Is Flour and Wheat the market is without change in rates. 
The receipts of Canadian wheat were pretty large during 
the week—about 49,000 bushels—and it would seem that 
these are likely to increase. Oats have gone up 203 cents 
$ bushel. Barley has taken a start of 10 cents V bushel. 
There is none offered in market, however, and some of the 
brewers, who are in want, might pay 75 for a tip-top article. 
Considerable quantities are in movement for Albany and 
New York, the prices now quoted at these places being so 
much higher as to make shipment profitable. We are in¬ 
clined to think that only “earlybirds will catch the worm,” 
—as was the case last year,—for when once in market in 
any amount speculators have a remarkable faculty of 
bringing about “declines” for special occasions. 
Dairy.— In this department we note an advance in the 
price of butter—very little is offering and the demand is 
good. 
Wool and Pelts— Wool is 3 cents # pound better than 
last week. Sheep pelts 12% cents advance taken. 
Hay is still on the rise, $19,00 $ tun being obtained very 
readily at yesterday’s sales. There was not a single load 
in market at 10 o’clock this morning. 
Rochester Wholesale Prices. 
BOSTON, Sept, 29.—The demand for domestic wool has 
been good, and an advance of 2c has in most instances 
o- e n e J?nn ^tamed. The sales of fleece and pulled have been 
2w,000 lbs. fleece, ranging principally from 52@55c, and su¬ 
perfine and extra pul’ed at 42@5?c $ lb. The transactions 
in foreign have been very large, comprising 300 ballots

Grain —About 7,000 bushels of fall wheat found their way 
to market yesterday, and the whole was eagerly purchased 
at prices ranging from 98c to $1,10 for good samples. One 
superior lot commanded as high as $1,12, but this was an 
exceptional case. No sales were made under98c, and what 
was sold at this figure was of an inferior character The 
™b, n K rates for Spring Wheat were 80@90c, of which about 
500 bushels were offered, besides what was conveyed to the 
city by railway. The demand was good, and the whole 
moved off freely. Barley was again In good supply, up- 
wards of 8,000 bushels having been brought in by farmers. 
The buyers notwithstanding were keen In their competition, 
and no difficulty was experienced in disposing of all on 
the market. The lowest price paid was 65c, and from this 
prices ranged ,to 72c, at which figure several sales were 
effected. An increased demand and higher prices were 
noticeable in peas; the supply was tolerably fair, about 
1,000 bushels being offered. The lots quickly changed hands 
at 58c for fair samples, and 64%c for beet quality. The av¬ 
erage price paid was 60c. Oats remain scarce and in active 
demand at 30c. One lot yesterday was purchased at ibis 
rate, and immediately resold at an advance of 2c V bushel 
Two loads only of rye entered the market yesterday, and 
these were quickly purchased at 60c. The demand for this 
grain is very good .—Globe.

come out “whole”—some lost $5 $ head, and not a few $7

The YVooi Markets. 
NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—There continues a good demand 
for the medium fine grades of domestic fleeces, and prices 
are again fully lc $ lb. firmer. Dealers have been buying 
largely m the country recently, and manufacturers have 
also bought liberally in city, town, and country, so that the 
stock on the seaboard is unusually light for the season. 
Wools which at the opening sold at 37%@i0c, new command 
aQe Qualities so on in proportion. Sales of 
175,000 lbs. State and Western fleece, at 40@65c for common 
to 34 blood to choice selected Saxony, and 200.000 lbs. Cali¬ 
fornia at 1 o@3dc, for low mixed to fine sorts. Pulled is firm 
and in good request; sales of 95,000 lbs. at 82050c, as to 
quality. Foreign has been sparingly dealt in, but is held 
with increased firmness, under advices from London re¬ 
porting the success of the large auction offering of Colo¬ 
nial Woods; sales of 200 bales. Mestizo, Cordova and 
Smyrna on terms not disclosed. We append a report of 
the London sales from the Circular of Messrs. Buxton & 
Metcalfe: 
The third or principal series'of public sales of Colonial 
wool commenced on 21st July, and closed on the 31st lilt 
Total bales offered 89,202 Colonial, and 2,335 Foreign. The 
sale has been the largest on record, and on no former occa¬ 
sion has more animation and steadiness been manifested 
than throughout its whole course. Under the influence of 
restored peace in Europe, of full hope of employment, cheap 
money, and prospects of an early and abundant harvest, 
the unusually large supply seemed to be altogether over¬ 
looked, and the home manufacturers and combers again 
took the lead, at an advance of l%d ¥ lb. on most descrip¬ 
tions, and 2d upon combing sorts, over tl;e closing rates of 
last sales. Although foreign clothiers took some supply at 
once, combers hesitated for a few days, and when their 
competition became exercised, the value of their class of 
wool gradually increased, until itreached 2%d@3d advance, 
continuing firm all through the sales, owing mainly to the 
short supply.— Tribune. 
ALBANY, Sept. 29.—The demand for all descriptions 
lias been active throughout the week, and sales to a con¬ 
siderable extent have Deen made at improved prices, which 
the parties refuse to quote. The transactions embrace 
20,000 lbs. fine and common, and 28,000 tbs. fine fleece and 
14,000 tbs. super and extra pulled, all on p. t.— Journal,

