was exhibited. There were eighty-two different ma¬

Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, August 18,1867. J 
Gold is firm; sales in New York were made yesterday 
at 140)4. Government securities advanced somewhat In 
the curly part of last week, but for a day or two prices 
have been weaker. There are many points of similarity 
just now between the condition of mercantile aud mon¬ 
etary affairs In Great Britain and In this country. Manu¬ 
facturing and general business Is nsually duU in both 
countries. In London and New York, the great financial 
centers of the two countries, money is a drag in the mar¬ 
ket, and rates of interest very low. Money In London Is 
quoted at 1)£@2 1ft cent., which Is equal to about S@4 F 
cent. In New York. The New York quotations for a few 
days have been S@4 9ft cent, on Governments, and 5 ft 
cent, on mixed collaterals. In fact, there seems to be a 
plethora of money In all the commercial towns of Eu¬ 
rope, und Hie trade reports show great stagnation. The 
comparison might be extended to the crops, which are 
excellent in Europe as well as the United States. As 
with us the bay crop on the other side of the Atlantic is 
more abundant than the average, and was never secured 
in better condition. 
Wheat— Farmers continue to sell freely. The price 
In this city, yesterday, for red wheat was #2@2,07: white 
Michigan, #2®2.23. Soules wheat Is rather scarce and 
would bring ?2,2E©2,50. There Is no great change in the 
price of flour. Priees are rather unsettled and will be 
for some days to come. 
Wool.— There is very little doing in wool in this lo¬ 
cality. Prices remain as heretofore, the range being 
from S5@40c, though for some days buyers, in this city» 
have not paid over 37>jc. 
Charming Stories —The short stories in the LEDG¬ 
ER, begun and finished in the same number, are the 
most delightful stories contained In any publication in 
the world.

The official list of those who were made Knights of 
the Legion of Honor, as published in tbe Paris papers, 
reads thus: “Mone. Elias Howe, Jr., fabricant de 
machines a coudre , exposant which translated into 
English, reads: “Mr. Ellas Howe, Jr., maker of 
Bewing machines, exhibiting.” 
From this it will be seen that the medal awarded to 
Wheeler & WilBon was for a “Buttonhole Machine,” 
and not for the Sewing Machine.
