ALBANY MARKET—March 11. 
There is more activity along the docks and pier, 
but the trade is not very active. 
Fiour—There is a small river inquiry for Flour; 
this, coupled with the regular home demand, has 
tended to make the market more active. The sales 
we/o some 300 or 400 bbls at $4 8705 12 for com¬ 
mon to good State, $5 1905 31 for Michigan, $537 
05 50 for pure Genesee, and $5 6206 25 for fancy

kinds low'cr prices are accepted. Wo quote Rye 55c, 
Corn 57c, Oats 38039, Barley 60065. There is a 
lot of 2000 bu. Barley on the market for which 65c 
vyas offered and 70 asked.

Clover at $809 for small and large; new medium 
large State 9iO10. Timothy is dull at $3 25 
03 75.

steady and saleable. Shoulders 5|06c. Hams 7%

sed Hogs sold at $4 25. Good lots are $505 25 
with small sales. 
Whiskey—The market is better. Sales 20 barrels 
Prison at 24|o. Some holders are firm at 24ic. 
NEW YORK WOOL MARKET—March 9. 
The great feature of the wool trade this week is 
the announcement by one of our principal houses to 
sell the balance of their own and consigned Domes¬ 
tic Wool at auction, on the 13th proximo. This lot 
contains about 50,000 IBs. low, 120,000 IBs medium 
and 130,000 IBs, | to full-blood. 
There are various opinions about the policy of 
this movement, but the majority appear to believe 
that it will be beneficial rather than otherwise, as it 
no doubt will call together a large company of con¬ 
sumers, and give an opportunity for manufacturers 
to supply themselves with grades of wool which 
they now stand much in need of. We are advised 
that the sale will be peremptory. 
Under this state of things operations arc of course 
suspended; but the number of consumers who are 
in market is equal to any previous week of the sea¬ 
son. We hear of but two important transactions in 
Fleece, one of 20,000 IBs .? to full-blood, at 40®45e, 
the other, of 5O,0oO IBs, low and medium, at 35(3 
40c. We also learn that sales have been eflected of 
6,000 IBs, Georgia unwashed and burry, at 17c, and 
4f2)5,000 tub washed Northern, at 35c. 
In Pulled Wools there has been more activity, 
sales of 60,000 IBs having been effected at 32c for 
No. 1 City—33c for No. 1 Country—and 35(a)36c for 
sujier. 
The receipts continue light, and it may bo safely 
calculated that there is but little more in the conn- 
try to come forward. It also appears that N. York 
IS the only city on the Atlantic sea board which is 
even tolerably supplied at present, and the stock on 
this market is less than 1,500,000 IBs. Boston hav¬ 
ing about 300,000, and Pliiladelphia about 200,000 
IBs. This would leave 2,000,000 IBs for the three 
markets: and as it is now four months at lca.st before 
wc can expect any of the new clip, it follows that 
there is but 40,000lbs per week to supply the three 
markets. We quote:

REVIEW OF THE SAN FRANCISCO MARKET. 
Feb. 1st—San Francisco presents the appearance of as 
large a commercial city as in any portion of the world. 
It is gratifying to note a eradual stability in commercial 
affairs and increasing confidence. Business operations 
are soinewliat checked by scarcity of money, arising 
fronuiie constant draw upon the gold dust productions of 
California, for exportation, and the rainy season causing 
large quantities to remain in the mining district. One 
month or six weeks will find good weather, a brisk up 
river demand, and plenty of gold dust, which will with¬ 
out doubt, counteract the usual effect in the markets of 
large arrivals of merchandise, and cause even belter than 
present ruling rates. It is believed the opening of Spring 
business will be all-important to the growing prosperity 
of t)ic country—giving by the necessarily increased de¬ 
mand a basis to business that must bring to a level on fair 
mercantile grounds business, reduce prices, and not aa 
many apprehend, lessen the value of real estate. The 
iiltiinate successful distiny of California and San 
Francisco, as the main portof entry is now established- 
her harbor ivill in less than one year be the outlet to a 
trade with China, Sandwich Islands and Europe, by 
steam. Already have millions of money for investment 
been brought here by the steamers and other sourci g. Jn 
addition old and distinguished merchants Irom Europe 
amt America are arriving, prepared to remain, and by 
their e.\perience give dignity and firmness to affairs. 
The loss by the late fire is hardly felt. It h.as had a de¬ 
cided tendency to lessen the value of wooden biiildirigo 
and make the erection of brick universal. In purchases 
of real estate houses on the land are not taken into con¬ 
sideration in determining value, so much fear is there 
constantly of fire. Fine brick buildings are bcingerect 
cd. Real estate on the advance. Large sales by the city 
authorities have enhanced its value. Much speculation 
going on. Houses, such as have been sliipped to this 
country, are selling at from ®300 to 01,000 each, ansin" 
as much from the abundant supply of same, lumber'’ 
and prejudice against them. We do not advise shipments’ 
of wooden houses. Iron houses, lumber and materials 
for brick buildings, will pay for some time to come. We 
think no apprehension nee inow exist as to scarcity of 
workmen. Labor will cnine down and workmen be 
abundant.