The publishers have not been disappointed in perusing 
the first Chapters of 
MARIAN GUAY. 
They are what their knowledge of the abilities of the 
authoress led them to expect of the writer of “Lena Riv¬ 
ers,” “Tempest and Sunshine,” “Maggie Miller,” “Dora 
Deane,” “Cousin Maude,” “English Orphans,” “Home¬ 
stead on the Hillside,” “Meadow Brook, or, Ro 3 a Lee,” 
“Rosamond, or the Youthful Error,” and numerous other 
works of rare merit and almost unbounded popularity. 
Had she never written aught but these opening chapters, 
they would stamp her as one of the very best novelists of 
the age. They are certain that 
MARIAN GRAY 
will stand at the head of all that has gone before, from the 
pen of the fair and gifted authoress, and will take the front 
rank among the romances of the day.

G UANO.—We wonld call the attention of Guano Deal¬ 
ers, Planters and Farmers to the article which we have 
on hand and for sale at THIRTY PER CENT. LESS THAN 
PERUVIAN GUANO, and which we claim to be superior to 
any Guano or fertilizer ever imported or manufactured in 
this country. This Guano is imported by WM. H. WEBB, 
of New York, from Jarvis & Bakers' Island, in the “South 
Pacific Ocean,” and is sold genuine and pure as imported. 
It has been satisfactorily tested by many of our prominent 
Farmers, and analyzed by the most eminent and popular 
Agricultural Chemists and found to contain (os will be seen 
by our circulars) a large per centage of Rone Phosphate of 
Lime and Phosphoric Add , and other animal organic 
matter, yielding ammonia sufti ;ient to produce immediate 
abundant crops, besides substantially enriching the soil. It 
can be freely used without danger of burning the seed or 
plant by coming in contact with it, as is the case with some 
other fertilizers; retaining a great degree of moisture, it 
causes the plant to grow in a healthy condition, and as 
experience has proved./ree of insects. For orders in any 
quantity, (which will be promptly attended to,) or pam¬ 
phlets containing full particulars of analyses and tests of 
farmers, apply to JOHN B. SARDY, Agent.

THE CHEAPEST & MOST DURABLE IN USE. 
Wf. have been unable during the past three months to 
supply the demand for this Pipe, but have recently made 
arrangements for the manufacture on a more extended 
scale, and hope hereafter to be able to fill all orders 
promptly. 
This Pipe is made of Pine Timber, in sections eight feet 
long. _ It is easily laid down, not liable to get oat of order, 
and if properly laid, is the most durable of any kind of 
Pipe in use. 
We can produce any amount of evidence of its durability, 
capacity, strength and superiority over any other. 
The price of the size commonly used for farm purposes, 
is 4 cents per foot at the Factory. 
Our Manufactory is at Tonawanda, Erie Co., but orders 
should be directed to us at 44 Arcade, Rochester, N. Y.

