American Agriculturist Office, ) 
New-York, July 23,1858. j 
The Wholesale Produce Markets, since the date of our 
last review, have become decidedly firmerforthe leading 
kinds of Breadstufls. These have arrived less freely, es¬ 
pecially during the past week, owing, in part, to a break 
in the Erie Canal, halfamile West of Schenectady, which 
would require some days to repair. The late advices 
from the interior, particularly from the Northwest, in 
reference to the extensive injuries sustained by the wheat 
and other crops, from insects, rust and blight, have tend¬ 
ed to make receivers withhold their supplies, in anticipa¬ 
tion of higher prices. The favorable market news from 
Europe has also tended to increase the firmness ofsellers. 
The demand has been very good, for home use, and for 
export. 'Piesh ground flour has been sparingly offered, 
as have likewise ground lots of wheat and corn. The re¬ 
ceipts, as well as the available supplies, of wheat and corn, 
consisted, for the most part, of unsound and inferior par¬ 
cels. Really sound and desirable lots have been very dif¬ 
ficult to procure. These circumstances have had the ef¬ 
fect of restricting business. The rise in freights, (to 2s.® 
2s.lid. on flour, and 7d. on grain, for Liverpool) has also 
-becked operations. The annexed list of prices shows 
general improvement in the value of the principal kinds 
-i Breadstufls, as compared with the rates'eurrent on 
une 23. Flour, Wheat and Corn, moreover, corilinueto 
Ivor sellers, and should it ultimately appear that crops 
nave been as seriously damaged, as is now reported, it is 
quite probable that holders will be enabled to get 
even better prices. Atpresent.it is undoubtedly true, 
that the crop accounts are gloomy enough, so far as small 
grain is concerned. A panic evidently prevails upon ihe 
subject throughout the country. We have no doubt 
that immense damage has been done to wheat and oats, 
that many fields which promised well a few weeks ago 
will not be worth the harvesting, and that others will not 
give half of an average yield; still wethinkthat the resut, 
taking the country as a whole, the crops wilt be belter 
than the majority of people now anticipate. We have 
passed through such panics before, and this has been our 
invariable experience it ought to be understood that a 
part of the newspaper rumors of “tremendous losses of 
crops,” are actually manufactured by unscrupulous per¬ 
sons who have old stock on hand which they wish to 
raise the priee of_Cotton has been more sought 
after and prices have advanced. Our available supply is 
6l,706bales, against 40,926 bales same period last year. 
The receipts at all the shipping ports, to latest dates this 
season, have been 3,030,120 bales, against 2,886,917 bales 
to the corresponding period ot last season. The 'otal ex¬ 
ports from the United States so far this season have been 
2,482,054 bales, against. 2.191,332 balesto the same date 
last season. The total stock on hand and shipboard in all 
the shipping ports, at the latest dates, was 189,992 bales, 
against 118,245 bales at the same time last year. The 
stock in the interior towns at the latest dates was 35,303 
bales, against 23,317 bales at thecorresponding date ayear 
ago_Provisions have been in good demand, at strength¬ 
ening rates, with reduced supplies available.... Hay and 
Hops have been freely offered and purchased at unchanged 
figures. The new hay now coming in, arrives in very good 
condition, and sells, for city use, for as much as old hay. 
This is rarely the case on the first appearance of new in 
our markets. Old hay is, of course, almost exclusively 
what shippers buy. They do not like to purchase new 
for shipment, so early, as they do not consider it a safe 
commodity to put on shipboard.. Hemp and Grass seeds 
have been very sparingly dealt in....Rice has been in 
active request, in part for export, at buoyant prices.... 
Wool has not been very brisk, in this market. Buyers 
have beeen generally engaged in purchasing supplies of 
the new clip in the interior, where from the active compe¬ 
tition that has been experienced, prices have advanced 
over the opening rates. The receipts, here, are now in¬ 
creasing steadily, and in the course of a month, a good 
supply is looked for. At present, the stock of domestic 
Wool in market is unusually light, and is quite stiffly 
held-Tobacco is quiet, yet steady_Other articles of 
produce have presented no noticeable variation from the 
previous month.