of over 100 pages, I 2 ni().; price $ 1 . 
A cheaper, but equally valuable book with Down- 
ing 8 , was wanted by the great mass. Just such a 
work has Mr. Thomas given us. We consider it an 
invaluable addition to our agricultuml libraries.— 
I vool Grotoer. 
• predict for it a very rapid sale ; it should be 
m the hand of every fruit grower, and especially 
every nurseryman. It is a very cheap book for its 
price .—Ohio Cultivator. 
It is a book of great value .—Genesee Eurtner. 
Among all the writers on fVuits, we do not know 
of one who is Mr. Thomas’ superior, if Ids equal, in 
condensing important matter. He gets riglit at the 
pith of the thing—he gives you that which you wisli 
to know at once ; stripped of all useless talk and 
twattle. No man has a keener eye for the best w-ay 
of doing things. Hence we always look into his 
wntings with the assurance that we shall find some¬ 
thing new, or some improvement on the old ; and 
we are seldom disappointed. This book is no ex¬ 
ception. It is full. There is no vacant space in it 
—It IS like a fresh egg—all good and jiacked to the 
shell Ml—Prairie Earmej-. 
In the volume before us, wc have the result of the 
author s experience and observations, continued

Money-Gold dust is in good demand. The steamer 
will take hut little—as well as the steamer which leaves 
on the 1st of March. The following will take large 
amounts, as considerable quantiti»'8 of merchandise must 
find a market In April. The scarcity of the same, and 
urgent demand for immediate use to meet engaitements 
accounts for high quotations. IVe have heard of no 
loans at less than 8 ^ cent, and some have been made at 
15 and 20 $> cent. ^ month. The usual time for loans is 
from 15 to 30 days. 
Breadstufts—Since the sailing of the last steamer, flour 
has declined. Considerable has changed hands princi¬ 
pally of Chile in satlpt, for cousuiinnlon. Sales vvere 
made at our quotations. American Flour is dull. Chile 
rilot and Navy Bread are dull at quotations. Bariev is 
on the decline. Last sales at5|c lb, on board, held in

nearly 100 ^ cent, decline, owing to supply. “ 
Lumber—Is on the decline—very little demand. We 
hearot cargoes changing hands as low as 0fcO; though 
most in market is held at from 0100 to 0150, which rates 
cannot be maintained by sales. Lumber will slowly de¬ 
cline.

