TORONTO, C. W„ .Tune 17.—The unsettled weather and 
the bad roads have the effect of decreasing the usually 
small deliveries of produce. Yesterday the market was 
very poorly supplied, and with little or no variation in pri¬ 
ces 1 here is no new feature to notice. 
Grain.— Of wheat only about 500 bushels changed hands. 
Prices in one or two instances were a shade higher than on 
the day previous, but only for the primest samples. The 
current outside quotations ranged from 8s 6d to 8s 9d, with 
I s Jbd paid for two loads. For ordinary and good lots 8s 3d 
to 8s Od, and for inferior and medium 7s 6d to 8s were the 
ruling rates. Spring wheat is steady at 7s 3d to 7s 6d, and 7s 
9d for the best. Barley and Rye are in exceedingly small 
supply at 3s 6d to 3s 9d, as purely nominal quotations. Oats 
are without change, and are steady at 2s iOd to 2s lid, and 
sometimes 3s per bushel. Peas are in good demand at 4s 3d, 
4s bd, and sometimes 4s 8d per bushel. Corn is quiet, and 
held firmly at 4s 6d to 4s 9d per bushel. 
Potatoes—A re plentiful, but are firmly held at 3s Gd to 4s 
per bushel. The principal supplies still consist of importa¬ 
tions.— Globe. 
Exports op Breadstuffs.— From the interesting statistics 
of trade and commerce contained iu the June number of 
Hunt’s Merchants’ Magazine, we learn that the present 
fiscal year, which ends on the 30th inst,, will probably pre¬ 
sent a smaller quantity of breadstufTs exported from the 
United States than has been witnessed in any year since 
1849. Up to 1846 the largest quantity of wheat that was ever 
exported in any one year since the great European wars of 
the first Bonaparte, was 11,193,365 bushels in the year 1840. 
In 18^)7 the amount exported was 83,730,596 bushels: in 1858 
it was 26,487,041. For the current year the amount will be 
greatly less, while it will also present the new feature of 
enlarged imports of wheat from Europe.

THE AMERICAN 
EMIGRANT AID AND HOMESTEAD COMPANY, 
Having its head-quarters in the City of New York, has been 
organized for the sole and definite purpose of collecting in¬ 
formation from all parts of the country wherein desirable 
tanas may be had at low prices, and commending those 
lands to the attention and favor of all who may be induced 
to purchase and improve them. It is now ready to offer to 
settlers a range for selection embracing more than One Mil¬ 
lion Acres of cheap wild lands, with some improved farms, 
mainly in the States of Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee 
and Missouri; and it will soon extend its operations into 
other states. Owners of good lands, whether improved or 
not, which they are willing to sell at low rates, are invited to 
communicate with us on the subject.

KETCHUH S REAPER AND MOWER STILL 
TRIUMPHANT! 
The Ivetohum Machine of this year is “winning 
golden opinions from all men.” It is now the first 
Mower and Reaper in the world, and is adapted to all 
kinds of work—will cut all kinds of grass under any 
circumstances, and is tho best Combined Machine for 
cutting either grass or grain ever offered to the farmer. 
Read the following testimony: 
Ctnthiana, Ky., June 16,1859. 
R. L. nowAP-D, Esq.,— Sir: I witnessed the trial of 
Mowing Machines at this place on the 10th June, at 
which the Ketchum Machine took the first premium 
against a host of competitors, and now I have had the 
pleasure of being present at the second contest in cut¬ 
ting grain, in which it took the first premium as a Com¬ 
bined Machine. The wheat cut was heavy and green, 
which made it hard raking off, but the Ketchum Ma¬ 
chine bore off the palm from ail competitors. The 
wheat was delivered beautifully from the Ketchum 
Machine, and the lightness of the draft was remarkable. 
It was only 250, while that of the Manny Machine was 
400. Manny’s was the heaviest, while the Ketchum 
was the lightest. The farmers nearly all paid the high¬ 
est compliments to the Ketchum Machine, and took 
more pains to interest themselves in its operation than 
in any other machine on the ground. 
The Ketchum Machine stands very high in old Ken¬ 
tucky, and I know it will sustain itself against all com¬ 
petitors. Farmers are beginning to learn that it is best 
to stand by an old friend, which is constantly improving 
and advancing in excellence, rather than to follow after 
tho new-fangled machines, which have no other recom¬ 
mendation than having a fifth wheel, or some inexpli¬ 
cable combination of cogs. Yours, &c., 
A Fap.mep..

