Letters just received from our correspond¬ 
ents tell large and even amusing stories of 
the growth of Wheat, and especially of Corn. 
One from Southern New-Jersey says, “the 
crops here are coming up finely, corn has 
grown twice as much in a week past as in 
any two previous weeks.” Another from 
Connecticut says, “ he has enjoyed his 
‘nooning’ in watching the corn shoot up¬ 
ward and outwards.” Another from Ohio 
says, “ with a few days of such growth we 
shall need ladders to climb up to the ears ;” 
while still another inquires where he can 
order a supply ot axes with which to chop 
down the corn-stalks by-and by. 
PRODUCE MARKET. 
Monday Julv 2, 1855. 
The prices given m our reports from, week to week y are the 
average wholesale prices obtained by producers y and not t.host 
at which product is sold from the market. The variations n» 
prices refer chiefly to the quality of the articles. 
The weather of late has been exceedingly 
warm, though the market is prettv fair. Old Potatoes are 
nearly done for the season, and consequently we have 
struck them off the list. New Potatoes have just begun 
to come in from Long Island and New-Jersey. Bermu¬ 
das are very plentiful. A cargo of 3,000 barrels is soon 
expected, though it is feared they will be badly injured 
by the warm weather. 200 bbls. Mercers came in th.s 
morning from Norfolk, Va. String Onions begin to come 
from Connecticut. 
Strawberries and Cherries are nearly done, except in 
the latter case, the old fashioned red cherries. Goose¬ 
berries are abundant and flat. Raspbarries will be plenti¬ 
ful the latter part of the week. 
Butter is down, and the market full. The influence of 
the weather is very soft. ning. Eggs and Cheese, a little 
down.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Tuesday, July 3, 1855. 
The Weather to-day is much more agree¬ 
able than it has been for a few days past, being cooler and 
less oppressive. We find in market a little over 1,800 cat¬ 
tle, which is about 250 more than last week All the ani¬ 
mals which have been left over and kept back in the coun¬ 
try for a week or two past were pushed into market to-day ; 
otherwise the supply would have been very light, since 
western men just now are very much afraid of the market. 
We have to report, however, for their encouragement, a 
slight advance in the market, yet not enough to make the 
bu-iness very lucrative. The best cattle went as high as 
J2c.; and very few sold below 10c., from which it may be 
seen that the quality was very even. Indeed we have 
rarely seen a better run ofcattle in the Washington Yards. 
We saw some excellent beeves from Indiana, much 
better than one might expect, after having cotne so great 
a distance, and in such w ,rm weather The market last 
week wound up better than in the morning, and to-day 
we think it will fully sustain itself. 
The following are about the highest and lowest prices

The average pree is about $350. Sheep bring from $1 to 
$8 50 ^ head, and lambs from $lto$fi. The quality o 
mutton is very common, though some fine sheep wer< 
•-old at Browning’s. Butchers are holding off a litt/e, ex¬ 
pecting prices to be lower. The western States are well 
supplied.

P RATT & BROTHERS, 
MANUFACTURERS OF DITCH DIGGERS, TILE 
AND BRICK MACHINES, 
Canandaigua, N. Y 
THE MOST USEFUL AND PERFECT 
MACHINES KNOWN 
They are in use by many persons, and proving themselves ca¬ 
pable of vastly cheapening and extending drainage. 
The Tile machine is gaining a reputation beyond any prece¬ 
dent, for the following reasons: 
1st.—Because it is the only Tile and Brick machine known, 
enabling brick-makers to make Tiles and tile-makers to make 
Bricks, with one and the same machine. 
2d.—As a Tile machine it challenges competition in compact¬ 
ness, simplicity, completeness and economy. It will make 
Tiles at about one-half the cost of the machines in general 
use. 
3d.—As a Brick machine, it produces a quality superior in 
density and perfection to every thing but the best pressed hrioks, 
and at a cost less than the cheapest common brick. 
4th.—This machine is equally applicable to the use of Horse, 
Steam, or Water Power, without clap-trap, detention, or fault, 
and requires manual labor only to supply the clay and remove 
the tiles and brick as fast as made 
The Digger will cut 100 rods of ditch, from 2 to 3 feet deep, 
as easy as the same team in the same soil will p’oiv U 3 to 2
