Grain. —The crop of new wheat of this State is now coming to 
market; the first sales were made on Friday last; both lots were 
afloat; one, a parcel of 1600 bushels from Wayne co., sold at 106c., 
for milling here, and the other, 1000 bushels, part of a load of 2600 
bushels, from Onondaga county, sold at 106c. to go East. The first 
sale of new Genesee wheat last year was made on the 8th of August 
at 130c. to arrive, but the first sale made afloat was on the 9th of 
August, 1400 bushels Wayne county, at 12Sc. In 1849 the first sale 
was made at 133£c.; flour selling here both years at the times men¬ 
tioned, at $5.75a5.87 for pure Genesee; the same quality of flour can

slightly mixed with Genesee, and 107al08c. for Genesee; the sales 
reached 10,000 bushels. 
In Rye we have no sales to report. Oats have fallen off both in 
supply and demand; the receipts of Western during the season, have 
been to a fair extent, but the bulk of the arrivals have been in an un¬ 
sound condition; the sales during the month have been about 150,000 
bushels, closing at 40a41c. for fair to good samples of Western, and 
42a43c. for State. Corn continues to come forward very freely, es¬ 
pecially Western Mixed, the greater portion of which is in an un¬ 
sound condition and prices for this description range from 44a53c. for 
heated and damaged; the sales of the month add up 250,000 bushels^ 
including damaged, quoted above, and 55£ for Western mixed and 
yellow round. The new crop of Barley is represented to be in good 
condition. Some samples have already been exhibited and contracts 
for future delivery made, but not to any great extent; the recent sales 
to arrive are 4,000 bushels two rowed, Jefferson county, to arrive by 
the first boats, at 75c., and 3,000 do. four rowed from Niagara county,

Important to Farmers and Planters. 
Mr. Editor —Through your columns, especial attention is invited 
to the following— 
A T the next annual State Fair, to be holden at Rochester, in Sep¬ 
tember next, I design to present for competition, a small Portable 
Steam Grist Mill (Conical Burr Stone) got up in a much more simple 
and cheap form than has ever before been exhibited; and challenge 
all manufacturers of Mills to a test; and that I will operate one of 
these Cone Mill-, on the Fair ground, with 25 per cent less power 
than any other kind of mill that is made, doing the same amount of 
work in the same given time. CHARLES ROSS, 
Rochester, New-York. 
EXTRACT FROM THE TRANSACTIONS of the New-York 
State Agricultural Society, 1S48:—Another labor saving Machine, 
useful to the stock feeder, was offered in a Portable Grist Mill, with 
Burr Stone, horizontally placed, and capable of grinding seven bush¬ 
els of food per hour. 
As ground food for cattle leads to rapid fattening, these and such 
like Machines, may well claim the Farmer’s attentive consideration. 
B. P. JOHNSON, Secretary. 
Agricultural Rooms, Albany, September 23d, 1850— C. Ross,— 
Dear Sir:—In 1849, the Committee says, “ that your Portable Grist 
Mill, performs well, and has been so often commended, that this Com¬ 
mittee think they cannot add to its reputation. 
B. P. JOHNSON, 
Secretary N. Y. State Ag. Society. 
N. B.—This Mill has taken the highest premium at the State Fair, 
for the last four years, it having been exhibited and worked by horse 
power, at Saratoga, Buffalo, Syracuse and Albany. 
From the Georgia Telegraph.—Extract from Ex-Governor Troup, 
“ Communication"” Mr."Editor ;—Valdorta, Laurens county Geor¬ 
gia.—I have tried the Patent Conical Burr Stone Mill, for grinding 
Corn, and have found it to answer admirably. No Planter that is not 
in the vicinity of a public Mill, ought to be without oue, if he can af¬ 
ford to purchase, and his family is sufficiently large to require the use 
of it, otherwise I would suggest that several Farmers of a neighbor¬ 
hood, should unite to purchase one, in common, which being estab¬ 
lished in a central position, would be accessible to all. 
Very respectfully, G. M. TROUP.
