the fly and joint-worm. Some fields have been 
plowed for other crops. 
Wheat looks well in Delaware. 
In New-England crops of all kinds are prom¬ 
ising. 
In the West fruit promises an abundance. 
The Journal of Commerce learns that the 
growing crops in Texas were never in a more 
flourishing condition at this season of the year. 
Throughout the most of New-York State, 
crops are reported to look well, especially fall 
grain; but in some localities wheat has been in¬ 
jured by the spring frosts and rains. All spring 
crops have been retarded by the unfavorable 
weather.

Remarks. —Flour is from 87-J- cts. to $1 dearer 
than per our last. Corn little change. Pork 
continues to decline, while Beef has an upward 
tendency. Lard and Butter are active. Cheese 
dull. Wool, little doing, except in the foreign 
varieties. 
Cotton has fallen J to -J- ct., per lb. Sugar a 
slight improvemont. Rice and Tobacco no 
change. 
The Weather for the week past has been hot 
and dry, and consequently very favorable for 
getting in the remaining crops, and weeding 
those already up. We advise the farmers over 
again, to sow plenty of corn in drills about a 
foot or more apart, for soiling their cattle in case 
of a drouth. Every farmer to be safe should 
thus provide at least two or three months’ food 
for his stock. Grass looks well, and a good hay 
crop is anticipated; but it is want of pasture in 
August, September, and October which we fear. 
In case of this being short during these months, 
corn-growing for fodder will supply the want.

PRODUCE MARKET. 
Saturday, June 3, 1854. 
Old potatoes are somewhat scarce, and higher. New 
ones are more abundant and cheaper. They appear to be 
of good quality. Gooseberries have been in the market four 
or five days. Strawberries, from Shrewsbury, N. J., are 
coming in plentifully. We saw none from the South, 
though it is probable there are some. Cauliflowers and cu¬ 
cumbers have made their appearance from Long Island. 
Turnips, onions, carrots, and parsnips are about the same 
as last week.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Monday, June 5,1854. 
The day is very warm, and tends to check rapid sales. 
The news of a high market has drawn more cattle in for 
the week past. This, in connection with the weather, and 
the butchers’ determination to do with less meat, has les¬ 
sened the price full $1 per cwt. Still, beef is high. The 
butchers say, that at least §1 per cwt. should be added to 
the drover’s estimates to get the market passible to the true 
price. We give the mean between the two. 
There were some very fine cattle in market to-day, espe¬ 
cially two lots from Rentucky, one of which was nearly 
thorough-bred Durhams, fed by Frank P. Clay. 
Beef is worth from 10%@12% cts. per pound.