In ail Acute Diseases, such as Fevers, Inflammations, Di- 
arrhass. Dysentery, Croup, Rheumatism, and such eruptive 
diseases as Scarlet Fever, Measles and Erysipelas—the ad¬ 
vantage of giving the proper remedies promptly is obvious, 
and in all such cases the specifics act like a charm. The en¬ 
tire disease is often arrested at once, and in all cases the 
violence of the attack is moderated, the disease shortened 
and rendered les? dangerous. Even should a physician 
afterwards have to be called, he will take the case at decided 
advantage from the previous treatment. 
Coughs and Colds, which are of such frequent occurrence, 
and which so often lay the foundation of diseased lungs, 
bronchitis and consumption, may all be at once cured by the 
Fever and Cough Pills. 
In all Chronic Diseasbs, such as Dyspepsia, Weak Stom¬ 
ach, Constipation, Liver Complaint, Piles, Female Debility 
and Irregularities, old Headache, Sore or Weak eyes,Catarrh, 
Salt Rheum, and other old eruptions, the case has specifics, 
whose proper application will afford a cure in almost every 
instance. Often the cure of a single chronic difficulty, such 
as Dyspepsia, Piles, or Catarrh, Headache, or Female Weak¬ 
ness, has more than paid for the case ten times over. 
FOR COUGHS AND COLDS.—A gentleman, well known 
In this City, in at our office, remarked; “Your COUGH 
PILLS have been of great value at our house this Winter — 
In every instance when one of the family has taken a cold, 
three or four doses of the COUGH and FEVER PILLS, 
given in alternation, have entirely cured the case in a day 
or two. The case has already paid for itself several times 
over.” 
COUGHS AND COLDS.—A gentleman, a public lecturer, 
took a severe cold the latter part of last month, while travel¬ 
ing and lecturing in northern Pennsylvania, though address¬ 
ing public audiences every evening, yet in two days, by the 
aid of the Specific he was entirely recovered, and enabled ta 
pursue his avocation without inconvenience. No publis 
speaker should be without them. 
BAD COLD.—A married lady of forty had taken a violent 
cold, which settled on her lungs, causing severe cough, pam 
in the side and considerable fever and hoarseness. Such 
colds were usually very lasting and troublesome, but by tak¬ 
ing the Specific Cough Pills four times per day, in three 
days she was entirely well. 
Chronic Catarrh.— A clergyman in a neighboring village 
had suffered for many years from an obstinate Catarrh, 
which had resisted all attempts for a cure. The obstruction 
and discharge from the nose was constant, destroying both 
taste and smell; and at times even interfering, from the 
change of voice, with his public ministrations. Almost in 
despair he commenced the use of our Catarrh Specific, and. 
after the use of only a few pills—one every night—found him¬ 
self improved; and ere he had used an entire box, ooul& 
consider himself entirely well. 
Dyspepsia or Weak Stomach, Cass 1.—A young man of 19 
had Dyspepsia for two years, attended witha severe pain 
in the pit of the stomach, coming on during eating or as 
soon as food reached the stomach, and continuing through 
the period of digestion. The pain was severe and aching, 
sometimes extending to the shoulders; less if he eat very 
digestible food, and proportionably more violent as his food 
was less carefully selected. It was also worse during warm 
weather. The bowels were very costive—stools hard and 
dry. Allopathic medicines only made him worse, and the 
prescriptions of a very regular Homoepath failed to help him. 
He commenced taking the Dyspepsia Pills, one pill three 
times per day, with prompt relief In little more than aweek 
this pain of two years’ standing had disappeared, and in a 
month more his bowels had become perfectly regular and he 
was entirely well. 
2. A young lady of 26 had been troubled with indigestion 
for several months, so as to render great care necessary ia 
the selection of k«*-foo<L After eating, the stomach became 
acid, food rising in her mouth with water, and unpleasant, 
heavy load-like sensation in her stomach, continuing some 
hours, frequently headache, bowels constipated, and a de¬ 
pressed mental condition. She commenced taking the Dys¬ 
pepsia Pills, one morning and night, and in less than a 
week almost every symptom of her disease had vanish id, 
and she felt like a new being.

and joy. There cannot only no injury arise in any case from 
their use, but the general influence upon the constitution,
