well adapted to the growing wheat crop, pre-
venting II from becoming too rank. and hardening
the stems, so that with a continuance OF this
weather two weeks longer. there need be little
doubt entertained that the crop win be large and
good. On The whole, the season is favorable for
the growing crops, and most favorable for corn

Linseed oil advanced to Csc, and is IN much
better demand. Lard oil dull. and the supply Of
Carbon, Coal and Petroleum oils greatly X

troleum business, which il was supposed would
enrich those engaged in it, turns out rather un

very dull after paying for transportation and

and the commotion it produced, had depI esslng
influence on the market. Mess pork has been
neglected. and sales could not be made nj over
$40 25alO 30, but holders are firm. and il would
be difficult. we think, to buy round lot, of u
