Remarks. —Quercitron Bark, Cotton, Hay, Flour, Meal, Rye, 
and Corn, have undergone some depression since ohr last. Wheat 
remains the same, while Barley has risen. Lard, a slight decline. 
Provisions steady. 
Money has become more plenty, though considerable paper is 
still discounted in Wall street at 1 to 1% per cent, per month. 
The Weather is warm and showery, and vegetation from 12 to 
15 days more forward than last year at this time. Our accounts 
of the damage to the wheat crop by winter kill are conflicting. 
From some quarters, our correspondents report, that the favorab'e 
spring weather has quite restored many a field which did not 
promise half a crop, while others say, their winter grain is not 
only past hope, and the spring sowing has come up poorly. It is 
too early, however, to form an opinion about this crop. Not so 
much corn will be planted this year ns last, at the north and 
west; at the south the very low price of cotton will induce an 
increased planting. We trust more attention will be given to po¬ 
tatoes, for they have been enormously high all the past season, 
and of an inferior quality. We hope the farmers will make faith¬ 
ful experiments on this crop with lime, charcoal, and ashes, as 
Mr. Doolittle recommends on page 155, of this number.

Rearing Poultry. — Jonathan Scribe, of Va.—Build a good 
poultry house provided with boxes of straw, and your hens will 
not be inclined to “steal their nests.” If your cat and dog de¬ 
stroy your eggs, you have a remedy by cutting otf their tails close 
to their ears. “ Take it coolly. Better luck next time.”
