are doubtless exaggerated, but it is now 
safe to estimate the Wheat crop in all that 
region as certain for more than an ordinary 
yield. 
Corn was some higher at one time during 
the week, but has declined again, and now 
stands at about 3c. per bush, lower than at 
our last report. Oats are again in more act¬ 
ive request, and have advanced 8c. to 10c. 
per bush. This is probably but temporary. 
At 50a55c. they are in demand for export, 
and such a demand creates a transient rise, 
until the market is again over-stocked. 
Cotton has experienced another uniform 
decline of £ cent per lb. on all grades. 
Rice has a trifling advance. Tobacco no 
material change. 
We have abundant rains, and at frequent 
intervals, in this vicinity. The weather is 
somewhat cool with occasional days pretty 
warm, but we have as yet had no really hot 
weather. It is, however,” warm enough to 
push forward corn rapidly. The reports of 
the weather, and the state of the crops in 
different sections of the country—especially 
of the wheat crop—will be intensely inter¬ 
esting during the next two weeks. 
PRODUCE MARKET. 
Tuesday, June 26, 1855. 
The prices given in our reports from week to week, are the 
average wholesale prices obtained by producers, and not those 
at which produce is sold from the market. The variations in 
prices refer chiefly to the quality of the articles. 
The market is fairly supplied with Pota¬ 
toes, and the demand good. Old Potatoes are getting 
scarce. The market is quite overdone with green vegeta¬ 
bles, and the trade slow. Green peas are very abundant 
to-day, having fallen off 37c. p basket since yesterday. 
There are scarcely any old apples in market. We no¬ 
ticed a few new ones from the South, but did not learn 
the price. Strawberries come mostly from northern New- 
Jersey, being nearly done at Shrewsbury. Cherries are 
very plentiful. 
Butter, just at present, is very dull of sale. Eggs and 
Cheese the same.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Wednesday June 27, 1855. 
The supply of cattle to-day is about 500 
' short of last week. The weather is quite warm, in con¬ 
sequence of which the butchers are somewhat backward 
in their purchases. Besides, they hang resolutely for last 
week’s prices, but the short supply impels them to make 
a slight advance. Aside from this, we think there would 
be no material difference. 
The best cattle to-day are selling for 114c. The average 
rice is about 101c. Very few sell under 9c. or over 114c. 
The animals are mostly of good quality, and doubtless the 
prices will be sustained throughout the day. Last week 
they fell off very sensibly in the afternoon. 
Owing to new arrangements on some of the Railroads 
we learn that the facilities for transporting cattle are much 
improved. The new cars on the Michigan Central and 
Great Western Railroads are said to be very superior, 
and the route excellent. The cost of bringing cattle by 
this route from Illinois to Albany, is $10. 
Next week, it should be remembered, the market takes 
place on Tuseday. 
The following are about the highest and lowest prices:

The Sheep market is not quite as good as 
last week. There is a full supply on hand, both at Robin¬ 
son’s and Chamberlain’s. The sheep are average quality 
—but rather slow of sale. The average price is about $3 
50. The supplies come mostly from this State, New 
Jersey, and Ohio. The total supply for the week is abou 
12 , 000 .
