With reference to the growing corn crops,
the advices from all points north of the
Ohio river continue of the most favorable
character. In Kentucky the farmers are
complaining of dry weather, and letters
from Tennessee inform us of a drought, Sc
we're and protracted, in the Western part of
that State, which is producing great alarm
regarding corn and cotton. The heavy and
protracted rain Which fell in this region the
past week, has injured the wheat and bar
ley which was in shock, and the top sheaves
have sDrOuted; but AS this rain was not
general, the damage Is but local, and as
large portion of both crops y ere out OF dan
ger, the damage cannot be serious.
Business continues satisfactory, for the
season, in all departments, and our manu-
featuring establishments are fully employed.
Flour has been dull, and prices irregular
during the week; the demand has been
chiefly local, and it has been quite easy to
buy, but as difficult to sell any day during
the week at our quotations. Superhne,
made from new wheat, has been offered free
~ at 4 % to 40, and extra al 81 50G0
4 80. A good deal of wheat has been taxi
en- by millers from Western New York and
up al the various lake towns during the
week, at 81 90 for prime red and 81 10
for prime white, but this demand fell off at
the close, and as our millers are not paying
these prices they declined 2@3c per bushel,
and the market closed dull.
Corn continues q he offered freely and 1T
closed dull at 42@43c. Small parcels of
new oats were in market yesterday, and
they brought 35@136c, whilst old were in
good demand at 37@39c. Rye declined to
zoe, and some 1000 bushels new sold at
csc. Small lots new Barley brought 70Gl
