Agricultnral Notes.

Little Rock Knrai q Workman.
 It is now generally conceded we believe, that in the upland regions of Ohio, Indiana. Illinois and Ken tucky, that the present wheat crop will not equal one-half the usual average.
 The indications now point to a short crop in the great food produc- ing regions of the North and West. It is therefore to the interest of eve ry southern farmer to redouble his exertions in the growing of food crops especially. Look well to the corn and hog crop, farmer friends.
 The garden, bear in mind, still needs your attention. Don't allow the work of the farm to mopopolize all else. With the prospective abun dance of peaches in the near future, some plan should be ss.ecided upon for the disposition of those that are not suitable for shipping. A good practlcle drIcr should be procured at an early day, and put in shape for immediate use. True economy means the utilization of everything produced upon the farm.
 Tho the present Spring has been unusually cold, backward and ac- companied by unusual rainfalls and floods. our farmers as rule are well abreast of the labor of the season. The cotton is about all planted and the corn is being cultivated, some of it the second time. Garden vegeta- bles, potoes, wheat, oats &c,. are in splendid condition Our markets are well supplied with the earlier varieties of vegetables. While straw berries are offered in the greatest abundance, most of which are ol good quality. Peaches, plums, ap- ples, cherries &c., arc doing we'll and give promise of an excellent yield.

ofthe Previous Night.
 NEW YORK, Jan. r.
 There plentiful supply of rumors in circula- tion Wall street this morning before the opening of the board in relation to the financial standing of certain firms and some reports predicted that fail ures would occur before the day closed. The names of the firms carefully omitted, and although on the surface they appeared to have been started for jobbing purposes, they nevertheless created an unsettled feeling. Prices fuctuated frequently during the morning and at noon the result showed decline of Ii to per cent. In the early dealings there selling under which prices de- clined, but at 1O3o brisk buying of the grangers was begun and by Il o'clock prices had not only covered the decline but had advanced Ii to 115 per cent To offset the advance the bears revived the early runors of impending failures and with them coupled the names of two of the most prominent business houses. This caused renewed selling and at noon the advance was lost. From noon up to 3 o'clock the bears continued their tactics of spring ing reports in regard to certain houses in the mar ket. They resorted to all manner of means to ate distrIst. The most not able the methods adopted to depress prices by the b.ars, which was follows: 'Te most prominent of their brokers af- | ter finding out such houses as were known to be | carrying large amounts of stock would give them small orders to sell and then go into the market and | report the house was in trouble and selling. 1 This caused great uneaSneSs among the smaller | brokers who sold on every such report and caused prices to decline sharply. Meanwhile the members of the firm lost no time in denying the reports and | in one case the firm offered reward for the ap- prehenson of the party who circulated report in regard to it's financial standing In the last hour | tine market inactive, but time with | out any failures the market strengthened and closed at a fractional rally from the lowest figures. | The closing figures, however, showed declines as | compared with those of last night ranging from Ii to ? per cent.
