Rochester, Sept. 35,1S66. $ 
The weather, s5r.ee our last Issue, with the exception 
of a couple of days, has been very unfavorable to the 
maturing autumnal crops; to seeding operations and to 
business generally. Excessive rain storms, followed by 
quite severe frost*, have, been the marked characteristics 
of the week, but in these respects Western New Vork 
has been more favored ihnn the central Western States 
where floods, almost unprecedented, have caused partial 
destruction to farm crops while entailin': severe loss to 
the railroad companies in that section of :hc Union. The 
present year has been remarkable lor the extreme heat 
of one portion of the summer and lor the low tempera¬ 
ture and the moisture ot the othcT. So far wc believe 
the untimely Irons have not, in this section, done much 
damage to the corn crop except in very low situations, 
while, though a superabundance of rain has fallen, we 
have escaped the floods so damaging m the West. As 
we write, (he weather is ol the old fashioned Indian 
summer order imparting hopefulness lor the; Immediate 
future. The flour market remain* without much change. 
Sales limited mainly to the retail trade at quotations be¬ 
low. Wheat Is in limited supply at about previous quo¬ 
tations. Barley is in good demand at 85c. for two-rowed 
and $1 for (our-rowed. 
Wool.—A s, for several months past, the wool market is 
Cat. The wool growers are holding their clips, as a gen¬ 
eral thing,ill anticipation of improved prices. The east¬ 
ern demand is very light. Manufacturers are runtng 
their milts sparingly, u airing to see what will turn up the 
coining winter. 
Corrox—There has been an improved inquiry during 
the week, with sale* of low middling at irom 80@S0>fc. 
In regard to the New Vork market the Herald of the 17th 
contains tiie following : 
The market remained very linn for medium and high 
grades, which continued very scarce. Low grades were 
Offered freely. The sales were about 3,000 bales, largely 
to spinners and shippers. Receipts 521 bales. We quote:

Great Storms at the West. 
For several days last week great rain storms 
prevailed in Ohio and other States at the West. 
They have done much damage, washing away 
railroad bridges and destroying other property 
to aa immense amount. 
From six o’clock on Tuesday evening, thelSth 
inst., to seven o’clock A. M., the 19th, two and 
one-quarter inches of rain foil iu Cincinnati. 
Two spans of the big Miami Bridge on the Ohio 
and Mississippi Railroad, near Lawrenceburg, 
were carried away. Damage $30,000. 
At Chillicothe, O., and at Pittsburg, Pa., the 
rain had been very severe, doing much damage. 
Railroads, bridges, crops, and other kinds of 
property, had suffered extensively. The Ohio 
River is at its flood height. 
At Dayton, Ohio, the bank of the canal broke, 
and the water 6wept everything moveable in its 
course. The greater part of the city was sub¬ 
merged, and the country for miles laid waste. 
A dispatch from Cincinnati of Sept. 21, says, in 
consequence of the damage done by the flood and 
the impassible condition of the railroads leading 
to Dayton, the Ohio State Board of Agriculture 
have ordered the postponement of the State Fair 
until the 16th of October. 
The storm in Indianapolis, (Ind,,) and vicinity, 
commenced the iGth, and lasted several days. 
A portion of the city was flooded. Streams 
were higher than ever before known. Railroad 
communication was entirely suspended. The 
rain was extensive throughout the whole State, 
especially in the central portion. 
An Indianapolis dispatch of Sept, 20th, says 
“the corn crop in the low lands along the rivers 
and streams in this section is greatly damaged by 
the flood. Trains on all the railroade centering 
hereiwill run regularly to-morrow, except the 
Indiana Central and the Louisville roads, both 
of which will suffer severely for several days 
before communication is fully re-established.” 
Much rain has fallen in the vicinity of Chicago, 
causing freshets which have destroyed many

Tlic Crops in Europe. 
Bv the steamer Java, which arrived in New 
York on the 21st inst,, we learn that a great deal 
of rain continued to fall in England, and the 
still oustanding crops were sustaining consider¬ 
able damage. 
A French Agricultural journal sums up as 
follows the most recent accounts of the harvest: 
In France there is neither the ordinary quan¬ 
tity nor quality of wheat, and but lor tree im¬ 
portation a scarcity would succeed the plenty of 
the past three years. 
England is also beginning to complain, not of 
quantity but quality. 
Russia has had an excellent wheat harvest; 
also iu Spain the crop is good. 
Italy docs not seem to be much more fortunate 
than France. 
The locusts have ravaged Algiers. 
In some of the German States, the deficit is 
greater than in France. In Northern Germany 
the crops appear to he about a medium yield. 
The Southern provinces of Hungary have suf¬ 
fered extensively.

America brings Rio de Janeiro papers to the 25th

report fighting of a most stubborn and sangui¬

was a loss ol 4,200 killed and wounded in the 
allied armies, and an approximate amount in 
the Paraguayan army, the latter fighting within 
intrenchments, and consequently losing less.”
