The subscription list of the American AgricvItuHst for 
the year 1867, is far in advance of that of any previous 
year. The Publishers take this opportunity to thank the 
hosts of friends who have not only expressed in the most 
emphatic terms their satisfaction with our paper, as it 
has made its monthly visits, hut who have also swelled 
our suhsci’iption list by calling the attention of neighbors 
and others to the paper. We hope to retain all our old 
suhscrihers, and to add 100,000 to the list. And we want 
as many names as possible tliis moiitli.

Interesting to all Readers. 
1st. Wliat you will receive for a very 
little money. For $1.50, or less, ever}’ one of our 
subscribers receives an entire volume, 13 numbers, of this 
paper, any one immher of which contains articles, hints, 
suggestions, etc., worth more than the cost of a year’s 
subscription. The engravings are of the first order, drawn 
and engraved by the best artists, and illustrating subjects 
so various that they cannot fail to interest every member 
of a family. Many a father has written to ns that he 
. must, continue to take the American Agriculturist, not 
only for Umsdf, hut because his children think so much 
.pf it; Our determination is to make each year’s issue 
better than that of the preceding year. Whether or not 
we have done this thus far, our friends who have sub¬ 
scribed for some years, can tell by comparing hack vol¬ 
umes with the later ones.

Gold has advanced one or two points since our last, 
closing quite firmly-Receipts of produce have been in- 
creasino- especially in the breadstuff line. New wheat 
has come in quite freely, chiefly by coastwise vessels, 
and by railway. New wheat from the South has been 
abundant, hut not of the best average quality... .The dc- 
mand for hreadstnffs has been good, hut holders have 
been eager sellers, as a rule, and prices have been gener¬ 
ally lower, and quite irregular. Old wheat and old wheat 
flour have been quite scarce, and have been quoted timer 
than almost any other kind of produce.^ They have been 
o-iven decided preference over new, which has been much 
depressed. Quite a brisk speculative business has been 
transacted in corn within the past two weeks, leading to 
a rapid rise in prices. The export trade is kept in check 
by the advance. Weather and crop reports from Europe 
have been more favorable, and have tended to lessen the 
export call. Oats have been scarce and held very stiffly. 
Various speculative operations have been in progress in 
them... .Provisions have been quite active, hut irregular 
in price, closing, as a rule, rather firmly..Cotton has 
been in better demand, at higher quotations, closing 
buoyant .. Wool has been sparingly dealt in at declining 
prices. Holders have been rather eager to sell, in view 
of the accumulating supplies... .Tobacco has been freely 
purchased, especially for export, at uniform prices, qual¬ 
ity considered... .Hay has been plenty, particularly new, 
which has declined materially. The demand has been 
moderate_Hops have been salable and firm... Seeds 
have been nominal and dull.

Beef Cattle.— Our report covers four weeks of ex- 
ceediiwly variable weather, part of the time very hot and 
moist—had weather both for animals and for butchers. 
Irregularity of supply, at this season, influepces the 
prices promptly, and consequently there has been rather 
more than the ordinary fluctuations in the ruling prices.
