REMARKS-On reference to our Price Current it will be seen that Ashes, Cotton, Flour, Wheat, Barley, Oats, Corn, Indian Meal, Hay, Naval Stores, Lard, Provisions, and Tallow, have ad vanced, the late European advices per Caledonia being in favor of these articles. We almost regret to see such advance, as it may have a tendency to prevent shipments to that extent which would take place if prices were kept lower. The United States grow such large quantities of produce, it is a great object to sell at moderate rates, and thus prevent other nations competing with us in the English market.

Money continues abundant at legal rates, for all private pur poses. The Government is somewhat pinched for funds, which may ultimately affect private affairs, unless the people continue very prudent in the conduct of their business. Credits should be avoided as much as possible.

To CORRESPONDENTS.-Cato, A Young Farmer, Wm. R. Prince, Reviewer, M. W. Philips, L. T. Talbot, J. H. Beale, E. M. C., and Westchester, are received. The last will be good enough to send us samples of his African maize, as we suspect it is Egyptian millet, such as has long been cultivated here.

ADVERTISEMENTS.-CONTENTS.

[graphic]

THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. Published Monthly, by SAXTON & MILES, 205 Broadway, New York, containing 32 pages, royal octavo.

TERMS-One Dollar per year in advance; three copies for Two Dollars; eight copies for Five Dollars.

When Agricultural Societies order the work for distribution, among the members, the price will be only FIFTY CENTS a year, for the Monthly Numbers, and SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS per copy for bound volumes. It will be expected that these orders come officially, and be signed by the President or Secretary of the Society. The object in putting our periodical at this very low rate is, to benefit the farming community more extensively than it could otherwise be done. We hope, henceforth, to see the Agriculturist in the hands of every Farmer and Planter in the country.

Each number of the Agriculturist contains but One sheet, and is transported by mail under the same regulations as newspapers, viz.: free any distance not over 30 miles from its place of publication; over this and within 100 miles, or to any town in the State of New York, one cent postage on each number, and one and a half cents if over 100 miles, without the State.

Back Volumes of THE AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, with tables of contents complete, for sale at $1.00 each; elegantly and uniformly bound in cloth, $1.25. These are handsome, tasteful books, and make very desirable premiums for distribution with Agricultural Societies, and should also find place in all our District School Libraries. They constitute the best and most complete treatise on American Farming, Stock-Breeding, and Horticulture, extant. When several copies are ordered, a liberal discount will be made.

Editors of newspapers noticing the numbers of this work monthly, or advertising it, will be furnished a copy gratis upon sending such notice to this office.
