ALBANY MARKET — Sept 11 
FLOUR—We have only to notice a moderate home and 
eastern inquiry for flour, with a gradually increasing sup¬ 
ple and an augmented stock. In prices there is no mate 
rial change to note, but on the part of receivers there is 
more anxiety to realize, particularly for inferior descrip¬ 
tions. Sales in lots at $9,12(53,25 for inferior Black Rock; 
$9,60@9.75 for common to good State and Western, $9.75 
@$10,25 fir good ,o favorite do.; $10,25@10,50 for fancy 
do., and $10.50@11 for extra Ohio and Genesee. In Corn 
meal there is a moderate business doing at $1,69@1 75 IP 
100 lbs.

only to supply their immediate wants. Sales prime white 
Genesee, delivered at Central Depot, at $2,17. For a cargo

without finding a purchaser. Corn unsettled, but the 
market, is easier, with a moderate supply offering. Sales 
HnJ^81 for Western mixed afloat, 82c for small lots, and

SEED—Tir.olhv is in good request and selling firmly in 
the street at $3,75@4 for fair to good parcels. 
HOBS—The market continues unsettled, and the pros¬ 
pective prices for the new crop are as yet merely founded 
on conjecture. Some f,-w bales of last year's crop have 
changed bands at 3l@35c, and for the new crop 37KH)40c 
is asked, without any sales of moment being leported. 
BUFFALO MARKET-Sept. 1L

GRAIN—Supply of Wheat very light, and moderate mill¬ 
ing demand. Holders firm. Sales white Mich. $1.80. The

effective in new, uneven or stumpy ground; one half be¬

UNDERDRAINING TILE. 
The Rochester Brick and Tile Manufacturing Co., 
have on hand a large supply, and are constantly manufac¬ 
turing Tile of the different varieties and sizes used for un¬ 
derdraining faim lands. The extent of the failure of the 
wheat crop the present season has, more conclusively than 
it has been for many years before, shown the utility of 
Tile Draining—f..r in no instance, and it is safe to say on 
no premises where lands were properly urderdraiued, has 
wheat been known to be injured by winter kill.—which 
every one knows is caused bv the freezing and thawing of 
water standing upon the wheat. 
The following is a list of the prices for the different 
varieties and sizes of Underdrainiug Tile delivered at our 
premises in Brighton, one and a half miles east of the city 
of Rochester. The Company will deliver Tile on canal 
boats at fifty cen's advance per thousand, on their yard 
prices, and on vessels running on I-ake Ontario at reason¬ 
able charges, for transportation. Prices as follows : 
1 inch Pipe Tile.$7 00 per thousand.

_ chase a Piano Foite, will 
he more than paid, by vis- 
iting my rooms where he 
If Vr-^" can buy directly from the 
—— manufacturer, save the 
commissions ol an agent, aud select from the largest as¬ 
sortment in Western New York, as I have constantly on 
hand from 15 to 30 finished instruments, and from 50 to 
100 others in process of construction, of various sizes, pat¬ 
terns, aud prices, from $230 to $700 each. They embrace 
such a combination of excellencies, in their beauty, finish 
strength, (to keep in tune,) exquisite touch—soft, deep, 
rich, full aud melodious tones—as induces the belief, so 
often expressed by those who have bought, or used them 
that “ they surpass all others in the market.” Their su¬ 
periority was acknowledged when one of the most intelli¬ 
gent musical committees which ever acted on a similar 
occasion, ci carded us the three hig-hest premiums, when in 
competition with Chickering. Gilbert, Bacon & Ravens 
Wm. Hall & Sons, at the New York State Fair for 1851 
And the number since sold, with their daily increasing 
celebrity, fully justifies the report of that committee. They 
are manufactured of the best materials, in the moat per¬ 
fect manner, with metallic plates upon the Iso Chordai 
scale, with the Iso Bason Damper, and French Grand Ac¬ 
tion, expressly for retailing — (numerous applications at 
wholesale, being constantly refused,) and can only be had 
at my rooms, where the instruments will be shown, and ! 
all orders promptly attended to. As it is fully sett-'ed that 
a good Piano is cheap at almost any price, and a poor one 
only a nuisance ; aiui as I rely alone upon their merits to 
secure them favor with the public, I invite for them, the 
most careful examination and scrutiny, by all who wish to < 
buy at my manufactory and show rooms, Nos. 45, 47, 49 & ]

