Answers to Inquiries* 
Pigs. —Inform me through the next number of your 
paper, what Essex and Sussex pigs of each sex will cost 
—whether they could be sent to Terre Haute, Ind., by 
express, or how I could get them there, and who would 
be a proper person whom I could address, to purchase 
and send them to me. W. S. T. Washington, Ind,., 
Sept. 13, 1853. 
The pigs could be sent to Terre Haute by express. 
The prices vary from $15 to $30 per pair. For persons 
to address, see-advertisements in the Country Gentle¬ 
man and the Cultivator. 
Stowell’s Evergreen Corn. — I wish to know 
through the Country Gentleman, at what time the Ev¬ 
ergreen or Stowell corn should be plucked—or what 
should be the consistency of the corn when it is picked, 
and how it should be kept after it is tied—whether in 
a dry or damp place—laid down or hung up, K. Nor¬ 
ris. Sept. 1853. 
Having, in common with several of our friends, 
found this corn of little value, we would request some 
one who has been more successful, to answer the above 
inquiry. - 
Farewell Cattle.— Can you or any of j T our sub¬ 
scribers tell me through the Cultivator, where I can get 
a full blooded Bakewell Bull, not exceeding two years 
old, and what will be the price of him ? Charles T. 
Graves. East Cleveland, Sept. 24, 1853. 
We know of no pure Bakewell or Long-horned cat¬ 
tle, in this country. 
Review of the Wool Market for September. 
Prices have remained stationary during this month, 
principally by reason of the uncertainty which has 
hung over the question of war or peace in Europe, and 
from the operation of a rather stringent money market. 
There has, however, sprung up quite an active demand 
near the close of the month, and advanced prices are 
obtained as compared with the lowest point reached in 
August, and the early part of this month. The reac¬ 
tion has taken place, and prices must now rule high 
until the next clip. 55a65c. is now a fair quotation for 
good to prime full blood Merino, and 65 to 85c. for 
Saxon. Common and grades range from 40 to 55c. 
Manufacturers have not yet become fully aware of 
the great falling off in the wool growing business of 
the Union. In this State alone the decrease of sheep 
since 1845 has been about four millions, and in all the 
New-Englaud States the decrease has been equally 
marked. There has been an increase West, but not in 
any proportion to the decrease East. It is true that by 
the use of old woolen rags, which have become a very 
important staple of commerce, and the increased adul¬ 
teration of woolen cloths by substituting cotton and 
flax-cotton, the manufacturers have not been so observ¬ 
ant as they might otherwise have been. The fact ex¬ 
ists, nevertheless, and they will become aware of it in 
due time. Wool must rule high.— Wool Grower 
New-York Horse Market. 
The New- York Tribune, in addition to its extensive 
and accurate weekly reports of the Cattle Market, now 
furnishes a weekly review of the New-York Horse 
Market, prepared with great labor by Solon Robin¬ 
son. In his report for last week, the writer says: 
We have never found the state of the Horse Market 
more dull than to-day. The.number in the street for 
sale foots up 708, which is only 6 difference from last 
report. This is evidently too many for the demand, 
and holders will some of them have to hold on at a loss 
or sell for the same. The number sold during the last 
week, 317, is 67 more than for the week reported last, 
but nothing like what it was in the Spring, or what 
was generally expected this Fall. It is thought by 
some that a good many purchasers are holding back 
for the great Horse Show at Springfield next week, 
when, it is supposed that a great many fine Horses will 
be exhibited, offered for sale, perhaps low. Our opinion 
is, that under the influence of a flush Money market 
last Spring, and a large demand for Horses for City 
Railroad purposes, the prices were inflated a little too 
high, and now must come down to a fair standard be¬ 
fore the market recovers its full activity. 
Albany Market, October 15, 1853. 
During the week, and up to the receipt of the steamer’s 
news, the market ru ed very steady for Flour, with a fair de¬ 
mand for the better kinds; but after the receipt of the news, 
prices of the low and middling grades were put up 12£e., and 
sales to a fair extent have been made at the advanced prices. 
Business, however, has been materially checked by the ad¬ 
vance iii river freights, Wheat ruled steady up to yesterday, 
when the market became unsettled. Holders asked higher 
rates, and have not yet been met by buyers. In the early part 
of the week Com became depressed, but - after the foreign 
news a belter- feeling prevailed and better prices were rea¬ 
lized. Barley lias ruled firm, and the daily receipts have* 
been freely taken at full prices. Gats have been in active 
demand at rather improving fates. . 
FLOUR AND MGAL —The improvement noticed yester¬ 
day in the low and medium grades of Western and State 
Flour lias been maintained but with only a moderate busi¬ 
ness doing. There is but little doing for the east, which is 
attributable to the absence of vessels. The home and river 
demand is quite moderate as is usual on the closing day of 
the week. The belter grades are held fi mly. The sales of 
the morning aggregate 1,000 bis. We quote :—

Corn Meal is in fair request and sales aie making at 1,62a

2.33 per cwt. 
GRAIN.—Our market for V/HEAT is quiet and unsettled. 
Red Wisconsin is held at $1,46 and prime While Genesee at 
$1.58, which is from lc. to 2c. above the views of buyers. 
The sppply is moderate. CORN is better under the news, 
with a fair Eastern demand. Sales 4,000 bu. Western mix¬ 
ed, in lots, at lie Road at 83. an ad .ance of 2c. on previous 
sales. BARLEY rules steady and firm, with a fair supply 
and a good home and shipping inquiry. Sales 20.700 bu., in¬ 
cluding 7,700 bu. prime two-rowed at 81c., and 13,000 bu. 
prime four-rowed at 8?£a88. Western is held higher and is 
quiet, four rowed.Chicago was offered on ^Change at 85, and 
83| bid. OATS are buoyant and in active request. Sales 
10.000 bu. prime Western at 50 Fair to good State may be 
quoted nominal at 47£;t49. with nope -offering except to ar¬ 
rive. 
FEED—A firm market with a light supply. Sales. 4.000 
bu 24 lb, feed at $1 per 100 lbs 
HOPS—New are held at 35a36c, without sale*. Six bales 
old at 33c. The N. Y. Times says Hops are still coming in 
very freely, and weakening the market. The receipts of ihe 
past six days have reached 1300 bales—an extraordinary 
quantity at this period. The week’s sales comprise 130 bales 
of this year’s growth at 32a35e for first sort; and *26n28c for 
second .do peril). Offers hive been made by country holders 
of Hops to deliver them in this city at 27 per lb. in parcels of 
10.000 lbs. The expectation of tree imports from England 
and Germany has occasioned some anxiety among owners, 
and they now tender and sell their supplies rather eagerly, at 
the greatly reduced figures above mentioned.— Eve. Journal. 
WOOL MARKET. 
NEW YORK. Oct. 15.—The market for all descriptions of 
this staple during the present week has been rather quiet, 
owing to the great stringency in the money market. Ti.c 
sales are 40.000 lbs washed African at 30a32c. In fieece and 
pulled we know of no transactions, the slock of both being 
lighter than is usual at this season of the year.
