AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
[July, 
on freight, and the great trouble with the stevedores and 
longshoremen (loaders of ships), who, having made a 
•‘strike” for higher wages, refused to work, and did 
everything in their power to prevent less exacting laborers 
from filling their places. This trouble continues without 
abatement, and very seriously impedes shipping opera¬ 
tions. The Scotia, from Liverpool, arrived here on Mon¬ 
day, bringing reports of very fine weather, promising 
crops, and falling markets in the West of Europe. This 
news had a depressing effect on the markets here, and 
with the rapid decline in Gold and Sterling Exchange 
yesterday, holders were eager to sell, and purchasers less 
willing to operate. Prices close lower than a month 
ago, and with a strong downward tendency.... Cotton 
fluctuated materially, but closes rather firmly at 57c (a) 
5Sc ^ lb for Middlings, with a moderate inquiry-Wool 
opened heavily at drooping prices, in the absence of 
buyers, who had gone into the country to make purchases, 
but having partially returned, during the past two weeks, 
business has been more active, particularly in domestic 
fleece, and at more regular rates.. Provisions have been 
quite plenty and have declined. The demand has been 
mainly for hog products. Butter and Cheese having 
been in very limited request . Iiay and Hops have been 
in fair demand, while Seeds and Tobacco have been quiet, 
without any remarkable changes in prices-Petroleum 
has been freely offered and purchased, mainly for future 
delivery, at irregular prices.Business in most other 
articles has been quite limited. The following table will 
show the present prices and the changes from last month.

FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL TREES. 
RARE CHANCES OFFERED. 
200,000 Choice Fruit Trees, "Vines, etc., for 
sale, of varied size to suit customers. 
The subscriber calls attention to his unusually large stock 
of well grown trees now on hand, and especially to the pre¬ 
sent stock of the standard fruit, Apple, which is the 
largest and finest ever offered at these Nurseries. 
With twenty years of experience, by careful observation 
and judicious selections, he believes he is able to judge and 
furnish what will suit his customers, as well as the varied 
soils and localities, in which trees may be wanted. There is 
also special attention paid to local' varieties, adapted to 
Southern and Central Pennsylvania, many of which have 
proven themselves more valuable, than softs originating in 
a climate differing so widely from these sections? 
He is also preparing a list of club prices for those •who 
purchase direct from the proprietor, offering rare induce¬ 
ments for neighbors to join together and get trees consider¬ 
ably under the regular retail prices. 
This mode is adopted for those who may not have an op¬ 
portunity to purchase from his regularly authorized agents, 
and hold a mistrust towards the too numerous tree venders 
spread over the land. 
£25?" The frequent use made of his name and establishment 
by strangers, to effect sales where the reputation of the 
nursery is known, compels him to warn all not to purchase 
—as coming from these Nurseries—stock offered by pre¬ 
tenders, who do not hold an authority from the proprietor. 
Local or stationed agents will be accepted, but neither 
traveling nor stationary agency inquiries will receive notice, 
unless the parties produce satisfactory reference as to their 
honesty in dealing with customers and employer. Send for 
Catalogues and priced List, which contain inducements not 
before offered by him. Abundant and trustworthy re¬ 
ference WILL BE FURNISHED TO ALL WHO ARE STRANG¬ 
ERS TO THE ESTABLISHMENT.

Saratoga Springs Remedial 
Institute. 
THIS INSTITUTION WAS ESTABLISHED TO MEET 
the wants of a class of Patients who feel the necessity of 
leaving their homes for medical aid. Its location was 
chosen in view of the medicinal advantages of the Springs. 
Since graduating at the New-York Medical University, we 
have availed ourselves of the facilities found only in our 
large cities for the study of disease, and have given special 
attention to those of Women ; also, of the Throat, Heart, and 
Lungs. 
As medical practitioners we treat all diseases; but Chronic 
Affections claim our principal attention. 
While this is not a Water-cure, the invalid will find a srood 
gymnasium, and all the facilities of a well-conducted scien¬ 
tific Hydropathic Establishment. 
The home reputation of a physician should be the basis of 
public confidence. For a fuller knowledge of the Institute, 
we refer to our Circular, and the reliable citizens of our 
village. 
The medical profession are invited to acquaint themselves 
with the Institution.