N. Y. STATE AGRICULTURE SOCIETY. 
14th Annual Cattle Show anrl LJthibition of the 
New York state Agricultural Society, 
Held in connection icith the American Institute and New 
York Horticultural Society at Hamilton Square tn the 
city of New York, October .id, 4th, ith, and 6tA, 1854. 
The Annual Exhibition of the Society w il 1 be held as 
above, in the city of New York, from Oct. 3d to 6th, on 
which occasion, upwards of Eight Thousand Dollars are 
offered as premiums, to be competed for, with Cattle, 
Horses, Sheep, Swine, Poultry, Dairy Products, Farm Im¬ 
plements and Machinery, Domestic and other Manufac¬ 
tures, Flowers, Fruits, and articles in all the Mechanical 
Departments—the full particulars of which will be found 
in the List of Premiums published. A large portion of 
the Premiums are open to competition by persons out of 
the State. 
It is believed that this combined exhibition will be the 
most extensive ever held in this country, and will afford to 
exhibitors advantages never before offered, in every de- 
partmentof the Exhibition, combining the entire industrial 
interests of the Farmer, Manufacturers, Mechanics, Horti¬ 
culturists, and Artizans of our country. 
Persons desirous of examining the List of Premiums and 
Regulations, or of entering stock, implements or other 
articles for exhibition, will please apply tu B. P. Johnson, 
Sec’y, State Agricultural Rooms, Albany; at the Rooms 
of the American Institute, 361 Broadway; or Janes, Bee¬ 
be & Co., 366 Broadway, New York, where the Premium 
List and Regulations will be furnished, and every desired 
information in relation to the Exhibition given. 
Stalls and fodder for stock, and erections for the other 
articles, will be furnished in season, so that all articles de¬ 
signed for exhibition can be taken to the show grounds on 
their arrival in the city, where they will be provided for 
and protected. 
The following Railroads have agreed to transport all 
stock and articles for the exhibition, free — requiring the 
freight to be advanced on delivery and re-paid on return of 
the articles, with evidence of being exhibited. &c.: Hudson 
River, New York & Erie, New York City & Buffalo, Ithaca 
and Owego. Canandaigua and Elmira. New York Central, 
Rome and Watertown, New York & Harlem, Long Island’ 
Troy & Boston : and it is presumed all the Railroads lead¬ 
ing into New York will afford the like facility. 
Application to transport articles should be made in sea¬ 
son to the nearest station Agent.

