MARKETS. 



RoCHEsTFR, Nov. 29, 1845. 



Caual navigation has closed, and busine.-s has assumed its winter 

 garb. The trade of the fall has been unusually prosperous. The 

 unexpected advance in the price of bread stuffs, owing to the fail- 

 ure of the crops in Europe, has given an impulse to all bianches of 

 trade. Other kinds of produce, the whole seesoii, has brought sat- 

 isfactory prices, and Furmer.-i have realized larger profits on their 

 pork, butter, cheese, and lard, than for several years past. 



The amount of money put in circulation by operators in this city, 

 for wheat alone, so far during the nianth of November, will exoeeJ 

 §280,000. The receipts of that article by canal, were 251,800 

 l)Ushels. 



Breadstuffs. — Business closes up with flour at about S5,G2i and 

 wheat steady at 125c. The supplies by wagon aud railroad are 

 light. Markets east appear to be declining, and will probably re- 

 main unsettled till the arrival of the next steamer from England, 

 which is due on the 4lh of December. '
