little market, but we are 20 worse off,
apparently, in these particulars than
other States. Judge Thacher, Of
Lawrence, has Just returned from a
trip to New York, and is quoted in
the Journal as saying that potatoes
are selling in the western part of that
State for 20 cents a bushel. Other
produce Is almost equally low and cat

cheap as they are selling here. We
are as well of as our neighbors.
