Remarks. —Very little change has been made since our last 
in prices. The farmers are so well able to hold their produce 
that it is not pressed upon the market, and the consequence is, 
that the recent continued fall in grain and provisions in Europe 
has had little effect on our market. 
Money continues plenty and business good. 
The Weather. Early frosts have set in this month, about the 
latitude of 42° and above, and have done considerable injury to 
the corn, and some other products. Potatoes are suffering a good 
deal in various quarters from the rot. Our late advices from the 
South, especially in Mississippi, speak of the alarming appear¬ 
ance of the cotton worm in large numbers. It is feared its effects 
may again be disastrous ; though in consequence of the lateness 
of the season, it cannot commit, anything like the injury it did 
last year. All other Southern crops promise well. 
Acknowledgments. —Premium List of the Queen’s County 
Agricultural Society at its Sixth Annual Exhibition, to be held at 
Hempstead, L. I., October 8th ; Catalogue of Selected Roses, cul¬ 
tivated and for sale at the Commercial Garden and Nursery of 
Parsons & Co., of Flushing. Long Island ; also, samples of Brown 
Corn from J. H. WoOlsey ? Dr. Id. A. Field, and others. 
To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from Solon Robinson, A New Yorker, E. S., and Dr. H. A. Field. 
H. of Vicksburg, is informed that boiling salt-water offers the 
best means of driving ants out of his strawberry-beds. It would 
be better to find theif dens and pour hot water in there. Spirits 
of turpentine will drive them away, but it is feared that it would 
render the ground permanently unfit for the plants to grow in. 
For destroying ants indwellings, &e., see p. 36, of the current 
volume.
