[The premiums below are offered for subscribers to Vol¬ 
ume XIX of the American Agriculturist whenever re¬ 
ceived. Those having partial lists made up can complete 
nem, and other new lists cun still be formed.] 
IV, S5. These premiums are not offered for competition, 
but as direct pay for time, labor, and expense incurred by 
canvassers. Tlte premiums are absolute in each case , and 
not dependent upon what some unknown person is doing. 
Every canvasser knows just what he or she is working for. 
REMARKS.— The premiums below, except No. IV, 
are all for NEW subscribers only, as we can only afford 
to pay premiums for once on the same subscriber. But 
puffin making up any premium lists, two renewals of old 
subscriptions , collected and forwarded by the canvasser , may 
always be counted as one new name. yggS&Names need not 
all be at the same Post Office. 
Every person collecting names for premiums, can 
send in the names with the money as fast as received, so 
that the subscribers may begin to receive their papers ; 
but if designed for premiums, a double list of eaeli lot of 
names should be sent, one of them marked at the top, 
“ For premiums,” and with the name of the sender. 
Any premium will be paid as soon as the list for it is 
completed, if we have tiie duplicate iists to refer to. 
Premium III.—Every person sending in a club of 10 
new subscribers at 80 cents each, may order a free copy 
of either Vol. XVf, or Vol. XVII, or Vol. XVIII, which

bers at 80 cents each, (or 100 at $1 each), will be present¬ 
ed with one of Wheeler & Wilson’s best SoO Sewing) 
Machines, new from the factory, and of the very best 
make. There is no better family machine than this 
made, as we have proved by nearly two years’ use in our 
own family. We want no better.—The machines will be 
selected at ihe manufactory, be well boxed, and forward¬ 
ed without expense to the recipient, except for freight 
charges after leaving the city. Full instructions for set¬ 
ting up and using, go with each machine. 
Premium XII.—To every person sending 130 new sub¬ 
scribers at 80 cents each, (or 05 at $ I each), we will pre¬ 
sent Appleton’s New American Encyclopaedia , now in 
course of publication, consisting of fifteen large volumes 
of 770 pages eacii. This is a magnificent work, forming a

ledge. Eight volumes are now ready, and the remaining 
seven will be furnished as fast as issued. Price, $45.

scribers at $1 each, or 330 at the lowest club price (80 cts.

of the best we have seen in operation. Price $115. Oth¬ 
er kinds of Machines of the same price, will be substi¬ 
tuted, when specially desired, if satisfactory arrange¬ 
ments can be made with tiie manufacturers. " _ 
Premium XIV.—To every person sending 65 new sub¬

racy and convenience of Kendall’s new and improved 
Portable or Aneroid Barometer, we propose one of those 
instruments as a premium to any person collecting and 
sending in 66 subscribers to the American Agriculturist, 
at the lowest club price, 80 cents each, or 33 subscribers 
at $1 each. These baromelers in form resemble a large 
watch, or small round clock, with the varying pressure 
of tile atmosphere indicated by an index upon adial plate. 
Each instrument is packed in a neat leather case, and 
caii be carried about readily, and be hung up wherever 
desired. They are just as accurate as the long, inconve¬ 
nient mercurial barometer, and every way a more desir¬ 
able instrument for common use in predicting changes in 
the weather, marking the flight of a place above the level 
of the sea, etc. —Price $ 10.

New York, Saturday Morning, May 19, 1S60. \ 
The receipts of the principal kinds of Breadstuff's have 
increased materially since the general resumption of 
canal, river, and lake navigation. Receivers have been 
offering their supplies freely. The demand, though fair, 
has not been equal to the ability of holders to meet it. 
Most factors have been eager to sell, while buyers have 
been somewhat cautious in purchasing. Prices have de¬ 
clined materially, and a further reduction is anticipated. 
Stocks of Flour are now ample. The inquiry is mainly 
for lots wanted by the regular home trade. There is also 
some demand for shipment and ori speculation. Early in 
the month, the foreign advices were favorable to export 
operations. The latest accounts from England have been 
less encouraging. Under these circumstances, the mark¬ 
et closes heavily, with a downward tendency_Wheat 
is abundant and obtainable on easier terms. Buyers, 
however, are now moving with reserve, as they expect 
to obtain some further concessions from holders. The 
main inquiry is for Milwaukee Club, and Chicago 
Spring. These varieties are sought after by local millers, 
as well as by shippers. The advance in rates of freight 
to British ports has tended to restrict export movements. 
Corn is unusually plenty, and is decidedly heavy, prices 
leaning strongly in favor of buyers. At the reduced 
rates, sound lots have been in more request, in .part for 
the East, and for shipment to England. The receipts 
are mainly composed of mixed Western_Rye is scare 
and is inquired for. It is quoted higher_Barley has 
been freely offered and has been depressed. The demand 
has been moderate — Oats have been unsettled. Tow¬ 
ard the close, with liberal arrivals and a moderate in¬ 
quiry, prices tended downwards....Oatmeal has been 
briskly sought after, chiefly for export, arid buyers have 
purchased considerable lots, at $4 75(a)$5 per lb.Cot¬ 
ton has been in moderate request, mainly for domestic 
spinning, at our revised quotations. The present crop is 
expected to yield as much as 4,600,000 bales. The pros¬ 
pects of the new crop are beginning to be carefully hatch¬ 
ed. The fact of a yield of four and a half millions being 
taken from our markets at a remarkably uniform high 
range of prices, indicates an expansion of the Colton 
trade that gives increased interest to the prospect of next 
year’s supply. After the rapid increase of the present 
crop over all previous years, there is already a tendency 
developing to expect a proportionate increase in the next 
yield. Planters will doubtless endeavor to extend the 
area of such profitable culture ; but the present season

shows that it is probably more profitable to produce the 
clean, desirable grades, than llie low, sandy ruobish now 
so abundant in all markets. It is yet too early to form 
speculations on the subject, and for the present it is suffi¬ 
cient to know that on the whole the new growth com¬ 
mences favorably, although it must be mentioned that 
complaints of injury from frost, drouth, etc., are not un- 
frequent.Hay has been less abundant, and with a 
good demand it has increased in value_Hops, Rice, 
and Tobacco have been moderately sought after at uni¬ 
form rates-More activity has been discernable in Pro¬ 
visions, Naval Stores, and Whisky_The transactions 
in Hemp and Wool have been limited. Prices of the 
latter have favored purchasers.... Other descriptions of 
Produce have been lightly dealt in.
