Beef Cuttle. — The five weeks which our report 
covers arc remarkable for the fluctuations in prices of 
beef animals. The decline in prices commenced at the 
close of our last report. Tliey continued easily dropping 
a little, until a niah of stock, coming unexpectedly and 
nndcslrcd on a holiday week, caused a collapse in the mar¬ 
ket, such as has 5-cry rarely been ob3er5-cd. This ivill be 
fairly shown by the estimated average of prices for each 
5veek. June 18th, 17c., June 2jth, 16®10?.ic., July 2<1, 
1.5^15'4C., July 9th, 15»ic., July 10th, 16@16'ic. This is 
accounted for by a reduction of railroad tolls, the hot 
weather, together with the abundance and excellence of 
lamb, salmon, and small fruits in markct,'which lessened 
the demand for l>cef for the city trade. We quote at 
present, extra beef, 17!4^iil7Xc- per lb., estimated dressed 
xveight; good average bnllock.s, loi^iQilOi^c., and poor, 
14‘‘4'7(il5'4c. .Tlllolt Cows.— The supply and de¬ 
mand are both so small that it seems almost a farce to 
contiiuio the enumeration and estimate of prices. A 
really good cow 5vill bring—say $.S0 to $120, and this 
variation depends botli on the quality of tlic cow and the 
cliancc of a purchaser, poor cows selling at a little less 
than they are worth for beef, generally- Cal vest.— The 
price of veal lias liecn influenced in a measure by that of 
beef, the closing quotations being tlie result of a contln- 
nal though gradual decline. Wc may state the general 
range of prices ns about 8 to 12 cents per pound, live 
weight; 1 Ic. being about the average, and very choice 
calves bringing a little more than 12c., and grass cali-cs, 
4 to 7c. Siicop and Lambx.— There has been an 
improvement in the quality of both sheep and lambs 
since last month, hut 55'c are getting too many poor, thin 
l.-its of sheep no5v. Prices about for good 
mutton slieep, llx-c 5velght, the poorer grades selling at 
4/Q6C. Lambs bring &'3il2c., according to size and fat- 
ncs.-". The stock of tlie xveek was large, but as these 
llgurcs liavc been approached gradually, only a very 
short supply of sheep or falling off in some otlicr depart¬ 
ment would cau.so a marked Improvement at once.... 
Siviiie.— Tho market has been subject to a,fluctuating 
supply, and prices have varied accordingly. They no5V 
stand at for good, fair hogs.

Crop Reports and Prospects. 
The high prices 55 ’hich have prevailed thus far during 
the year for all kinds of pro5’isions, make the crop pros¬ 
pects a tlieme of unusual Interest. Everybody watches 
the weather, and consults the papers, and dreams at night 
of the crops. In the main the reports from all parts of 
the country are fa5’orable, and there is eveiy indication of 
a bountiful harvest. As 5ve go to press, 5 ve are in the 
midst of the summer fruits, of 5vhich there has been an 
abundance, 5vlth the exception of cherries, 5vhich have 
been a failure in the east. Forty cents a pound in the 
retail market 5vould indicate a general dearth of this fruit 
throughout the land. Strawberries 5vere never better. 
Tliey have been so abundant, and the prices ruled so low 
in the glut of the market, that in some places 5 ve have 
.heard of, they 5vere left to rot upon the vines. But these 
were not tlie largest and best kinds. Fine berries always 
sell well In the Ne5v York market. Raspberries have 
been abundant, and sold at good prices. We have never 
known a glut of this fruit. Currants have been plenty 
and cheap. The market is improving for this fruit, and 
5ve have seen large quantities of the Cherry and other 
large 5mrleties at 10 to 20 cents per pound at ivholesale. 
The 5vheat hanmst of the South is gathered, and has 
been a great relief to the necessities of the famishing dis¬ 
tricts. The reports made to the Agricultural Depart¬ 
ment at Washington show an increased acreage of tiventy 
per cent, devoted to this grain, and the yield has been 
among the best upon record. In the large 5vheat gro 5 ving 
districts of Pennsylvania, and the States lying west, they 
arc gathering the 5vheat crop, under the most favor¬ 
able auspices, as 5vc go to press. It is admitted on all 
liands that the 5vheat never looked bettor, and, in recent 
years, has not been less troubled with insects, rust, or 
falling do55’n. Reports from the newspapers In Missouri 
arc highly favorable. The 5veather is fine, and the yield 
of ivhcat bountiful. In Central and Southern Illinois the 
harvest is glorious, and the earth burdened 5vith count¬ 
less stacks of the golden sheaves. All through Southern 
Kansas there is an unusually large crop. In Western New 
York, the appearance of the crop is said to be encouraging. 
The 5vheat crop is heavier than it has been for years, and 
the area of ground sown having been enlarged, there 5vill 
be a handsome yield. From these and many other re¬ 
ports, 5V0 think the yield of this grain cannot be less 
than t5vo hundred millions of bushels, and from present 
appearances, it 5vill be gathered in good condition. 
Rye is much less cultivated, but has a good report from 
all quarters. Oats and barley are doing 5vell in the 
sections 5vhero they are raised. 
It is too early to prophesy concerning Indian corn,which 
is the king cereal of our country. Its prospects have been 
6 ome 5 vhat damaged by the cold and rain of May and June, 
but it is no5V looking of good color. Reports generally 
arc fa 5 -orable. July and August make the corn crop. 
The season has been very favorable for grass and hay. 
Butter and cheese have been plenty, and of good quality. 
The hay crop 5 vlll be abundant 55 ’herever the soil is in 
good condition. We are now In the midst of the hay har¬ 
vest, and it is generally admitted to be abundant. 
The large promise of apples and pears 5vill not be real¬ 
ized in the East, probably not more than an average crop, 
5 vhich indicates a good market in New York for all the 
fruit the West can send us. Of grapes it is too early to 
speak, though the vines are said to be looking 5vell. 
Peaches in Jersey and Dcla5varc 5vill be plenty. 
The great crops of the South, com, cotton, and tobacco, 
are doing quite as 5vell as could be expected under the 
circumstances. In the Jlississippl Valley there 55 ’ere ex¬ 
tensive breaks in the levees, and 5 vide spread destruction 
therefrom. In other parts on the sea-board there ha\'c been 
excessive rains and ovcrfl05VS, but the damage is confined 
to the low lands in the river 5 'alleys. In some parts there 
arc complaints from the freedmen, that they are diverted 
from their labor by political speakers, 5vho are anxious to 
indoctrinate tliem in their duties as citizens. But not- 
5 vithBtanding tliesc dra 5 vback 8 , the reports from the South 
arc in the main of a cheerful character. The froedmen 
are better paid, and work better than last year. The feel- 
in'' for the future, growing out of the prospects of the 
crops, is very hopeful and jubilant. In North Mississippi 
they have devoted three-fourths of their land to bread- 
stuffs ; the cotton looks healthy, but^suffers tor lack of the
