THE MARKETS. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, Dec. 31, 1849. j 
The fine sleighing for the pa.st Yveek has been 
favorable for business, and produced a good tenden¬ 
cy on the market. Produce and provisions of the 
various kinds have conic in freely. Considerable 
pork has been brought in during the week, and is 
selling at $4 .50 a 4 621. 
In Butter and Cheese there is not much doing, and 
the prices are nominal. 
In the article of wood the market is flooded— and, 
competition being the life of trade, Yvood is cheap. 
The Poultry trade for the last week has been 
good.

Busine.ss of the West. —During the week pre¬ 
ceding November 17th, 109 .steamboats arrived at 
St. Louis, averaging 16 per day. On one day, 
there were 22 arrivals. In addition to these, "a 
large number of canal boats, barges, and other 
river craft, reached the city during the same time. 
One of the papers remarks that the receipts of 
produce and general merchandise have been enor¬ 
mous, far exceeding tho.se of any previous sea-son. 
Shipments from Racine.— We.see by the Com¬ 
mercial Advertiser, of Racine, that the shipments 
from that port for this fall, amount to nearly 400,- 
000 bushels wheat, 20,000 bbls. flour 4,000 bbls. 
beef, 6,000 bus. barley, and 5,000 bus. oats. 
CoMMERCi; OF Neyv ORLEANS.—The immense 
commerce of that city may be estimated by the 
number of ves.sels in port. * On the 24th of Nov., 
there were 14.3 full rigged ships, 38 barques, 
36 brigs, and 24 schooners, 241 in all. In addi¬ 
tion to these there Yverc about 200 steamboats, and 
as many flatboats. 
The Cotton Crop —The total crop of cotton of 
the United States in 1849, is estimated in an article 
in Hunt’s Merchants Magazine at 2,729,000 bales, 
388,000 more than in 1848. The crop for 1850 is 
estimated to amount to 2,250,000 bales. The 
consumption of cotton in the United States, in 
1849, is put down at 518,000: of Great Britain at 
1,600,000; and France of the United States cotton, 
at 400,000 bales. 
Unexpected Delay. — This number is not is¬ 
sued at as early a day as YY-e intended, in conse¬ 
quence of the non-arrival of our vignette heading. 
The delay is most vexatious, and sadly interferes 
Yvith our arrangements, for we had hoped to 
publish at least a week earlier than present date. 
[CF Notice.—InvestigatioiLs made as to the Pat¬

Educational Department by L. WETHERELL. 
In announcing a neyv periodical, bearing the 
above title, and asking therefor the support and 
influence of the Rural Population of the Country, 
the Publisher solicits attention to its plan and the 
objects contemplated. It may be proper to remark, 
in the first place that the enterprise has not been 
hastily determined upon. On the contrary, we have 
long had it in view', and consulted with many of the 
most intelligent and influential farmers in the State, 
who have almost invariably admitted the necessity 
and importance of the work, and urged its com¬ 
mencement. AV c have likewise recciY'cd numerous 
letters during the past two years, suggesting and 
advising the publication of such a journal as the one 
now offered to the Agricultural Community. Indeed, 
from the facts mentioned, and other reliable infor¬ 
mation upon the subject, Yve belicY'e that the Indus¬ 
trial Citizens of the Empire State yvant and Yvill 
SUSTAIN a Weekly Agricultural and Family Newspa¬ 
per — and that such a Yvork, properly projected and 
conducted, Yvill prove largely beneficial to ihe Pro¬ 
duct! y'c Interests of the Country. These are some 
of the reasons Yvhich have induced us to embark in 
the enterprise a fcYv of the facts upon which Yve 
base our faith in its success. 
The Rural New-Yorker, as its title indicates, 
Yvill be principally devoted to Agriculture and Hor- 
ticulture and their kindred Arts and Sciences.— 
The Conductor has secured such assistance in the 
Editorial Department, as will, it is confidently 
believed, render the work one of the most reliable 
and Y'aluable in the country. A large number of 
Contributors and Correspondents — men who pos¬ 
sess, and knoYV how to impart, both practical and 
scientific knowledge — Yvill communicate the results 
of their experience, observation, and study to the 
readers of the New-Yorker. Every branch of 
Farm, Fruit, and Garden Culture will be fully and 
seasonably discussed. Each number of the paper 
will be appropriately illustrated. In this respect Yve 
pledge ourselves to make the Yew-Yorker /«?• 
superior to any similar journal ever issued in the 
L’nion. The volume for 1850 yyIH contain over 
150 HANDSOME &, COSTLY ENGRAVINGS, 
embracing Designs of Farm Buildings, — Portraits 
of Domest Animals,— Figures of NeYv and ImproY'ed 
Implements and Machines, — Choice Fruits, and 
Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Flowers, «Scc., 
&c. Particular attention will be giY'on to Rural 
Architecture; such articles, designs, and plans 
will be published as must lead to a more correct 
taste, and the erection of more convenient and beau¬ 
tiful Farm Buildings and Suburban Residences. 
