The prospects for heavy crop of grain in our
State are said to be excellent, and will exert de-
pressing influence in prices of grain of all kinds
indeed, 1t Is probable that they will never be so
nigh again as they have been heretofore Of
Wheat several hundred per cent more is sown
than last year; SO of Corn; so of Oats,-and this
increased supply will decrease the shipments from
below, In proportion as the home demand is sup
Piled by home products. But grain continues to
arrive by River in small lots

FKESH MEAT.-The establishing of private
Meat Markets, or something else, has reduced
the price of Meat sensbly; it can now be bought

l3@2oc; Nenison, 6@lOc y tb ; Fresh Fish, case;
Fresh Poultry, scarce at 2O@25c y H. The
high prices, and scarcity of this article of mar
keting, should be an inducement to farmers TO
raise more. 1t is profitable source of revenue.
and will continue to be- as the City grows, for all
who choose to go into it. There are, in fact, no
poultry yards near the City.
