Remarks. —Flour and Cotton have advanced slightly since our 
last; while Corn, Hay, and Provisions have somewhat receded. 
The market is rather inactive. 
Money continues difficult to be obtained at legal interest, except 
on first class city paper. 
The Weather is fine, but cold for the season. Considerable 
Wheat has been winter killed the past season ; it is too early as 
yet, however, to speak of the prospects of this crop. 
To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from H. Cooke, E. S , R. L. Allen, J. McKinstry, F. R. S., Ser¬ 
geant Teltrue, H. D., Solon Robinson, P., John Cooper, and J. S. 
Peacocke. 
E. W. A., of Panama, N. Y.—The plant you inquire about, is 
what is called silk grass, or milk weed (Jlsclepias seriaca), and 
may be destroyed bypuiling it up by the roots. As its root en¬ 
dures in the ground for several years, no advantage will be de¬ 
rived from cutting off the tops except in preventing others from 
growing from seeds. The other information you ask, w'c cannot 
conveniently answer. 
Diseases of Cattle. — F. of Fairfax, Va.—The symptoms which 
you describe of the ox you lost are not sufficiently definite for us 
to know of what disease he died. What you say is true—one 
grand deficiency in our agricultural writers, is, in not treating 
more at length on the diseases of animals. Those who are fa¬ 
miliar with the symptoms during the various stages of a disease, 
might so describe them that its nature might be known and a 
remedy seasonably applied. 
Acknowledgments, —The Annual Report of the Buffalo Hor¬ 
ticultural Society for the year 1847 ; with the Address ofL. F. 
Alien, delivered before said Society in September last.
