To check your code I tried the following:

@Test
public void test1() throws Exception {
    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "t:\\Others\\chromedriver.exe");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();

    String url = "http://www.upmandiparishad.in/commodityWiseAll.aspx";

    driver.get(url);
    Thread.sleep(5000);

    new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ddl_commodity"))).selectByVisibleText("Paddy");
    Thread.sleep(5000);

    driver.findElement(By.id("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_txt_rate")).sendKeys("27/03/2014");
    Thread.sleep(5000);

    driver.findElement(By.id("ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_btn_show")).click();
    Thread.sleep(5000);

    driver.close();

}

It works fine with FireFox (29.0) and Chrome (34.0) drivers. I used the following jar-s:

• selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar
• selenium-java-2.41.0.jar
• junit-dep-4.11.jar
• hamcrest-core-1.3.jar

You should check your project build path and add the appropriate jar-s. But you can find the missing class file in the selenium-server-standalone-2.XY.0.jar if you open it: selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar\org\apache\http\entity\ContentType

Another way is to use httpcore.jar (httpcore-4.3.jar) that contains the missing class file.
