THE GIST OF THE MARKETS. 
It will be noticed that all over the country 
prices of agricultural products are at present, 
stationary or nearly so. The slight variations 
in prices from those of last week, noted in the 
various markets, are not greater than those that 
orten take place from day to day, or even In the 
course Of a single day s transactions indeed so 
long as Inducements to exportations eon Inuc 
so uninspiring as at present, little advance can 
he expected iu cotton, breadstuffs and provisions, 
as all three of these are now held at higher prices 
In the domestic than In the foreign markets. 
There is therefore no Inducement to ship, or to 
pay higher prices here with the effect 01 adding 
to the enormous accumulations already in the 
hands of dealers and speculators. To-day (Sat¬ 
urday) freights on the lleets ot European steam¬ 
ers leaving this and other Atlantic porta, are lower 
than on any day during the year, owing to the 
unwillingness of produce dealers to ship at pres¬ 
ent transatlantic prices, in the Europeau mar¬ 
kets the Impression prevails that prices here 
mustcome aowu somewhat, and at any rate the 
present ilgures there are Idgh enough to tempt 
the export of grain from all other countries hav- 
lug a surplus of It. American speculators think 
the supply irorn that source will soon be ex¬ 
hausted, and that then they cau demand their 
own ilgures. 
Wool, despite the slackness that always marks 
the trade towards the close ot the year, Is still 
firm, with a slight upward tendency, It anything. 
At the present rate ot consumption the stock on 
hand will be used up before the new clip, and 
prices abroad are so hlgb as to render importation 
unprofitable, unless prices fall there or rise still 
more hero. 
The strike of working hog packers lu Chicago, 
besides Indicting a great deal of harm on the t rade 
of that city, has had a depressing In luence on 
prices elsewhere, as much of the stock That would 
naturally go there, has been diverted to other 
markets, adding there to the usual supply, while 
the demand can be only slightly increased, if at 
all. By wise municipal precautions, no violence 
has been yut committed among the Chicago 
strikers, aud It is to be hoped, for the sake of all 
parties, that the unfortunate suspension of work 
may soon be over. 
liy mall advices ot December 15, we learn that 
the grain trade there was unsatisfactory to English 
farmers, as the price--4Gs, 7d per quarter—was t oo 
low to be proillable, and Urey were urged, there¬ 
fore, to use every effort to raise, it to at least 5es. 
American red winter wheat was lus. per quarter— 
or vac. a bushel—higher than the average wheat Of 
home production, the disastrous want of quality In 
Ure domest ic grain being responsible for this. Lit¬ 
tle change was expected before New Year's, as 
dealers dislike to Incur obligations to bo met then.

wheat sowing mud be deferred tndeliultely ; the 
distress la increasing In agricultural districts; 
cattle are suffering severely; thrashing Is steadily 
progressing; provincial grain trade has been slack 
owing to disinclination of millets to Increase stock 
until after the holidays. Prices of all cereals were 
firm, except maize which sold at a slight reduc¬ 
tion. Nome fear was entertained that those coun¬ 
tries having a surplus of wheat, might Imitate 
America and put up prices, imports had fallen 
off considerably, aud there was an effort to sub¬ 
stitute cheaper wheats Instead o. American red
