AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, 
[August, 
complaints 'from some portions of the countiy of injuiy 
to the new Spring-and White Wheat from the fly and lust, 
but this is sectional. The crop is late, and therefore, in 
’more-danger than in ordinary seasons; still theie is a 
mrospect of an average yield, if not ot an abundant har¬ 
dest. Much of the Corn coming to market is unsound, 
.heated, or damp, altogether unfit to ship, which retards 
ithe filling of export orders greatly. The Rye that is ar¬ 
riving 'from the West, and from Canada, is very poor, and 
1baddy cleaned, so that it does not bring any thing like as 
r.high prices as that from the State of New-York ; the dif¬ 
ference being about 20 cts. per bushel, especially on 
To the Continent .

Western Rye. Barley is out of season, and not sought 
after, even by brewers. Oats are plenty and are now 
coming into more request.... The stock of Cotton has been 
reduced to about 25,000 bales, and prices have advanced, 
out, at the close, business was restricted, the demand be¬ 
ing mainly from spinners... .There has been a very brisk 
export inquiry for Domestic Tobacco at buoyant rates; 
stocks are now very light....Rice, Seeds, and Hemp, 
have been less active, but firm... .Hay, has been mainly 
inquired for by local buyers, and for city use, and has 
ruled low, as there is an abundant new crop.Hops 
have been in good request at firmer rates.Wool has 
been dull and unsettled, in this market. In the interioi, 
buyers are governed now by surrounding gloomy pros¬ 
pects of the manufacturing interest, rather than by theories

Veal Calves. —Receipts are falling off, as the season 
advances, although the market was overstocked at the 
last sales day. Receipts average 901 per week for the 
past 5 weeks. Prices are lower than last month, nothing 
bringing over 44c. per lb. live weight, and very good veals 
selling for 4c. and so down to 3e. for common calves. 
Most of the stock sold at 3Xc.<®4c. which is lower than 
we remember to have previously reported it. 
Sheep and Lambs. —These are coming in freely, the 
weekly average for 5 weeks past being 10,919, while 12,- 
300 were on sale at the last market. Prices are low and 
trade generally dull. July 17th, sheep brought prices 
equivalent to 3Xc.(®3Xc. per lb. live weight for good 
sheep—a few extra fat ones 4c—and 3c. for thin common 
stock. Per head they ranged from $1.50 to $4. Lambs 
sold at 5Xc.®64c. per lb. or $2®$4 each. 
Live Hogs. —Receipts about as last month with a light¬ 
er demand, so that prices have gone down materially. 
Hogs sold lower July 9th, than we had ever seen them 
previously, good com fed hogs bringing but 3Xc.®3Xc. 
At last market they advanced near ic. Com hogs selling 
at 3%c®4c. and still fed at 3c.®3R live weight. Weekly 
average for the past 5 weeks, 5,373. 
Tlie Weather. Since our last report,there has been 
a decided change for the better. Instead of the cold, wet 
and backward weather then reported, we have had a hot, 
comparatively dry “spell,” and the various unharvested 
crops are in a good degree of forwardness. We have sel¬ 
dom had finer weather for securing hay and grain, than 
the first two weeks of July, and corn has made a rapid 
growth, and promises a fair yield, save in localities where 
the Army worm or other insects have been troublesome.
