Well fatted lots of prime quality, running from 2*0 to 300, 
are worth $5,75, but this quotation is rather nominal. Ordi¬ 
narily, hogs of 250 are as acceptable as those of 300, being 
more convenient to work up. Quality as well as weight is 
taken into account, some carcasses weighing 200 being 
worth as much as others of 250 .—Detroit Tribune, Dec. 8. 
TORONTO, Dec. 9.—The demand for pork is again im¬ 
proved, and prices have taken another important move¬ 
ment upward, consequent on purchases being made for the 
Boston market. On Tuesday several fine lots realized a3 
high as $6,25 to $6,37K. and it is said $6,50 was also paid, 
but we have no positive knowledge of the fact. Hogs over 
250 lbs. only commanded this rate, the light weights moving 
at $6 freely. There is likely to be a very active market 
throughout the winter. 
The Cattle Markets. 
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—The current prices for the week 
at all the markets are as follows: 
Beef Cattle —First quality, $ cwt., $9.75@10,25; ordi¬ 
nary do, $9,00@9,50; common do, $7,5008,50; inferior do,

ALBANY, Dec. 12. —Cattle —Judging from the sales 
made thus far, prices are about as good as last week—per¬ 
haps a shade better on one or two of the lower grades. 
The average quaiity of the beef offering is not very high 
—hardly up to that of last week, if we except a few droves 
from Kentucky and Ohio. We quote the market compara¬ 
tively active at the following prices:

Sheep— The supply is in excess of the demand, and the 
market is heavy—quite unfavorable for sellers. The weath¬ 
er, during the fore part of last week, was quite against 
slaughtering; but for the past two or three days it has been 
snapping, and should this continue drovers may look for a 
speedy improvement. One drover sold some 70 head to an 
Eastern buyer at $7 # head, or about 5)4c $< lb. This was a 
very fine bunch, averaging 135 lbs. 
Hoos—The receipts of live by the road for the week foot 
up greater than was expected, and buyers are having the 
best of it. During the day about 601) head changed hands 
at 6%@55fc — averaging about 250 tbs. One lot, a little

Y COMPLETE GRIST MILL FOR $30. 
THE TOM THUMB GRIST MILL. 
This mill has been well tested, and its qualities are fully 
established. It is now offered to the public as the latest 
unproved and best cast iron mill in use. Its construction 
is entirely simple, requiring no skill in mechanism, or in 
the art of grinding to operate it. 
It is furnished with an ingenious device for regulating the 
feed, which is placed within the throat of the mill. This 
invention supplies the place of the cumbersome and vexa¬ 
tious rattle-staff and shoe, performing conveniently all 
the offices of both. 
The axis of the mill is horizontal, and it is arranged to 
run with a belt from a horse power, steam engine, or aDy 
ordinary motor. 
It may be run with a two horse power, up to a speed of 
two hundred and fifty revolutions per minute, or St may be 
operated with proportionally increased results, for every 
increment of power and speed, up to four or more horse 
power, and four or six hundred revolutions per minute.

that we can put eight bushels of dry co-n through, and 
then make as good meal as can he made with burrs.

