Review OF THE TOBACCO & GRAIx
MARKErs.-'PrepnrDi for the american
Farmer by j. ". s E Reynolds.
The market for Tobscco since our last
monthly report has been very animated,
and prices have gradually and steadily
advanced. so that now the prices for some
descriptions are nearly as high as they
were in the winter OF 1850 and 81, while
those for o'her kind are very little higher.
There is still manifested great anxiety on
the part OF the regular dealers and others
also, 10 purchase at rates, viz: $50 TO
81 for frosted SAY TO 81 for good sound
leafy common; $5l 10 Sc for dark and
dingy red. and s. to SIS far good brigh,
red and yellow, and 50 for fine. Some
entire crops have sold lately a, an aver
aye of S6.l2l to 6 so.
The stocks Of Maryland Tobacco in
agents hands here. are very small, ard
as there is but little to arrive from the
country this year. we feel very confident
that prices will not decline, and shall not
be surprised at further advance. The
inspections up to the present time this
| year OF Md. Tobacco is about 2,UOO
hhds., being about 1000 hhds. more than
al the same period last year.
Grain.-The price OF Wheat during
this month has been very fuciuaiing al
one time good white sold al So TO 9Oc
afterwards at 81 10 to Is, and now il
sells at 96c to 81. Red ditto, IS to 90c.
Notwithstanding the advice~eontssaeJ
in our last report, to farmers, TO have their
wheat we'll ci'0nei and perfectly dr.,
when shipped. large majority of whal
has been received from the Southern coun.
ties of Md. has been " tough" and BADLY
cleaned, causing its owners a loss of lC
to Is cts. per bush:
Corn has been selling at go to 64c fol
white, and IS to &c for yellow. and we
quote sales now at so TO 63c for the for
mer, and So TO IS for the latter.-Rye a
10 TO 73c. Oats at 80 to 33c.

PIcELING ToMAroEs.-Though we have
said much on the subject, of the Tomato,
in this department Of our paper, it is a
vegetable or fruit that can be applied TO
so many houshoid purposes. and it is 80
abundant this year, that we feel con.
strained TO give our usual seasonable
advice respecting it. The following re.
ceip's for picking tomatoes, can hardly
be improved on.
ToMAro PlrxLEs.-Take tomatoes two.
thirds ripe, twhen they begin 10 turn q
little red,) prick them with fork, pu,
them in a strong brine, and let them re.
main eight DAYS then put them in weak
vinegar to remain twenty four hours re-
move them from this, put them in stone
Jars; and TO a peck of tomatoes add a
bottle OF mustard, an ounce Of cloves, and
an ounce of black pepper ground. laying
alternately a layer ofiomatoes and spices.
Then pour on strong vinegar cold, and
they will be found to be delicious. The
brine should be prepared by boiling and
putting in as much salt as will dissolve,
then suffered TO cool. For any kind Of
pickles i, is best when prepared in this
way.
ANOTHER. Take the small round iona.
toes, let them lay in weak vinegar two or
three days; then prepare the best of vine.
gar by putting in cloves, all spice. pepper,
cinnamon, and such spices as one may
fancy, and then scaling il we'll. When
entirely cold. put in the tomatoes, and if
there is sufficient body to the vinegar,
your pickles will never require any father
trouble. provided they are kept from the
air. An ounce OF alum to q gallon of
vinegar is q great improvement 10 cucum-
Der pickles. but The writer has never tried
i, for tomaioes.-BaH. Sun.

By reference to our terms, it will be
perceived that we have reduced the sub
scrip,ion price Of the Beacon" TO $3.50
This amount We consider due in six
months, but charge no more if not paid
within that time. Now that the Law
allows eli newspaper to circulate free in
the county where published, we look upon
this as 8 considerable reduction and hope
our experiment may succeed. We wish
this TO be regarded as an earnest OF what
we might do in the future, If we find we
can justify it.
Will our friends lend us helping hand
in getting subscribers? They will place
Us under many obligations by so doing.

Although we confess 10 much embarrass-

The new Minister from the Republic Of

on presenting his credentials, made some
interesting remarks, expressive Of the
hope ihat friendly selaiipns might continue
10. exist Between PERI and the United
States, and that any difficulty which
might appear TO leopard such relations
NAV be removed when examined Impair.
italy to such an end he promised 10 de-
vote his energies. President Fillmore,
in responding, assured him that our Gov.
eminent entertained lively regard for
| Peru, and that there was nothing in the
relations of the Two Republics likely to
disturb tina, harmony which heretofore
existed between them and concluded by
expressing his qualification tina, Senior
Isma vas fully authorized bv his Govern.
nlent to negotiate in reference TO all mat.
tiers of difference between the two coun,
tries.
The above which We take from the
Sun" seems 10 give prospect Of an am,
icable settlement Of the Guano difficulty.
We truly hope the Government will
take care OF US upon that question. 1t is
one in which all the farmers Of the coun

they are concerned more important, prac
