AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
o 
n. 
continuance of the present prices is not 
looked for by dealers, is evident from the 
fact, that contracts have been made this week 
for fair Southern Ohio Flour, deliverable in 
October, at $7 75, and for good New-York 
State brands, deliverable in September and 
October, at $7 25. The prospect of the in¬ 
coming wheat crop still continues good, 
though with a rather increased sprinkling of 
unfavorable reports of injuries from the fly 
and weevil. An intelligent correspondent, 
living 32 miles north-west of Cincinnati, in 
Oxford Co., Ohio, writes July 3d: “The 
grain harvest has just commenced here— 
wheat crop light from injury last winter ; but 
except in this vicinity it is very good all ov, " 
the west. The worst reports are from our 
correspondents in western New-York, but 
these apply, thus far, to isolated localities 
only. The crop is now safe in the Southern 
and Middle States, and in the greater por¬ 
tion of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, and there is 
a certainty of much more than the average 
yield. We hope in a few days to give the 
same report of New-York,Michigan, Wiscon¬ 
sin, Iowa, and Canada. But there is proba¬ 
bly less old grain now in the country than 
there has been at the same season for many 
years past. This, with the prospective for¬ 
eign demand, will prevent as low prices as 
have been current in some former years, 
when the yield has been equally great. 
Corn has improved upon last week’s quo¬ 
tations several cents per bushel. Oats are 
unchanged, there having been a decline which 
is nearly recovered. 
Cotton fell off largely on the receipt of 
the Amerca’s News, but it has partially re¬ 
covered, and now stands from £c. to ^c. low¬ 
er than per our last. 
The Weather has been in marked contrast 
with the previous week. We have not had 
a hot day during the past week. There have 
been frequent showers, but they have not 
been succeeded by the hot, sultry weather so 
productive of rust to the wheat crop. Every 
variety of summer vegetables and fruits, are 
growing with great luxuriance. 
PRODUCE MARKET, 
Tuesday, July 10, 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 weather to-day is quite cool, and the 
market good. Potatoes are less plentiful just now, the 
farmers being employed in haying. White Turnips are 
-flat. Cherries are abundant and pass off slowly, The 
market is well supplied with Raspberries, some very fine, 
especially the Antwerps. A few Pears are in market 
from Norfolk, Va., and bring $5 p bbl. The warm 
weather has filled the market with “ Green Cheese,” 
which, once got out of the boxes, is not easily got in 
again. Butter a^d Eggs, the same.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Wednesday July 11, 1855. 
The total supply of cattle for the week is 
nearly 3,000. At Allerton’s we find 2,116, which is an in¬ 
crease over last week of about 300. The prices to-day 
rule pretty much the same as last week, with livelier 
sales. It is not likely that the market will run much 
higher this season. Speculators appear to be quiet at 
present, having probably been burnt enough for once to 
dread the fire. 
The quality of the cattle is rather ordinary, affording 
good specimens of both extremes. All will doubtless find 
sale before night.