TORONTO, Dec. 9.—The week has been a dull one in 
every department of trade. The unsettled weather has 
kept back supplies of produce, for every article of which 
there continues to be an active demand and pood prices 
and the sales of merchandize have been limited 
Flour—T he fall shipments of flour are pretty nearly at 
an end, and holders have wisely got rid of stocks; there Is 
consequently little or no business being done at present. 
In the absence of stock, very limited receipts, and corres¬ 
ponding lightness of demand, the market is therefore 
dull, and the following quotations are, especially for the 
higher grades, quite nominal:—Double extra, $5,75@6.25; 
extra, $5,5-@5,65: fancy, $5@5,15; superfine No. j, $4,60® 
4.70: do No. 2, $4.25@4,35; oatmeal, $4,75@5; cornmeal, 
$4,50; pot barley, $5,50. 
Grain— There has no new feature presented itself on our 
wheat market since our last report. There has been more 
than the usual activity in the demand, and prices have 
been pretty well sustained, although the outside figure of 
last Wednesday ($1,35) was realized only that day. The 
prices Dahl during the past few days have been as follows: 
Prime and extra prime_ samples, $1,28 to $1,33; medium 
and good $1.23 to $1,25; common and ordinaiy, $1,15 to 
$1,20. The purchases of Tuesday, which amounted to 
about 1,200 buohols, were at an average price of not less 
than $1,26 $ bushel, and the average prices for some days 
previous were slightly above that figure. The demand for 
spring has been very active throughout the week, and a 
considerable improvement has taken nlace in prices. From 
$1 to $1,05 $ bushel has been the ordinary range, but very 
fine samples have brought $1,07 to $1.08 )9 bushel. The 
marktt at these rates was not firm, and when cargoes, now 
nearly complete, are shipped, there may he a decline 
Barley is very dull, the supply and demand being equally 
limited. Quotations are nominal at 60c )9 bushel Rve 
continues in good request for the local distilleries, but the 
supply is still very small. Ordinary and prime samples 
bring 75 to 80c bushel. Oats are still scarce, with a de¬ 
mand much 1°£S active than if prices were lower It is 
hoped that sleighing will increase 'he receipts. Prices are 
slightly better than last week, say 37 to 39c 1? bushel. Peas 
are wanted, but a limited supply restricts sales, which have 
been made at 54 to 57c $ bushel—rates slightly better than 
those of last week .—Globe. 
The Pork Trade. 
Albany, N. Y.—A s’eady market for dressed hogs, with 
sales 70 head at $6,50@6,75@7. dividing on 290 lbs. 
Ohio. —The market for hogs was again much excited 
to-day, and a further advance of 20@25c was established in 
prices. The immediate cause of this was light, receipts, the 
arrivals for the last 48 hours not exceeding 4,010 head. The 
sales comprised about 3,<H)0 head, at $5,4006,65, and we 
understood $6,75 was paid in some cases. At the close, 
however, there were no good hogs to be had below $6,75, 
and not many at that, holders having mos'ly stepped aside 
for $7. The receipts up to last Tuesday were 89,264 
head. There have been received since 40,000, making a 
total for the season of 129,000, Estimating the arrivals for 
the next 24 hours at we shall have 135,000 at the close 
of the week. The receipts to the corresponding date last 
year, were 231,143, and to the same time in 1857, 137,810. 
Thus, it is seen, the receipts this year, and in 1857, are 
about the «ame. Let us see how prices of hogs and provis¬ 
ions compare. These were: 
1857. 1858. 1859.

Last season the hog crop was only 7)4 ?) cent, larger than 
in 1857-8, yet the receipts this year are as large as up to the 
corresponding date in 1857—while there is a difference in 
prices in favor of 1 his year of full $1,60 19 100 n>=. net—in 
favor of sellers; we mean. Another fact worthy of consid¬ 
eration in this connection, is this: Last fall, on the 8th of 
December, corn brought 65@70c 19 bushel in this market. 
Fed to hogs it yielded the farmer about 60c. Now, corn is 
bringing 46c, while it yields 60c, if fed to hogs. Last year, 
therefore, farmers would have done better to sell corn in 
the ear, by 5@l0c 19 bushel, than to feed it to hogs, while 
this year they clear 15c by converting it into pork. In this 
comparison we have taken Cincinnati prices. Taking the 
average for the West, and the inaucements to feed bogs 
this season would appear much stronger. May not this 
account for the light receipts of hogs as compared with last 
season.— Cincinnati Gazette, Dec. 6. 
Michigan.— The market, with the incoming of favorable 
weather, has tended upward since our last weekly report. 
The receipts are now comparatively good, and as slaughter¬ 
ing, with the present cold weather, must become general, 
experienced dealers think the market has reached its high¬ 
est point, and that as present prices are based upon slight 
supplies, the market must sood be lower. At the same time 
witli an active competition, we presume that It is not sup¬ 
posed that a decline, if it ensues, will be a very heavy one, 
unless a marked decline takes place in other markets, upon

J J E N R Y WARD BEECHER’S 
S 33 II MONS, 
REVISED BY THE AUTHOR, 
WILL APPEAR IN 
THE INDEPENDENT 
EVERY WEEK. 
This announcement alone should be a sufficient induce¬ 
ment to thousands to send their subscriptions. 
The conductors of this paper aim to make it the most 
influential and useful religious newspaper published in this 
country. To this end they employ an array of Editors, 
Special Contributors, Regular Correspondents, Miscella¬ 
neous Essayists, Commercial Reporters, and other writers, 
each of whom contributes a valuable and indispensable 
part of every weekly number. 
In addition to this, arrangements are now in progress by 
which The Independent, for the coming year, will he made 
still more interesting and attractive. 
A wider range of good reading will be introduced, and 
the paper will be printed throughout with new type. 
It is intended that any one of the following departments 
of the paper, viz., the Sermons of 
HENRY WARD BEECHER, 
the Contributions of the 
Rev. GEO. B. CHE EVER, 
the Poems of 
JOHN G. WIIITflER, 
the Commercial Articles and Market Reports, Editorial 
Articles, or the Family Reading, shall be worth more than 
the entire subscription price for one year. 
We are happy to announce that our subscription list is 
increasing more rapidly than ever before, and as a special 
inducement to our readers we will say. that for every two 
new subscribers sent us with $5, we will credit the party 
sending the same with one year’s subscription. 
The friends of The Independent in all sections of the 
country, will favor the cause in which we are engaged, by 
using their influence to extend our circulation. 
Terms, $2 a year in advance.