TO FARMERS AND GARDENERS! 
SEYMOUR’S GRAIN DRILL, 
^HIS pRILI,, which was patented in KSeptem- 
-ii* ^ latest improvementa in 
i^nl ing Machines, and better adapted to the wants 
of the farmer than any other now before the public. 
It sows or plants all kinds of grain and seeds, from 
peas, beans, corn and cotton, to the smallest seeds- 
and cornbincs the advantages of sowing either broad 
«ast or in drills. It is an excellent Broad Cast Sow¬ 
ing iVlachiiic, vvlien the drill teeth and conductimr 
Uibcs, (which are very conveniently detached,) are 
taken oil. ' 
Many farmers soak their wheat in brine or other 
liquid, (m which the good seed sinks while the foul 
lloats oil,) for the double purpose of separating it 
Ironi toul seed and rolling it in lime, plaster or otiicr 
le^rtihzing substances. Tliis lias the ad vantage over 
other drills, inasmucli as it performs well in sowin-- 
gram thus prepared, while they utterly fail in the at“ 
tempt. Wet wlicat, oats or wliito caps, which so 
readily clog otiier machines, arc not serious obsta¬ 
cles 111 this. Those who wish to soak their seed for 
any purpose wimtever, or mix with it any fine fer¬ 
tilizers, such as lime, plaster, bone dust, See., _and 
also those who prefer thrashing with a flail, to avoid i 
the injury done to the seed by thrashino- with a 
drill for 
J. !ILM. 
Wlien drilling with tiiis machine, tlic grain falls 
iroin the grain-box to the tubes, (a space of six 
inches,) 111 full view of the person attending it_ 
so that, in passing over the field, he may be con¬ 
stantly assured that the seed is deposited as he de¬ 
signs. The teeth are all raised from the ground at 
once, with one lever; or one may be raised at a time. 
The convenience and simplicity with which this 
machine is managed is unparalleled. No necessary 
expense or pains have been spared in making it as 
desiratile, in all re.spects, as possible, and after many, 
and the most satisfactory experiments — not in the 
Winter on the floor of the machine shop merely, but 
in seedmg time, with the funnel', under various cir¬ 
cumstances, on rough and smooth, hilly and level, 
stony and clear land — the inventor (who was bred 
a practical farmer, and ought to know something of 
the farmer’s wants,) feels assured that the machine 
IS not only established on correct principles, but is 
got up in that simple and permanent style and good 
taste which cannot fail to suit all. 
The first premium, for a Grain Drill capable of de¬ 
positing fine manures with the grain, was awarded 
to this Machine at the Fair of the New York State 
Reid at Syracuse in Sept., 
i?* i'* ^ received the lirst premium at the 
Michigan State tair, in 1349, and the first premium 
of the Ontario County Society. 
REC030IENDATIONS. 
A few certificates, from the most reliable sources 
are subjoined:— ’ 
Mr. iS'eywom-—Sir: With the Grain Drill which 
I purchased of you this season, my son, a lad 16 
years of age, has put in about 50 acres of wheat for 
me, and with some of it about a bushel and a half 
per acre of aslies and hen dung was mixed, and all 
to my entire satisfaction. Ho has also drilled in 
about 100 acres for others, and I believe all are well 
pleased with the Machine, and 1 must say I prefer it 
to any I have seen. IRA R. PECK. 
East Bloomfield, Sept., 17, 1849. 
Mr. P. Sey7nour—'Dcnt Sir: You ask for my 
opinion with regard to the Wheat Drill 1 purchased 
of you this fall. Without specifying particulars 1 
would express my unqualified approbation of it over 
that of any other which I have seen in use. I am 
somewhat enthusiastic on the subject of drilling — 
believing it will soon be universally adopted by far¬ 
mers. I would not willingly disparage the patents 
of other individuals. 
In haste, with great respect, yours, &c., 
Gates, Sept. 10, 1849. CALVIN SPERRY. 
This may certify, that I have used Mr. Pierpont 
Seymour’s Wheat Drill, and I consider it just tlie 
thing for putting in wheat. W.M. OTIS. 
Rochester, Sept. 7, 1849. 
I have examined certian certificates in the hands 
of Mr. Seymour, in favor of his Grain Drill, one of 
them from Ira li. Peck. I am personally acquaint¬ 
ed witli Mr. Peck. His statement can be fully re¬ 
lied on. The other certificates, I have no doubt, 
arc from equally reliable sources. I have myself 
heard the Drill spoken of in high terms of commen¬ 
dation, by farmers who had used it; and have also 
seen it in operation, and believe it to be at least one 
of the very best in use. 1 was present at the State 
Fair, in September last, where the first premium 
was awarded to Mr. Seymour for his Drill. I have 
the confidence that any statement which Mr. Sey¬ 
mour would be likely to make in regard to the Drill 
would be strictly true. [S.\AC W. MITCHELL.

stituting iron in several important parts in the place

TESTIMONIALS. 
I he following certificates show the public senti¬ 
ment in regard to this machine; 
We, the undersigned, being well acquainted with 
Seymour s Broad-cast Sowing Machine, do say it is 
vyoll adapted to all the purposes for wiiicli it is de¬ 
signed, and It far exceeds all others of which we 
have any knowledge. 
DAVID C. BATES, Canandaigua, 
SAMUEL H. ANDREWS, do. 
RUFUS HUMPHREY, Victor. 
DAVID CLARK, Seneca. 
This may certify, that I have used Seymour’s 
Sowing Machine, in sowing oats, barley, peas, 
clover and herds grass seed, and it operates to my 
utmost satisfaction. I sowed 30 bushels of oats, 8 
bushels of peas, and 20 bushels of barley in one 
day, and I think 30 acres a reasonable day’s work. 
J' H. .GLASS, Avon, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour —Dear Sir; The Sowing Machine 
I purchased ot you in September last, fully answers 
the recommendations, and I think it among the beet 
farming implements of which ourcountry can boost 
J. HOLLOWAY, York, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymoi/r—lt gives me pleasure to state that 
I have used your Sowing Machine with much suc¬ 
cess, JABEZ GODDARD, York, Liv. Co. 
I have used for two seasons past, P. Seymour’s 
Sowing Machine for sowing grain and plaster. For 
sowing grain it is excolleut on account of sowing sri 
much more evenly than can be sowed by hand. lu 
sowing plaster, it is invaluable on account of its sax- 
uig la^r ns \\ell as avoiding tho very disagreeable * 
dust that arises from it.
