Chhistchukch Market, Jvly 30tli, 1853. —The setting in of fine weather has produced great activity amongst the agriculturists of the plains, and the attendance at the market today was rather thinner than usual.. Prices, however, of all kinds of grain, were firm at former quotations. Great interest appears to be taken bjr the principal Stockowners and tlie public generally in furthering the intended Cattle Show, and we understand the Committee of the Agricultural Society have completed their arrangements so that it will take place the first week in October.