±o immigrants irom Europe, to the energetic young men 
of our compactly settled States and sections, to the hives of 
mechanics and laborers who throng our cities and live in 
constant and reasonable dread that panic or pestilence, war 
revulsion, or some alteration in the channels of Trade may 
at any moment, deprive them of employment and their 
families of bread, we say, Resolve now, while you may, to 
seek a home where such perils are unknown. In every new 
settlement, in every thriving rural district, there is always 
work for the resolute and able, and a sure independence for 
those who by diligence and temperance deserve it. 
We mean to sell lands, as well as negotiate for purchasers 
with those who have large tracts for sale, in every part of 
the Union; but our attention is more specially directed to 
the neighboring States—Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee. Mis¬ 
souri. Virginia especially proffers at this time remarkable 
inducements to immigrants. Her climate is temperate and 
genial—the Peach, the Apple, the Pear, the Grape, alike 
thrive in it—it is far better and more desirably Timbered 
than almost any new State; its navigable rivers and innu¬ 
merable, available streams, water-power, and profusion of 
the most valuable minerals—Coal, Iron, Salt, Copper, Ac.— 
are unsurpassed; the State has expended large sums in con¬ 
structing Canals and Railroads across its entire breadth, 
which place almost every County within a few hours’ ride 
either of its seaports or of the great inland cities of Cincin¬ 
nati, Pittsburgh, Wheeling, Louisville, &c.; yet fertile, invi¬ 
ting land, whether improved or new, is far cheaper this day 
in the Mother of States, than it is in Minnesota or Oregon 
No where else on earth can lands filled with accessible Ooai 
or Iron Ore, covered with choice Timber, and excellent 
alike for Grain and Grass, Fruit and Roots, be obtained so 
cheaply as in Old Virginia; while to men of considerable 
means we can sell good farms almost within sight of Wash¬ 
ington City for less than the fair cost of the improvements. 
The Table Lands of East Tennessee present some 
of the most inviting fields for enterprise and industry. The 
climate is salubrious and healthful. Its soil is adapted to all 
agricultural pursuits. Its unimproved lands are covered 
with useful Timber, or present natural openings and 
Meadows producing nutritious grass. The farmer can have 
his products on ship board in 30 hours, and can buy his Gro¬ 
ceries, Dry Goods, Ac., at home as cheap as any one in New 
England. Yet we can sell him good lands with perfect, un¬ 
disputed titles at from One to Three dollars per acre. 
This Company recommends Organized Immigratirn. Let 
one hundred (more or less) young men or heads of families, 
including farmers, mechanics, millers, Ac., with a lawyer, 
doctor, clergyman and two or more teachers, take counsel 
together and resolve to seek new and more eligible homes 
in company. Let them, clubbing their means, send two of 
their number to look at such lands as we are prepared to sell 
them, and such others as they shall see fit. Let these dele¬ 
gates, after a sufficient scrutiny, buy from five to twenty 
thousand acres in a body, embracing all the good points they 
require; then let them survey the whole into farms and lots 
of convenient size and put these up at auction to the high¬ 
est bidder, whether a member of the company or not. Each 
member will, of course, be entitled to a return in land or 
money of the sum previously contributed by him to the com¬ 
pany’s funds, and to his proportion of any profit realized 
from the transaction. The miller or manufacturer would 
naturally buy the water-power; the miner or smith, 
the coal, if ceal should be on the land; the merchant and 
professional man, the village lots; the wool-grower, the 
cheap and rugged hill-sides; the grain-grower, the warm 
and fertile valleys. Thus happily dividing and beginning to 
settle their tract as interest, taste, or convenience shall dic¬ 
tate, the Company will form a sort of spontaneous township, 
with its roads, bridges, stores, schools, church, Ac., substan¬ 
tially after the New England pattern, such a location may 
easily be made; and into such a one, Slavery will have 
neither pretext nor desire to enter. The city of Wheeling, 
the Quaker portion of Loudoun county, not to speak of new 
experiments, fairly exemplify the law we here indicate.— 
Thus, before a steady and copious influx of Free-Labor im¬ 
migration, Slavery quietly and gradually disappears without 
convulsion or heart-burning, and the settlers will find their 
property quadrupled by the single act of settlement. 
Young men! We proffer you cheap land, ample timber, a 
mild and healthful climate, adaptation to all the grains, 
grasses and fruits of the temperate zone, with ready access 
to ample and remunerative markets at all seasons. This 
day, more than half the arable land in Virginia has never 
been turned by a plow, while much of the good lands once 
generously productive, is now but meagerly so. Good treat¬ 
ment will readily and cheaply restore them to their pristine 
fertility. No stronger inducements to industry, no better op¬ 
portunities to hew out a certain competence, no nobler 
theater for exertion, is proffered anywhere on earth. Will 
you call upon or write us for particulars ? Please address

