Remarks. —The news from Europe in the early part of the 
month gave an important rise in the grain and provision market, 
and though this was counteracted somewhat by the more recent 
advices by the Cambria, we still quote many articles in advance 
of last month’s prices. Among these are Quercitron Bark, Beans, 
Peas, Rye Flour, Wheat, Rye, Barley, Oats, Russia Hemp, Hides, 
Corn Meal, Oils, Provisions, Lard, Clover and Timothy Seed. 
Cotton and Tar have fallen. 
The accounts from Europe continue deplorable. The scarcity 
of grain and provisions there is very great. We have no 
reason to suppose there will be any considerable reduction in our 
market till canal and lake navigation opens. 
Money is tolerably abundant. Upwards of ten millions of 
specie have arrived in the United States within the three past 
months. 
The Weather .—We have had deep falls of snow the latter part 
of February, which we consider highly favorable. Late snows 
warm and enrich the earth, and are usually the precursors of 
abundant harvests and a good fruit season. 
To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from Wm. Bacon, George W. Phipps, E. S., T. B. Miner, and R. 
L. Allen. 
Acknowledgments. —Proceedings of the National Conven¬ 
tions of Farmers, Gardeners, and Silk Culturists,^eld in connex¬ 
ion with the 19th Annual Fair of the American Institute ; List 
of Premiums awarded by the Managers of the 19th Annual Fair 
of the American Institute ; First Annual Report of the Ohio 
State Board of Agriculture; The Enquirer, containing Ten Lec¬ 
tures on the Use of Intoxicating Liquors, by Rev. Dr. Nott, Pre> 
sident of Union College. 
ISABELLA GRAPES 
OF proper age for forming vineyards, propagated from and con¬ 
taining all the good qualities which the most improved cultiva¬ 
tion for over ten years has conferred on the vineyards at Croton 
Point, are now offered to the public. Those who may purchase 
will receive such instructions as will enable them to cultivate 
the Grape with entire success (provided their location is not too 
far north.') All communications, post-paid, addressed to R. T. 
UNDERHILL, M.D., 326 Broadway, New York, will receive at¬ 
tention. He feels quite confident that he has so far meliorated 
the character and habits of the Grape-Vines in his vineyards and 
nurseries, by improved cultivation, pruning, &c., that they will 
generally ripen well and produce good fruit when planted in most 
of the northern, and all the western, middle, and southern states.
