Market Review, Weather Notes, etc. 
American Agriculturist Office. ) 
New-York, Friday Morning, Dec. 20, 1861. ) 
*„* Tlie materials for this review are furnished specially for 
the Agriculturist by a reliable.man of long experience, 
who, throughout the year, spends the whole of each day 
in the markets, watching the transactions and collecting 
information, and we flatter ourselves that this report is 
one of the most correct anywhere published. 
It will be seen by our condensed tables below, that the 
transactions in Breadstuff's in this market have fallen off, 
as compared with the previous month. This was,of course, 
to be expected, as the canals have been closed about half 
of the month previous to this date, and the receipts have 
necessarily been restricted. But in the second table we 
reduce 
which s 
3 has 
nucli larger in volume, than during a corresponding 
receipts of flour, corn, rye, and oats, and in the sales of 
flour, wheat, corn and rye. Of Barley the receipts have 
been heavier, but the sales much less. The sales of 
breadstuff's have been restricted, not only by a want of 
supplies, but especially by the high rates of freights to 
„ , ind recently by the 
mt in England. It has been a matter of surprise 
■---j--.<1 ; nt |j e pl . es . 
we shall look for a sharp upward turn of the market, 
owing to a positive and certain large demand, which can 
not be met witli adequate supplies until spring navigation 
opens. So entirely convinced are the leading dealers in 
breadstuff's that we shall have only a diplomatic contest 
with England, that they hold stocks firmly .... There 
are 'few changes in the prices of the various ar¬ 
ticles of Trade. Cotton has advanced rapidly, owing to 
the very limited supply, and an active speculative de¬ 
mand— Wool has advanced 2 to 3 cents per lb. on some 
grades, with a good demand still prevailing — Pork has 
declined under the influence of the large receipts of live 
hogs at the market as noted below — There has been a 
fair demand and steady businesss in provisions, tobacco, 
hay, hops, naval stores, etc. The table below shows 
what changes have occurred in prices.

N. 'ST. Livestock: Markets.— The Cattle Mar¬ 
kets have not been so over crowded with animals of late 
as previously. The receipts for the past 5 weeks have 
averaged 4,217 per week, or near 1,000 less than last 
month. Prices have gradually advanced nearly lc. per 
lb. above last month’s quotations. At the market of Dec. 
18 there were many extra fat, or premium bullocks of¬ 
fered for “ Christmas beef ” which sold at 9c.®10c. per 
lb., estimated dressed weight. Good beeves, 8c.®9c.; 
ordinary 7c.®7}£c.; and poor 5c.(a)7c. Average of all 
lies 8c. and everything sold off clef 
Veal Calves.— Receipts for the past 5 weeks numbei 
2,809, or 562 per week, varying but little in supply oi 
prices from tl - !J - - - - - 
,. . ..-ninth. Good _ _ 
5c.@5ic. per ib. live weight. A mammoth calf, 8 months 
old, weighing 8X0 lbs. sold for $40, last Tuesday. 
Sheep and Lambs— Receipts have fallen off largely, the 
average for the past five weeks being 11,143 per week. 
They have advanced materially in price, good fat sheep 
selling at 4c.'ci4Xc. per lb. live weight—a few “Christ- 
mas Sheep,” of over 200 lbs. live weight, sold at $15 to 
$20 each. Stock is scarce just now. 
Live Hogs—Immense Receipts.— The receipts have 
heen enormous—far exceeding anything before known 
*ipts for 5 weeks have been 
in this market. The total l- 1 - - 
170,614, or34,123 per week, while the receipts for all 
of last year- ‘" n ~~ ~ ~~-“ — 
•e only 319,620, o 
week. The greatest receipts for any one week in 1860 
were 15,180 ; the receipts for this week were 38,200. This 
influx to the market, is due to the embargo of the Mis¬ 
sissippi, a usual outlet to Western fork, and to the dis 
turtied condition of the slaughtering towns along the Ohio 
and upper Mississippi.—The slaughter houses of this 
City were, for a time, unprepared for receiving so many, 
but they are now able to dispose of all that come. Prices 
have continued to rule low, but are improving a little 
now. The selling rates this week are for corn-fed hogs 
3*c.®3%c. per lb. live weight. Still-fed 3c. 
THe Weather, has continued remarkably mild for 
a Winter month, with very little rain and only two light 
snows which disappeared with a few hours of sunshine

PREMIUM LIST, 
For 1 §©•§---Tol. XXI. 
Or Pay to Voluntary Agents who will attend to collect¬ 
ing names of new and old subscribers to the Agri¬ 
culturist, and forwarding them to the Office. 
(See List on next page.) 
Experience has proved that it is a benefit to the sub¬ 
scribers themselves, as well as to the Publisher, to have 
an Agent, at every Post Office, to attend to collecting the 
names and subscriptions of old subscribers, and to pre¬ 
sent the advantages of the paper to those not yet acquaint¬ 
ed with it. But to employ and commission a Special 
Agent in every neighborhood throughout the country, is 
out of the question. We therefore offer certain good ar¬ 
ticles, the value proportioned to the number of names 
sent in, and leave them open to every person disposed to 
attend to the business, in the locality where he or she 
may be known to be reliable. By giving the articles offer¬ 
ed we can make the pay much larger than if in money, 
because we have facilities for getting these articles at a 
low rate. Besides, the advertising thus given to the man¬ 
ufacturers, induces them to bear a considerable portion 
of the expense on the articles we need for premiums. 
£5|pTn selecting articles for premiums, we have aimed 
to get such as are useful, and as have been most fre¬ 
quently called for by our readers. ®=We wish it 
distinctly UNDERSTOOD that these premiums are offer-

by the publisher from the very best manufactured. They

U37” AVe offer nothing for competition. Each premium is 
ation will depend upon what other unknown persons are do¬ 
ing. Every one aiming for a premium, knows just what he 
or she is working for; and also that if a higher premium i« 
not secured, a lower one can be taken. 
HSyOnly one premium can be paid on the same subscriber 
ZST We make no distinction between new and old subscrl 
bers, but it is expected that every canvasser will not only