an approval of the principles of his inaugural and 
annual messages on the subject of Slavery. 
The American party in Georgia have decided not

It will appoint delegates to the National Conven¬

The Detroit Tree Press has made the discovery 
that there are now no voters in Michigan. This 
happens from a blunder of the Legislature in draft¬ 
ing the Registry Bill, passed at its last session.— 
The law provides that no person shall be allowed 
to vote unless his name shall be duly registered, 
but makes no provision for registering until Octo¬ 
ber next. As the law was to take effect immedi¬ 
ately upon its passage, it follows that all voters are 
disfranchised until October.

Flour.— The stock in market is small, but sufficient for 
all purposes, as buyers are scarce. Sales are only made to 
supply retail trade, at a reduction of 25 cents per barrel 
from last week’s quotations. The depressing influences of 
Eastern reports prevents speculation. 
Grain.— Almost every species of cereal exhibits a decline 
in rates. Genesee Wheat has fallen off 20025 cents per 
bushel; best white Canada 15@20 cents. Corn holds to for¬ 
mer prices. Rye is firm at 90 cents. Oats drooping at 2 
cents reduction. Barley as last quoted. 
Meats—P ork, per cwt„ is down to $7,0007,50, Beef is 
obtaining better rates— $6,0006,50 —an advance equal to 50 
cents per cwt. Spring Lambs are sought for at $1,50@$1,75 
per head. Other meats unchanged. 
Dairy, Ac.—In this department of trade we are unable to 
alter our table in any respect—last week's figures rule. 
Potatoes are going up a little — 50065 cents is paid, as to 
quality and variety. 
Hides, Ac.—The only change is in Sheep and Lamb pelts. 
The former are worth 12X cents for shearlings; for wool pelts 
$1,75@$2,00 is the range. Lamb pelts 25038 cents is given. 
Wool.— But little is offered, so little that it is evident the 
large majority of farmers are storing their clip. Prices are 
unchanged. See reports under appropriate heading.

