It was expected that Millard Fill- more, President of the United States, would attead this year’s exhibition, but we perceive that he can- not leave bis post in Washington to be present. There is no doubt that these State fairs have, in past years, tended greatly to promote the welfare of the community. Any one who will take the trouble of inquiring into the condition of agriculture as it was twenty years ago, and compare it with what it is now, cannot but perceive that vast im- provements have been made, that in fact the sci- ence of husbandry—for it is a science as much as anything else—has been completely revolutionized within that time. So apparent is this change, that any farmer who tills his land according to the old system cannot make a living for himself, while those who avail themselves of the improvements | which have been developed within that time, make money,and wax fat and rich. Sir ‘ohn Sinclair, Lie- big, Buel, and a hoet of others, theoretical farmers, and amateurs as they have been foolishly termed, have done a great deal for the benefit of agricultu- rists in this and other countries, by pointing out tofarmers the means by which they can most pro- fitably cultivate the land, and fertilize and reno- vate old soils which have been tilled from genera- tion to generation without manure. The great truth has been manifested, that soil, like everything else, must be supported, and that without such sup- | port it will become impoverished and barren. It has been satisfactorily exhibited to the meanest ca- pecity, that indiscriminate sowing and reaping, without regard to manuring, and rotation of crops, will notdo, if the agriculturist desires to become | Tich, but thatit is the best methed possible for ma- king both the tiller and the soil poor. In bringing that truth home to our farmers, we are indebted in a very great measure to the State Agricultural So- ciety of New York. The improvement made within the period re- ferred to in agricultural implements, has been fully as great as that which marksthe tilling of the land. In ploughs and harrows thereis as much difference between those of the present day and those of twenty years ago as can be imagined, while there is an infinite number of new implements now in use which were not then dreamed of. Compare | the plough or the harrow of the present day with the unwieldly instruments which weat under those names a quarter of a century siace, and it would herdly be said that they were intended for the same purposes. The oid ones require twice or three times as much power to draw them as do those of the pre- | sent day, and impose as much additional labor on the operator. The one is handy, compact, and com- plete—the others are awkward, imperfect, and hard- ly manageable. As to the additional implementsand machines of husbandry that have been invented within comparatively a few years, they are as nu- merous as they are useful. They apply to agricul- ture in all its ramifications—to the field as well as to the dairy—to the barn as well as to the cider mill, the cheese press, or the threshing machine. We have not epace within which to refer to them individually, but we can’t help noticing the culti- i | vator, the new reaping machine, and the new sub- | soil plough. The reaping machine is very modern; and the want of such an implement has been much | felt in the western States, where labor is high and | scarce, and where it is not unusual to see a field of gtain rot for want of hands to harvest it. Three thoneand five hundred of these machines, it is said, will be put in use next seas at the West, and city and Cuban grave, which shall sorve to mark another step in the ‘march of the revolu Hustly call inevitahle.

As contracts expire, the bears are compelled to enter the market as purchasers, which creates a demand from time to time, an@ tends to sustain priees. This is probably the extent to which a demand for fancy stocks will be carried this fall, unless holders let prices down toa point that will attract outside speculators. As for starting @ speculation from current rates, it ie. utterly out of the question ; it is one of those impos- sibilities #0 seldom met with im the stock market. Prices must fall back at least ten per cent, om an ave- rage, before we can expeet outsiders to take hold. It is almost impossible to name a single stock that is not selling at prices ten or fifteem per cent above what it is worth, Even the best and soundest securities are too high. At present, they pay a very moderate rate of interest. The margin for depreciation . is 80 great, in most of them, in the event ef diMocul- ties arising in the financial world, that prudent mem Tefuse to touch them, preferring to wait the develope- ments a few months will probably produce. There is not the slightest doubt, im our mind, but thet we shal) see a different state of things, three months hence, than exist at this moment. It matterslittlehow much. gold the banks may have piled up in their vaults, or how abundant money may be in the principal mar- kets, it cannot sustain sod strengthen publie cenf- dence, without which it is impossible to preservs a. healthy state of credit and to keep in motion all the- machinery of commerce. ‘The present abundance of money, and the reduced” rate of interest, are some of the results of o want ef. confidence in the commercial world. It is impossible to make loans at the lowest rates of interest, ex- cept om call, and upon the best securities in the- market. Business paper cannot be negotiated with: out submitting to a shave varying from one to- two per cent per month, a rate sufficiently high to satisfy any one that the money market is not so- easy as is represented, The banks have discounted pretty liberally at the legal rate of interest; but their limes are so much extended that they can, take but a small percent of the paper offering. This compels holders to take it into the street, and pay the. rates there demanded by the regulary note shavers, ‘The failures which have recently taken place have: had an unfavorable influence upon the street rates tor paper, and have made the banks more esutious.

It is this absence of. ¢ that is going to undermine. and, to a cer~- destroy individual credit, and expose the- rottenness of individuals who have for years been able to keep the secret to themselves. During the past two years private credits have been rapidly ex- tended.

One failure at once restricts the resources’ and increases the liabilities of, perhaps, dozens off other houses, and 0 on until almost the entire com- mercial community becomes involved in Senkruptey_ When credits become so much extended, the mercan- tile classes are so dependent upon each other for sup-- port, that, when they commence going down, they go- like & pile of brieks—all into one heap.
