THE RURAL NEW-YORKER.

will soon give more impetus to trade. The 
market for Indian corn has been very dull; 
but from October 31 to Novetulier l>, there has 
been an advance of _.e Rumors of a .Novem¬ 
ber corner in corn at Chicago have stimulated 
the tendency to advance, and the holdings of 
contract grade old corn at the Western cen¬ 
ters are matters of considerable interest at 
those points 
In the South there is a feeling of discour- 
agemeutatthe light cotton crop of this year 
succeeding the unsatisfactory crop of last 
year, and especially because of the low price 
at which cotton must he marketed. Yet, 
although the price is unprofitable, the disposi¬ 
tion is to send the staple promptly to market to 
clear a» ay debts. Planters are (■cououitzing 
and endeavoring to avoid new debts, while 
merchants are buying with extreme caution 
and selling as little as possible on time. 
Cattle are active in the West and steady 'n 
the East, for good stock, common cattle be¬ 
ing rather dull everywhere. Hogs show a 
favorable reaction at all points, and are tend¬ 
ing slightly upward. The sheep trade is uni¬ 
formly dull, easy and unsatisfactory. 
The Liverpool wheat, trade duriug the past 
week has been extremely dull and the tend¬ 
ency of price has been downwards, without, 
however, increasing tbedemund. 
There is uuthing now to be said about the 
wool market. The extreme dullness continues 
uubrok<-n, and there are no indications of an 
immediate change. Just how the result of the 
election will affect the tone, or whether it will 
affect it at all or not, is just now a prohlera of 
absorbing interest to wool-growers. It has 
been said that the present depression in the 
wool business will be benetlcial to the future 
of that great industry There will be ques¬ 
tions asked and answered as to what breed is 
be?-t suited to part icular surroundings, and m 
the uour future the breeds best adapted to dif¬ 
ferent localities will be as well settled us iu 
England to day. 
The monthly circular of N. K. Fairbanks & 
Co,, of Cincinnati, gives figures indicating re 
E lies to inquiries concerning the marketing of 
ogs, as follows: What are the prospects for 
the t un of hoga for December? Good, 750; 
fair, 7i")8; poor, 685. Will hogs come forward 
later than usual for winter packing f Yes, 
1,484; no, t)05. Have hogs been marketeol 
close ttits Summer; Yes, 1.285; uo, 764. 
The average annual value of the cotton seed 
products of the South is f3.000,000. This, 
however, represents only 10 per cent, of the 
cottou seed raised in this eouutry. If all the 
seed was used and crushed this little article, 
once despised and deemed of no value at all, 
and which the farmers were anxious to get 
rid of. would bo worth betweeu $80,000,000 
and $100,000,000 annually.
