. We haye, within the past ten days, conversed
with several individuals connected with our
mercantile houses, who have been travelling on
business in the States at Illinois, Michigan, In
diana and Kentucy, as welt as through our oil,.
State, and the accounts they give Of the crops,
all seem to agree that the grain crop, such as
barley, oats and wheat, present most promise
ing appearance, and that the yield from these
crops, win be, in all probability, very large
Corn, likewise, looked very well, and the wea-
ther continues TO be extremely favorable for the
full development of not only this, but all other
kinds Of cereal crops Wheat barley, and rye,
is almost, If not quite out of danger, so that we
may safely, we think, came to the conclusion
that the crops Of the present year, will be I'M
commonly Target in the Western States. We
also have ascertained that there is considerable
excitement in various parts Of those States, in
regard to the prices hogs may rule at the COM
ing winter, and that quite a speculative feeling
was manifested--three and one-half dollars per
cwf., gross being freely paid for stock hogs.
The feeling is no doubt, predicated upon the
high rates which have been obtained for Pork
this serson; as il is very common rule, and we
may say q fatal error, which agriculturists gen.
orally adopt, or fall into under all such circnpn.
stances, that high prices season lead TO high
prices the next season; now this is not only az
incorrect theory, but the very reverse is almost
always the case. 1t sumetimes happens, that il
consequence Of continued failure in the crop,
of any article, that high rates may be sustained
for a series of years, but this is an exception
and can have but little application in the case Of
the Corn crop, and the supply and demand fol
Hogs
Should the present, or even somewhat lowe
rates, be sustained for the hog product until thu
coming in Of the new supply, (and we have bu
little doubt that they will, particularly for Porl
and Lard) we have no doubt but that the Ho,
trade The coming winter will open atAigh rates
but the important question to be considered is
can such rates be sustained?

has denied them anything like general circula-
ton. Their value, however, is fully appreciated
by the whole profession, who, we have no doubt,
will hasten to avail themselves of the opportunity
of possessing themselves of the republication of
Messrs. Little & Brown, which can be had at less
than one-fiith the expense of the original works.
From Lhe Boston Courier.
The enterprising publishers have here presented
TO the legal profession, as we Judge, long-felt
desideTattsm--a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851. This is unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
us than our own court house The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with it.
The page is large, fair, white, and readable. The
table of cases and index seem to be prepared with
much care and diligence. The former strikes US
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
TO the case and page of the volume, but containing
also a short abstract of the subject of each
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication is TO be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave volumes, for the remark
ably low price of $40 per annum We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail TO be
useful the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.-P Philadelphia Legal Iltelligencer

selr-sealing Advertising Envelopes, No. 263
Madison Street, New York.

THE SUBSCRIBER, in soliciting the patronage
IL of all who may this advertisement, feels
none of that hesitation with which new article is
brought before the public. The experience of
years has established their superiority beyond all
question; and he confidently refers to the testimo-
ny of those business men who have used these en-
velopes, and TO his rapidly increasing sales, as
proof of their excellence. The following few
of the reasons for their popularity:
lst. On the place occupied by seal person
may have his name, business, and address con-
spcuously and beautifully embossed, coored or
plain, thus affordng PERFECT SECURITY
AGAINST FRAUD.
I'd. he envelope cannot be opened without be-
ing destroyed.
Sd. Neither waters requisite to seal
them.
4h. Upon the miscarriage of a.letter the seal in
sures its immediate return TO the sender, instead
OF being buried months in the dead letter office.
5th. The envelopes are furnished at almost THE
SAME PRICE AS PLAIN ONES, with only the
additional cost of the die, which will last for ycars.
9th. Each letter mailed is most effective adver-
tisement TO attract the attention of all through
whose hands it may pass.
The following is list of prices for dies engraved
on brass and of envelopes of the usual letter size,
either white or buff of good paper, and made as
above with name, address, &c:
