambs ; and 40 Cows and Calves. 
Prices were extremely low, $4 to $4,50 being the range for av¬ 
erage Beef ; though for choice animals the ratp occasionally went up 
to $6 Cowes and Calves sold from $20 to $25, sometimes as high 
as $38. Sheep ranged from $1,50 to $4,00 according to quality. 
Lambs from $1 to $2,75.

~ R- H- HENDRICKSON, ’ 
MIDDLETOWN, BUTLER COUNTY, OHIO, 
Is now prepared to fill orders for thorough bred Berkshire Pigs, 
from the late imported boars Windsor Castle and Earl Craven, and 
twenty choice sows purchased of A_B. Allen, a part of his recent 
importation. Pigs in pairs from this superior stock will be furnished 
substantially caged and delivered on the canal at Middletown, or on 
board steamboat at Cincinnati, from $30 to $50, according to age 
and quality. Orders accompanied with cash, will always secure 
the preference. 
ALSO—Pigs bred from the superb boar Kenilworth, of a stock of 
the largest and finest kinds of white hogs in England, also imported 
by Mr. Allen last October, crossed on the splendid large white Mi¬ 
ami hogs of this Country. The Miamis have been long noted for 
their large sizes. Animals of this breed have occasionally come 
up to the enormous weights of 1200 and 1400 lbs., and it is believed 
that the cross of Kenilworth on them, will easily attain the weights 
of 700 to 1000 lbs. at 18 months and two years old, if well fatted. 
Pigs of this cross $25 per pair, caged and delivered as above. Refer 
to the editors of this paper.
