BURLINGTON, FRIDAY, 3P. M q
The weather continues dry and no more pros
pect of rain than week ago. Corn really be-
gins to suffer for want of It, and without refresh
ing showers soon the crop viii certainly be short
Farmers are now engaged cutting spring wheat,
notwithstanding the drouth the crop will be
reasonably good. Yield per acre light, but of
good berry.
The quality of Potatoes and garden truck"
generally all show the effects of dry weather,
the effects of our vegetable market being deci-
dedly beggarly.
The river at this point is unprecedentedly low.
the ferry boat being compelled to go some dis
| lance above to find water enough to get across
We heard yesterday that the water had got so
low that the Catfish" were obliged to use
,sculling oars in getting over the sand bars
We presume however, that the story is not en-
tirey reliable. The Rock Island packets are at
the wharf every day usiusual, but Northern line
boats are scarce we learn they have mostly
gone into summer quarters.
The Fernando Wood riot in New York this
week has occupied the public mind to about the
same extent that Lees invasion of Pennsylva-
MA has for several weeks, so that reliable mar
ket quotations are out of the question We no.
tice the mob destroyed the Bulls Head (Aller-
ton's) Hotel on Monday afternoon. Western
drovers Will probably make note of it. We
have seen no reason assigned for it, only that the
Telegraph office was located in the third story of
the building. Our report below will give all the
intelligence we are able to obtain with reference
to Live Stock, and we are afraid drovers that
have bought stock at high prices will not find
much consolation in them
Receipts ofgrain here are very light Millers
take all the wheat offered at 80 cents for good
Winter, and GOOSE for Spring. No new wheat
yet in market Corn sells readily at SIC for
shelled, and Soc in the ear; dealers seem to keep
close on to Chicago prices all the while. Oats
are little dull at 45c. The difficulty Of shipping
down the river is against an active trade in Oats
City retail trade is very dull indeed Farmers
are busy in their Corn, and securing harvested
crops, and our streets present very lifeless APP
pearance
At Chicago the receipts of grain are liberal;
prices without material change. Wheat is quo
ted a trif1e lower than week ago, but Corn re-
mains about the same.
