[Review of the Market for the last month.] 
Albany, Sept. 20, 1850. 
Our market since our last report has been active, though not more 
so than is general at this season of the year. A good business has 
been done in the leading articles of produce. 
FLOUR.—The early part of the month called forth but a light supply 
of flouf, the demand being confined mainly to the usual city and east¬ 
ern trade. Within the last week, however, a more active inquiry has 
sprung up, chiefly from the east, whence buyers have come forward 
freely and purchases to a fair extent have been made, chiefly stimu¬ 
lated by reports of the extension of the potato rot in the eastern states. 
Quotations during the month have fallen off, upon the increasing re¬ 
ceipts by canal; at present they are firm, with a tendency on the 
low grades to advance, while a contrary course is anticipated with 
the high grades. The sales add up 40,000 brls, at $4a$4.25 for com¬ 
mon State, $4,25a$4,37A for old Western, which is scarce, Si,50a 
SI.62^ for fresh ground State, $4,62£a$4,75 for new Western, 
$4’87£a$5 for pure Genesee, $5 for fancy Western, $5,12|-a$5,37£ 
for fancy Genesee, and $5,50a$6,50 for extra do. Buckwheat is 
beginning to arrive and sells at $2 per cwt. 
GRAIN.—The market for grain, especially for Wheat and Barley, 
has been very active. In Wheat the transactions have reached 
108,000 bush., 98,000 of which have been of prime white Genesee, 
the balance Ohio and Mediterranean; the sales of Wheat for this 
market are unprecedented in amount; the market closed with our 
last report at 116all7 for prime samples of Genesee, and after falling 
to 107c, on the 31st ult., has recovered nearly all it had lost, and is 
firm at 115all5£c for good samples; the other descriptions sold at 
95al00c for Mediterranean, 95a97c for Ohio, and 87-^c for a lot of red 
Ohio. In canal Rye we have no sales to note; in the street 75c is 
paid. In Corn there is less doing, and the transactions are confined 
entirely to Western mixed; during a portion of the month the market 
has been neglected, but within a few days a more active demand 
has sprung up, caused in part by the condition of the potato crop, 
and our highest figure in the last report is fully maintained, with a 
tendency to a further advance; the sales are 89.000 bush., at prices 
varying from 59 to 63, closing firm at the higher figure. Oats have 
been dull of sale until within a few days, when a light stock in New 
York stimulating prices, we have a more active market, with pur¬ 
chases for future delivery; the sales are 66,000 bush., at a range of 
39 to 4l£c, with sales at 41Jon the spot, and 40a41 for lots to arrive 
within a few days, and for delivery before the 10th of October. The 
opening of the Barley season has been more than usually brisk; the 
light stock of malt in the hands of brewers has caused a ready sale 
and active demand for all lots of prime barley offering, and holders 
have met the demand promptly, the receipts by canal being in ad¬ 
vance of those of the corresponding period last year, about 300,000 
bush. The bulk of the barley coming forward is discolored, and 
purchases of these descriptions are made at a low figure, or are en¬ 
tirely neglected. There are various opinions afloat as to the extent 
of the present barley crop, and as a consequence as to the price 
the article will command before the close of the canal; holders, 
almost without exception, represent the crop much short of last year; 
some as high as 400,000 bush., and of course look lor high figures all 
this season ; buyers, on the other hand, hold off and buy only as iheir 
necessities require, or as the article may suit. All agree that the 
crop is inferior to that of last year, and that it is not so large. Our 
sales reported are to the extent of 220,000 bush., of which 136,000 is 
two-rowed, at quotations ranging from 70 to 80 for both descriptions; 
the market for ordinary to good two-rowed may be quoted at70a72c, 
and for four-rowed at 75a77c ; last sales were made at 7l£ for two- 
rowed, and 75£a77c for four-rowed, the higher figure for a very bright 
sample ; in the street 72a75c. 
FEED.—The sales are about 90,000 hush., at 9al0 for bran, llal4c 
for shorts, 15al8c for second quality, and SOalOOc for middlings. 
WHISKEY.—The demand has been good and always in excess 
of the supply; the sales are 1300 brls. closing firm at 27 £ for S. P. 
SALT.—Sales to a fair extent at 10al0£ for bags, and 100c for brls. 
HOPS.—Some samples of the new crop have been received and 
show well; the condition of the English crop, upou which £200,000 
duty is backed, forbids high prices here. Sales of the crop of 1849 
at 15c. 
SEED.—Flax seed arrives sparingly and sells at 125c. Timothy 
is firm and in demand at S3,37£. 
BROOM CORN.—Sales of Ohio have been made at 8£c. 
PROVISIONS.—No demand beyond the retail trade. No change 
in figures.

A New Hardy Climber. 
THE new and beautiful Climber, Calestigia pubescens, recently 
introduced from China, by Mr. Fortune, proves perfectly hardy 
in New England, having stood in the. grounds here the past winter, 
without the least protection. Trained to a single pillar, say 10 feet 
in height, it is a very striking and beautiful object from the middle 
of June till cold weather, during which time it is covered with a 
profusion of its large double flowers, of a delicate rose color. It is 
very ornamental planted in patches like the verbenas; makes an 
admirable screen, and is very effective in young plantations, belts, 
or shrubberies, trailing prettily on the surface, and running up 
among the lower branches of trees in a very picturesque manner. 
It is, therefore, particularly suited for ornamenting cemeteries and 
public gardens. Its culture is very simple, and it thri ves in any good 
garden soil. When required in considerable quantities, it is best to 
start it under glass in February or March, but the tubers may also 
be planted in the open ground in May. The subscriber will send to 
order, by mail or express, October 20th, tubers sufficient for 100 
plants, at $5.00; 50 plants, $3.00; with directions for propagation 
and culture. 
Strong plants in pots, in April, $1 per pair. B. M. WATSON.
