DRIED FRuIT.-There has been a great de-
cline in the price of this article in most il not
all the western markets More dried fruit is
sold perhaps in this market annually than any
other in the Union, and it is therefore one OF
the staple commodities Of trade. Tie stock OF
apples here and elsewhere is large, and within
two months the market rate has fallen .ffty per
cent. Good apples can be had by the quanti-
ty for $4,000. At Cincinnati from last ac-
counts they were only worth sO@85c. Peach
es sell considerably higher, but they too have
submitted to considerable decline. Prime,
in lots, cannot be sold here at over S2@2.25

titles OF fruit to this city for sale, will be some
what disappointed in their account Of sales.
Few or none have been taken this season for
the California emigration, and the consequence
is there is large supply, particularly of apples,
left on hand.-St Louis Meas.

ment and probably loss in his farm operations.
But his experience has disipated all apprehen-
tons. He finds no difficulty in hiring white
laborers according to his need. and atFeasOn able
rates he hires portion Of his former slaves for
wages mutually satisfactory; his farm is consid-
erably improved and still improving in fertility
and productiveness he cuts more hay. has bet

in better order than formerly and whereas his

she fingered.
At length every gentleman but one had gone,
