There is but slight change in the quotations
this week, with the exception of the staple ar
ticles in groceries. Sugars and coffees have
advanced materially, but not in ratio with the
Southern and Eastern markets.
The greatest rise has been in cofees, which
have advanced two cents per pound in eastern
markets. We accordingly make an advance in
our quotations.
The grain market is quiet, with small re-
ceipts Wheat rye and barley have declined a
few cents per bushel.
Business generally continues very fair for the
season.
Traders and others who wish to purchase in

HEMP CULruRE-M1NNEsoTA HEMP
We have noticed, during hasty trip
through several counties in this State, a
number of fine patches of hemp, (cannabis
sativa) the culture of which several farmers
of our acquaintance have undertaken. In
Kentucky, especially, hemp is one of the
staple products of the soil, and is extensive
ly cultivated on account of the important
uses of its seed, from which a very valuable
oil is obtained, and the fibres of its bark.
The supply of this material in this country
is vet far short of the demand, and it still
forms large article of import from foreign
countries, especially from Russia. That
Minnesota is admirably adapted to the
growth and cultivation Of hemp, has already,
in several instances, been fairly tested and
established and we write this brief notice
for the purpose of attracting the attention
of our agriculturists to the matter. In a
more extended article, at another time, we
may allude to this again and urge many
reasons why the cultivation Of hemp should
attract from farmers careful consideration.
The hemp we have seen to grow with
luxuriance in this State, which we have nev-
er seen equalled elsewhere, and it has already
become naturalized along the wilds of the
of Red River of the North. As a winter
employment the breaking of hemp, and pre-
paration Of the fiber for market, would af-
ford profitable employment to hundreds of
persons, who otherwise would find little to
do. 1t is question open for discussion as
to the best means of rotting hemp in this
climate; as it is well known damp, moist
atmosphere, is preferable for that purpose.
Still, any difficulty of this kind could be
easily overcome, especially as Minnesota
does not lack in an abundance of water.
J. w. McClung, Esq, of this city, has six
acres of hemp under cultivation on his farm,
which he planted for the seed, and we pre-
sumo will have more than sufficient for his
own use. By all means let our agricultur-
lists incorporate hemp as one of the staple
products of Minnesota.

TOMATOES demand for this excellent
vegetable should encourage horticulturists
to make efforts in forcing plants to maturity
earlier in the season. The great improve
ment effected in gardening hereabouts has
rendered our vegetable and fruit market a
very different affair from what it was few
years ago. But for no vegetable is the de-
mand more ready, and of none is the con-
sumption more rapidly increasing, than the
tomato. Earth "bears no plant" more pal
ateable, nutricious or healthful. AS hint
to owners of suburban property, we are
informed by farmer in Dakota county,
about five miles from st. Paul, that he has
already sold in our market over two hun.
dred dollars worth of tomatoes, this season.

What Slavery Does.

The Rev. Dir. Thompson, the newly
elected editor of the Christian A9rocatt
and Journal, in his admirable speech in
the General Conference at Buffalo on the
25th Of May, defines the monster evil OF
Slavery in the fewest words of any speak.
er that we have read for years, His whole
speech was gem. Here are six lines
from it which We commend to the atten.
ton of every apologist for Slavery, and
especially to Methodist apologsts for the
sum of all villAinies. Dr.. Thompson
speaking of Slavery said'
"There is no monster On the continent
that binds SO many hands, cords 50 many
feet, blinds so mauy eyes, blasfa SO many
intellects, chars so many hearts--that
opens so wide the mouth of hell and grams
it with spch nasaes of ruined mind aad
matter"
Is that statement true? Then church
that will longer tolerate the ADMISSION of
Shareholders to her communion ia pct en-
titled to the name of a christian church,
If that etatement is true, then the man
who will vote to let Slavery into al the
Territories of the United States, if only
the first squatters who go there are in ia
vor of it, deserves to be himself enslsyed.
If the statement is not true, We will take
il as a personal favor if any oRe who
thinks SO will show its inporrectpess
through our columns.
