AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
lators or buyers of wheat—for we have no 
connection or interest with them—but for 
wheat raisers, whom we wish to aid in get¬ 
ting the highest prices possible, and this we 
think they can now do. However, we are 
this week having wet, sultry days, which 
may bring on the rust, and make a material 
difference in the gathered product of the 
great wheat regions farther north ; so that 
our more sanguine expectations of an un 
precedented crop over the whole wheat coun¬ 
try, may be somewhat lowered. While 
giving our leading impressions from the re 
ports already in, we would speak with all 
due caution. We should add that the most 
recent accounts from the Genesee country 
Michigan, &c., say that former reports of in¬ 
jury from weevil, &c., have proved to have 
been exagerated ; on the other hand, consid¬ 
erable grain cut in this vicinity, in conse¬ 
quence of the recent wet weather, has com 
menced growing in the shock, and will suffer 
.material injury. 
Corn has declined 2 to 3 cents per bushel. 
Oats are a little lower. Rye is considerably 
lower. 
Cotton is not much changed, the better 
grades we quote at a slight reduction. 
The Weather continued excessively hot— 
perhaps the hottest for the season during a 
number of years—until Friday, when cold 
rains set in, which continued daily till Mon¬ 
day evening. Tuesday morning it com¬ 
menced very sultry, with slight showers 
during the day. At night it rained very hard 
accompanied with vivid lightning and heavy 
thunder. To-day it is showery, the air 
close and sultry. This weather puts back 
haying in the northern counties. Corn and 
every thing else are growing with great ra¬ 
pidity. _ 
PRODUCE MARKET. 
Reported Exclusively for the American Agriculturist. 
Tuesday, July 24, 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 good to-day, while yester¬ 
day there was a scarcity of produce, and high prices. The 
supply of potatoes has been scant of late, farmers having 
been pretty much taken up with harvesting ; but now 
they begin to come in more plentifully. Potatoes which 
bring, to-day, from $2 25 to $2 75 ip bbl., brought yester¬ 
day $3®$3 25. All kinds of light produce passes off 
briskly. Onions from Connecticut are plentiful. The 
market is full of Whortleberries and Blackberries. Cher¬ 
ries are nearly out of season. Butter, Eggs, and Cheese, 
about, the same as last week.

NEW-YORK CATTLE MARKET. 
Reported Expressly for the American Agriculturist. 
Wednesday July 25, 1855. 
The total weekly supply of cattle at all the 
markets is 2,681, which is 458 less than last week, atAUer- 
ton s there are 1,647 to-day without including those left 
over from last week. 
The weather is warm and muggy, and consequently 
operates unfavorably on the market. The butchers were 
very backward in making purchases, since it is impossible 
to preserve meats any length of time this weather. The 
supply of cattle, though small, is much above the demand 
the sales were very slow this morning, and doubtless will 
be slower this afternoon. The prices do not vary much 
from last week ; at the same time, the run of cattle is 
much better, which added to the diminished supply, tends 
to keep them firm. 11 c. is the highest notch, and that 
with difficulty. 10 c. is a fair price for good retailing quali 
ty, while nearly all the sales fell within OJc. and 101 c. 
It will be seen that Ohio, is largely represented to-day 
which Mr. Allerton attributes to an emetic. Nearly two- 
thirds of the cattle were from that State. The cows, calves 
sheep and lambs, came by the Harlem Railroad.

to-day, but lambs are in good demand. The average 
price of sheep is about $3 50; of lambs, $4.