The Proceedings of our State and County Agricul¬ 
tural Societies will be noticed promptly, or pub¬ 
lished at length — together with such other similar 
information as w'ill prove interesting to all engaged 
in rural juirsuits or in promoting improvement. 
To Mechanics, Manufactures, and Inventors, the 
Rural Neyv-Yorker will furnish useful and inter¬ 
esting intelligence. It will contain figures and des¬ 
criptions of improved machines and implements — 
give a list of Patents as issued— notice all new and 
valuable discoveries in the Mechanic -Arts — and em¬ 
brace a variety of other information calculated to 
enhance the interests of all engaged in mechanical 
employments. 
The Deiiartments devoted to Literature, Edu¬ 
cation, and Domestic Economy, will be con¬ 
ducted with great care, and an earnest desire to 
render their contents pleasing, useful and acceptable 
at the Family Fireside. AY'oiding the trashy non¬ 
sense put forth in too many of the literary periodicals 
of the day, we shall aim to give, each week, such 
mental entertainment as will tend to improve and 
interest the heart and mind, without vitiating the 
taste or corrupting the morals of any who may par¬ 
take of our banquet. Indeed, we shall strive to 
furnish such a variety of choice reading as will prove 
interesting to the aged and the youthful —the fath¬ 
ers and mothers, young men and maidens. 
That portion of the paper devoted to General 
Intelligence will contain a summary of the latest 
and most iinportant Domestic and Foreign News. 
No effort will ber spared to make this department 
equal in value to the best Yveekly neYY’spaper of the 
day. Particular and careful attention Yvi 11 bo given 
to reports of the Markets, Crops, &c. The columns 
devoted to this subject can be made highly interest¬ 
ing and really valuable to every farmer. It is a 
matter of great importance that every, producer 
should have late and reliable intelligence concerning 
the crops and markets, and Yve shall endeavor to keep 
our readers posted up on these topics. The ‘Pelc- 
graph, and an exchange with the best American and 
European commercial journals, will enable us to 
give, in each number, the most recent and accurate 
information. 
Ill Typographical Appearance and mechan¬ 
ical execution the New-Yorker will be second to 
no similar journal of its cla.ss. It will bo published 
in Quarto Form, on new, handsome, and clear type, 
and paper of sujmrior quality. 7’he size will be 
larger than either of the weekly agricultural jour¬ 
nals, (of wliich there are live or six) in this country; 
each number containing EIGHT LARGE QUARTO 
PAGES, (of five columns each,) with Index. Ac., 
at the close of the Y'olume — thus rendering the 
YY;ork convenient and suitable for preservation and 
binding. It will bo published every Thursday, and 
mailed so as to reach all its subscribers on the prin¬ 
cipal mail routes in this State on or before the day 
of publication. The first number Yvill be issued on 
or before the first of January — the volume com¬ 
mencing with the year. 
Terms — ill Advance; Smgle copy Two Dol¬ 
lars a Year. I'o Clubs and Agents as follows: Four 
copies for $7 — Seven cpqnes for $13— Ten copies 
for $15. All 7noneys received by niail will be ac- 
knmcledged in the paper, and receipts sent if desired. 
In conclusion, Yve confidently appeal to the Com¬ 
munity for support and encouragement. \Ve shall 
aim to make the New-Yorker every way Yvorthy 
of an extensive circulation — and such, wo fully 
believe, it will ere long receive. But as our expen¬ 
ses must be heavy, we trust all who want a first 
class family paper, Yvill at once give us their aid and 
influence. Many have already subscribed, and prom¬ 
ised to assist in establishing the Neyv-Yorker upon 
apermaneht basis; and we ask all into whose hands 
this Prospectus may fall to do likewise. Any and 
CY'ery assistance Yvhich may be rendered to forYvard 
the enterprise Yvill be duly appreciated and gratefully 
acknowledged. 
Those who knoYV hoYV faithfully wo have fulfilled 
our pledges as conductor of the Genesee Farmer, du¬ 
ring the past four years — in which period its circu¬ 
lation has been increased from three to over twenty 
thousand —will not, perhaps, require additional evi¬ 
dence that the promises made in this Prospectus 
will be fully redeemed. 
[CT Post-Masters, Clergymen, Teachers, Officers 
and Members of Agricu'tural Societies, and other 
influential persons, of all professions — friends of 
Mental and Moral as Yvell as of Agricultural Im¬ 
provement — are respectfully solicited to obtain sub¬ 
scriptions to the Neyv-Yorkf:r, and forward the, 
same as early as convenient. Subscription money, 
properly enclosed, may be sent by mail at our risk.