ALBANY, N. Y„ June 15.—The new clip is coming for¬ 
ward slowly, and we have only to note sales in the street at 
30042, as in quality.— Journal. 
BATII, N. Y„ June 15.—As Steuben is the first county in 
the State in the production of wool, we have taken some 
little pains to ascertain, for the benefit of our wool-growing 
friends, about what they may expect to realize for their 
wool It can hardly be said that prices are fairly establish¬ 
ed. Some buyers insist on last year's prices, but the general 
impression is that wool will range higher this year than last 
One lot was said in Howard last week for 40 cents, and an¬ 
other at 42. A dealer from Penn Yan was through this 
section last week, inquiring of holders if they would take 
45 cents, but we do not learn that the former offered to give 
it, or the latter consented to take that price. These figures 
refer of course to the best grades. From all we can learn, 
we incline to the opinion that the best qualities will range 
from 40 to 45 cents; they may run higher, but are quite as 
likely to fall as rise. Experienced and careful buyers do 
not bite very sharp as yet; but as competition is the life of 
business, they may improve a trifle in a few days. A dealer 
in this town offered 45 cents last week for the “Valley wool,” 
which was refused.— Courier. 
PONTIAC, Mich., June 16.—There is quite a large quan¬ 
tity of wool being offered. The price ranges from 32 to 45 
cents B lb. Those who have wool to sell, will do well to get 
it into market as soon as possible, as the prospect is not 
very flattering for any further advance. —Jacksonian. 
BALTIMORE, Md„ June 14.—The following from the 
Baltimore Price Current, shows the dealing in wool at 
that city, for the past week:—“There is but little new wool 
coming in—prices unchanged, viz.: new unwashed at 21 to 
22c; old do at 22 to 24c: tub washed 25 to 34e; pulled from 
30 to 38c for No. 1, and 35 to 38c for Merino. More has been 
doing in pulled at low rates; some 15,000 to 20.000 lbs. sold 
to go East at 30010c lb., averaging 37 Xc ti ib.” 
CHICAGO, June 16.—Some small lots have come in du¬ 
ring the week, which have been sold at higher prices than 
many dealers anticipated could be paid. Among the sales 
were lots at 38040c for extra good fleece; 33c for common 
to quarter blood; 37Xc for fine; 20c for coarse unwashed 
Missouri; 30c for native tub washed. The rates may be 
stated at about as follows:—Common to quarter blood 30c: 
one-half blood 32033c; three-quarter blood 35K@38c.— 
Democrat. 
M ATERTOWN, Wis., June 16.—Thus far during the sea¬ 
son the wool trade has not been very brisk in this city. On 
the contrary, it has been unusually dull. Comparatively 
little has been brought in, though what has been offered has 
found a ready sale at the figures which the buyers are will¬ 
ing to give. The largest amount sold in any one day was a 
thousand pounds. The prices range from 20 to 35 cents per 
pound, according to quality, and there is no reasonable 
probability that much more will be paid. Buyers here at 
present are by no means as numerous as they ordinarily 
are, and consequently there is scarcely any competition 
among them.— Democrat. 
TORONTO, C. W., June 17.—Wool continues to come iu 
freely, and the market is rather more settled at Is 4Kd $ 
lb. for clean washed samples, this figure being an extreme 
rate,, and anything higher is paid but seldom. The demand 
is brisk, but the competition between buyers is not so active.

the country where Machines of this kind have been used.— 
It was first introduced in the year 1856, and so rapidly did it 
gain the public confidence that five hundred were sold the 
first yearof itsexistence. In the year 1857 its sales amounted 
to near one thousand machines, and in that year it was sent 
to the great National Trial of Reapers and Mowers, held 
at Syracuse, N. Y„ and although the machine used at that 
trial was not got up for that purpose, but was one of 15 sent 
there for sale—and notwithstanding this machine entered 
that contest a stranger and almsst friendless, there being no 
one present to take charge of it, or to represent it, who felt 
any particular interest in its success—it received the highest 
number of credit marks (61,) as a Single Mower of any 
machine on the ground ! 
Had it been heralded and introduced to the World with a 
flourish of trumpets, and a long retinue of influential friends 
interested in its success—puffed in the East and glorified in 
the West, by the owners of territorial rights—displayed at 
World's Fairs in Europe, and commended by potentates and 
princes that know as much about machinery as they do of 
the density or quantity of matter in the center of tnc earth 
—or had it ever been persecuted into notoriety by a host of 
jealous competitors, and been manufactured in various 
States and Countries—its sale and success might have bben 
much more extensive, but the machine itself not one whit 
more complete and satisfactory. 
During the last year the Machine has been entirely 
remodeled and vastly improved by the Patentee, and is 
now offered to the market as one of the best Combined Ma¬ 
chines in the country. Space will not permit us to give a 
detailed description of the character and operation of the 
machines. For this information I beg leave to refer custo¬ 
mers to my printed Circulars in the hands of my Agents. 
The following named gentlemen are Agents for the sale of 
my Machines during the coming season. They have sample 
machines on exhibition at their several places of business, 
and also be happy to communicate any further information 
that may be desired.