THE HORSE, THE HORSE! 
Noblest of Domestic Animals, 
And the one most frequently ill-treated, neglected, and 
abused. We have just published a book so valuable to 
every man who owns a Horse, that no one should willing¬ 
ly be without it. It is entitled 
THE MODERN HORSE DOCTOR, 
And is from the pen of that celebraled English Veterinary 
Surgeon, Dr. GEO. H. DADD, well known for many yetrs 
in this country, as one of the most successful, scientific 
and popular writers and lecturers in this branch of medi¬ 
cal and surgical science. Tile book which he now offers to 
the public, is the result of many years’ study and practiced 
experience which few have had. 
From the numerous and strong commendations, of dis¬ 
tinguished men and the newspaper press, we select the 
following: 
Extract from a letter from Hon. John H. Clifford, Ex- 
Governor of Mass. 
New Bedford, May 11, 1854. 
Dr Dadd,— Dear Sir: —I nope your new work on the 
noblest cieature that man has ever been permitted to hold 
in subjection, the horse, will meet with mat success which 
all your efforts in this direction so well deserve. 
Your obedient servant, 
John H. Clifford. 
From Hon. Marshall P. Wilder. 
Boston. May 13,1854. 
Dr. Dadd,— My Dear Sir:— I am greatly obliged to you 
for the valuable treatise, the results of your own investi¬ 
gations, which you have recently issued, hoping that it 
may meet with the patronage of a discriminating commu¬ 
nity. 
I remain yours with great regard, 
Marshall P. Wilder. 
The Modern Horse Doctor, by G. H. Dadd, is a manual 
of genuine science, and ought to be owned and studied on 
the score of humanity, as well as interest by every man 
who owns a horse— foston Congregationalist. 
Dr. Dadd ha^hadfereat experience in the cure of sick 
horses and exflain^the sec* t of his success iu this vol. 
—A. Y- Tribune. 
The author of this work is well known as a most skillful 
veterinary surgeon. His book is based on the soundest 
common sense, and as a hand-book for practical use we 
know of nothing to compare with it.— Yankee Blade. ’ 
We know Dr. Dadd well, and are satisfied that he pos- 
sesses most important qualifications for preparirg such a 
book as this — N E. Farmer. 
Messrs. Jewett & Co. have just published a verv valua¬ 
ble work by Dr. Dadd, a well known veterinary surgeon 
on the causes, nature and treatment of diseases, and lame¬ 
ness in horses— Farmer s Cabinet, 
This is one of the most valuable treatises on the subject 
ever published; and no owner of that noblest of the ani¬ 
mal race, the horse, should be without it Especially 
should it be in the hands of every hotel and livery-stable 
keeper. To many a man would it be worth hundreds of 
dollars every year.— Ind. Democrat, Concord. 
By far the most learned aud copious work on the horse 
and tiis diseases we have ever seen.— N. Y. Evangelist. 
One of the greatest and most commendable qualities of 
this work, is, it is practical and plain to the comprehen¬ 
sion of those farmers aud others for whom it is designed. 
The course of treatment favors generally a more sanative 
and rational system of medication than that recommended 
in any previously existing works on farriery. No farmer 
or owner of a horse shou d be without this book. Stable 
keepers, stage proprietors and liackmen, we believe would 
derive profit by having at least one copy hung up in their 
stables for use and reference by their stable men.— Daily 
News, Philadelphia. 
There is more common sense in this book than any of 
the kind we have ever seen, and farmers and owners of 
horses would find it a matter of economy to posse-8 them¬ 
selves of it. It will be of more service than the counsel of 
a score of ordinary doctors.— Albany Courier. 
We deem this decidedly the best and most reliable work 
on the “ Cause, Nature, and Treatment of Disease and 
Lamenessin Horses,” everpublished .—Nantuekct Enquirer. 
What we have read of this book induces us to regard it 
as a very sensible and valuable work; and we learn that 
those much more competent to judge of its value, have 
given it their unqualified approval.— Ev. TV av. Boston. 
This book supplies a great desideratum which Skinner’s 
admirable treatise on the Horse did not fill. Every man 
may be his own veterinary surgeon, and with much great- 
er safety to this noble animal than by trusting him to the 
treatment of the empirical intiuerants who infest the 
country. It is well illustrated, and should be purchased 
by every maa who owns a horse.— Ev. Mirror, New York. 
This is a book that should be forthwith put into the 
hands of all who own or drive horses, whether for the 
dray or gig, for the plow, omnibus or road, for hard service 
or pleasure.— McMakin s Courier, Philadelphia. 
A good clearly written book, which should be in the 
hands of every man who has a horse whose ills his affec¬ 
tion or his purse make it worth while to cure.— Bangor 
Mercury. 
This is a scientific, thorough and complete treatise upon 
the diseases to which one of the noblest of animals is sub¬ 
ject, and the remedies which they severally require .—Troy 
Daily Budget. 
It is a val liable book to those who have the care of Hor¬ 
ses.— Hartford Herald. 
He is not worthy to have a horse in his care, who will 
not use such a work to qualify himself for his duties to 
this animal.— Commonwealth, Boston.
