NOV. 29 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
THE GIST OF THE MARKETS. 
As will be seen by t,lie accompanying reports 
tbe prices of the cblet farm products have still 
an upward tendency throughout the country. In 
each center there have been during the week 
various slight fluctuations In prices, but the gener¬ 
al drift. If any, has been upward. The early closing 
of canal transportation throughout the North¬ 
ern States and the approaching Impedlinents to 
Lake navigation, are the chief domestic causes 
likely to affect prices by giving a monoply of 
transportation to the greedy railroads which are 
sure then to raise their freight charges still 
higher. The Erie Canal, the great water route 
between the Lakes and tide-water, will be closed 
on Dec. 1 st, If Ice does not close It sooner. The 
cold snap on Friday night froze In 588 grain-laden 
boats between Buffalo and Troy, N. Y. and specu¬ 
lators M once stiffened prices on the ground that 
8,118,000 bushels of wheat, 1 , 818,000 of corn, 80,000 of 
barley and 26,000 of oats were thus locked up un¬ 
til spring thaws. The Ice Is being cut, however, 
and all the boats will get through, it is estimated 
that at least 25 per cent of the wheat crop Is still 
In the bauds of the producers. The^vlslhle supply— 
or that In the markets In various places and 
in lrumitu—\u extremely large, about 25,uoo,ouu 
bushels—Just what the Dept, of Agrl. estimates 
to be the Increase of this year’s crop over last 
year’s. On the 18th the aggregate Visible supply 
In the U. t>. plus the amuunt on passage to Eu¬ 
rope, was put down at about 59 , 000,000 bush. The 
amount on passage has lately been reduced, how¬ 
ever, by a temporary slackness In orders produced 
by our high prices, the shipments from this port for 
the last couple of weeks being In the neighborhood 
0(3,008,080 bush.per week, instead of about5, 000,000 
for a considerable time before that. So rapidly has 
wheat been rushed on to England and France f rom 
this country uud Russia, that vast quantities of it 
are there accumulating In the hands of legitimate 
buyers and speculators. Mall advices of the loth 
state that the quantities of wheat and flour thus 
held were unprecedentedly large both in France 
and Great Britain: Russian crop reports Just 
officially published stale that the cereals, on the 
whole, were a fair average. Prices at the Black 
Sea and Baltic ports, however, are unusually stiff. 
Anyhow Russia’s average surplus Is less than a 
dozen million bushels—a mere trifle to the Eu¬ 
ropean need. 
In England, according to the Mark Lane Express, 
of the luth, all the crops were harvested, but in 
Scotland the harvest would last tur about ten days 
more. Much of the cereals were harvested In an 
unripe condition amid the snow. A good area has 
beeu sown to wheat under favorable conditions, 
but as the decrease last year In me wheat area 
was upwards of 300,000acres, It la certain that this 
year it will be still greater owing to hard times, 
discouragement at the prospect of ruinous Ameri¬ 
can competition, the large number of farms 
thrown on the hands of landlords, etc., etc. The 
necessary imports of foreign wheat are agreed to 
amount to 146 , 000,000 bushels. In view of the large 
visible supply, prices had fallen oil a trifle ; but 
later advices show that, they have recovered. The 
English crop Is short 30 per cent., and millers com¬ 
plain that It Is so poor that not more than 30 per 
cent, or It can be mixed with other wheats to 
make salable Uour. Milled by Itself, most 01 it 
would be unlit for the market. It Is thought that 
much of It will be used as feed, and that It will take 
two years to work the crop off. Roots were not 
much more than half crop. 
The shipments of live stock are growing smaller, 
but those of meat are Increasing as stormy 
weather and cold come on. The prospects for a 
bt lslc trade In spring are considered excellent. By 
the way, mall advices Just to hand, show mat the 
cablegram about me restrictions on our sheep Im¬ 
portations Into the British isles, referred to edito¬ 
rially, week before lost, was wrong, so far as 
Great Britain Is concerned, all restrictions were 
to be rt-moved after Nov. 83. Our sulciures on 
the appointment of stock examiners at the various 
ports, however, were deserved,, although the 
text for them was a mistake.

falling off in receipts, and exi orD rs have taken only 
894 bales agaifist 1,692 last Week But a more inuo rt- 
ant feature is the arrival htre of an invoice nt Ger¬ 
man hops. wliRh, though perhaps not of sufficient 
quantity to Influence ihe market unfavorably Is 
looked upon by many as a foreru'ner of wh.it may 
possibly follow in the shape "f Umortunt arrivals. 
The duty of 8 Cents per )b. on for.lgn bouswlll.lt Is 
believed, be no particular barrier against importa¬ 
tions, as It is but a small advance on the present r !gh 
prices of Amerirai that brewers will not count Our 
exireme quotations this week are nominal, and the 
general uiarket shows considerably less fl mness 
than last week.”
