PRODUCE MARKET. 
Reported Exclusively for the American Agriculturist. 
Tuesday, Sept. 6, 1855. 
The prices given ih our reports from week to week, are the 
average wholesale prices oltained 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 price of the different qualities of Po¬ 
tatoes still keeps up to about $1 50 a barrel. This is no 
criterion of the fall market, as supplies from the farmers 
have not yet begun to come in. We see no probability of 
any advance in prices as, not withstanding the apprehen¬ 
sions of the decrease, there is an immense supply yet to 
come in. Those farmers who can do so will probably rea¬ 
lize most by disposing of their surplus Potatoes at an early 
date, as we have but a year in which to eat them, and the 
time is too short for the supply. We are doing our best 
now, as they are the cheapest food. 
The quanlity of Peaches improves; there are more 
“ Free Stones.” The supply is full as great, and yet we 
quote same rates. 
Tomatoes are at merely nominal price. 
There is considerable stir in pears this week, and fancy 
pears are bringing fine prices. 
Sweet Potatoes have fallen 50c. Ip bbl. 
Watermelons continue in good demand at sustained 
prices. Muslrmelons are growing plentier and de¬ 
clining.

CTION SALE OF THOROUGH¬ 
BRED DEVON CATTLE. 
The subscriber proposes to sell at Auction, his entire herd of 
thoroughbred “ Herd Book” Devonshire Cattle, on 
WEDNESDAY, 17th OCTOBER next, 
at his farm, 2^ miles from Troy, N. Y., comprising 11 head of 
breeding Cows, and about 9 head of Bulls, Heifer and Bull 
Calves. 
The originals of this fine herd 1 were selected with great care 
through importations from England, and purchases in this coun¬ 
try, and they have been bred wi Ji equal care, and all will ad¬ 
mit on examination, they are a splendid herd of this popular 
breed of cattle. 
Among the herd is the beautiful, 3-year-old, imported bull 
MAY BOY, bred by John T. Davy, Esq., of South Moulton, 
Devonshire, England, Editor of the English Devon Herd Book. 
This bull, as will be seen by his pedigree, is descended from the 
highest strain of blood that England affords, and for perfection 
in symmetry, vigor and sprightly action, it will he difficult to 
find his superior. His get, as will be seen in the herd, will at¬ 
test his superiority as a stock getter. 
There is, also, among the herd, a beautiful 4-year-old Heifer 
and her Bull Calf. She was imported from the celebrated herd 
of Lord Leicester. 
A credit of 12 months will be given for approved paper on in¬ 
terest. Catalogues of the animals will soon be issued, with 
pedigrees and further particulars, and may be procured at the 
offices which publish this advertisement, and of t he subscriber.
