The accounts from almost every agricultural spot
in the Union, where soils have been thrown,
ND. as well as from the old and we'll titled farms
in the different States and Territories, speak most
encouragingly of the general average crop, par
ticularly IN breadstuifs, such as are intended
for the foreign market rlrs-3 q 11rf 6p-i ~
Our fall trade has set spiritedly in, and many
farmers and merchants from the West and !
South, who are now in the. city, confirm
these reports in relation to the condition Of
the crops. Within our own State, aud par
ticularly along the Mohawk valley, the condi-
tion of the crops has scarcely ever presented "a
more healthy or promising appearance; and we
find considerable hustle and animation already IN
the labor market by those men who have
had the good sense and industry to procure en-
ployment for the fall season.
There are crowds of emigrants In want of
employ, always, in New York and in our
Atlantic cities, anxious and willing to have
the same opportunities, and those farmers
who wish to make an early harvesting,
should bear this fact in mind. Breadstnffs In
tended for the foreign market, such as have been
grown in the Western States IN particular, it
should be remembered also, are subject TO the in.
fuences of the weather IN the winter months, as
regards transit through our lakes, rivers and
canals; and the farmer or corn-factor,r who in
tends to dispose of or make sale of this class of
provisions for the foreign market, should bear
this particularly in mind. Hence the necessity
for the quick employment of hands for a speedy
and safe laying up of the harvest for the foreign
market. "qii 'p'f
The condition of Europe at ,present--the con-
vulsed aspect of affairs in general throughout
the entire continent-has diverted the atten-.
zion Of Its farmers and agrlculturists, good deal
this season, from the cultivation of their crops.
We read, to be sure, of the founshlng state of
the crops IN general, in the old country but not
withstanding these favorable accounts, it should
be understood that scarcely three-fourths the
average crop has been grown this season, In con-
sequence of the untoward circumstances to which
we refer. Our farmers and agucnturlsts, and our
| provision merchants, In general, would do well,
! then TO profit by this timely intmaton; and while
| labor is at present abundant, they ought to
make timely efforts to secure it, to enable them
selves to make trade with due advantage.
The emigrants who, also, are now scattered in
all quarters about the Atlantic cities, should seek
market for their labor among the farmers. Many
have grown more than the average crop this sea-
son in America, and have done so for the foreign
markets. The next few months VIII present a
l good deal of hustle and activity throughout the
entire Union, among the farmers and agricuurists,
whom we would again remlnd--we mean such of
them intend to dispose of their produce for the
foreign markets-that speedy work will be neces-
! sary to insure "quick sales, and heavy purse"
