Remarks.— Flour has advanced the past week 
full 50 cents per bbl. on the average. Corn G 
cents per bushel. Provisions a trifle less. 
Cotton has fallen the past week from 4 to £ 
of a cent per lb., notwithstanding the fact of a 
deficiency of 400,000 bales compared with the 
previous year’s crop. This depression in the 
market is due to the war in Europe. Rice is 
firmer. Sugar and Tobacco no change. 
The weather continued rainy till the 4th inst., 
when it cleared off cold for the season. To-day 
(8th) it is warmer, but the ground is still very 
wet and cold, and the drier soils only fit for 
planting. 
Money continues as dear as ever, and as diffi¬ 
cult to be obtained. 
PRODUCE MARKETS. 
Wholesale prices of the more important Vegetables, 
Fruits, &c., at the principle New-York Markets. 
In our weekly reports we give the prices which producers 
actually get, and not the prices at which produce is sold 
from the market. 
Saturday, May 6, 1854. 
The price of Vegetables is about the same as last week’s 
report, but must fall off before long, for Potatoes especially. 
The heavy rains of last week prevented large quantities of 
produce from getting to market. Probably before this paper 
reaches our subscribers, the prices will be lower than 
we have to report them this week, as large quantities are 
expected by way of canal. There is but very little fruit in 
market at present, and of no extra quality.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Monday, May 8, 1854. 
The numbers in market to-day were considerably above 
last week’s report. The day was very pleasant, and the 
sales rather slow. Many of the butchers were determined 
not to pay the prices that cattle were held at, which was 
about the same as last week. The majority of the cattle in 
the yards were very good. There was one lot of 10 from 
Kentucky, owned by Alexander Rowan; 5 of them were 
raised by Henry Clay, and were very nice indeed. They 
were held at 14c. per lb., and the owner not being able to 
obtain that price, they were put back in the stable. 
Prices ranged from 9@12c. per pound.
