Remarks. —The only thing worthy of note, since our last, is 
the fall in flour, which is nearly one dollar less per barrel than 
last month. Wheat has gone through a corresponding depres¬ 
sion, but other grain remains nearly as before. Provisions also 
have slightly fallen. 
The fVeather has been very rainy the past four weeks, caus¬ 
ing some injury to hay and grain while harvesting. It changed, 
however, on the 14th of July, to dry, and since that period, has 
been very fine. We continue to hear a good account of all the 
incoming crops. 
To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from Wm. R. Prince. E. 8., Sergeant Teltrue, Alexander Walsh, 
Solon Robinson, J. R. S., and Reviewer.
