Ae gist of the markets. 
Pkice3 of farm products still have, i u most cases, 
an upward tendency at the chief collecting cen¬ 
ters. The higher figures for grain for future de¬ 
livery up to .May next, show that speculators 
have little fear of any immediate fall In prices. 
Besides the loss from vermin, the risks 01 lire and 
the cost of storage, however, farmers who are 
holding back their crops, should not torget the 
considerable loss lu weight of grain during stor¬ 
age. The amount of this has lately been deter¬ 
mined with the greatest accuracy by olliclals In 
charge ot the State Granaries of Prussia on the 
basis of many years’ experience. The loss In 
wheat, rye, barley, and podvvare amounts to 
1.3 percent. In the rlrst quarter of a year; 0.9 per 
cent. In the second three months; 0.5 in the third, 
and o n per cent, In the rourth quarter a loss, 
thereiure, in the Hist year of exactly 3 per cent. 
In each following year the loss Is estimated at # 
per cent, id the turee months, or i per cent, an¬ 
nually. In the case of oats the loss Is l.T per cent, 
tn the lirst quarter, o.O. per cent. In the second, 
0.0. per cent, in the third, and 0.3 per cent. In the 
fourt h, a total loss therefore during the Lwelve 
months of 3.5 per cent, in each succeeding sea¬ 
son the loss Is at the rate of o.a per cent, per 
quarter, or 1.2 per cent, tn the year. These 
Observations relate only to the high class grain 
stored in the Government magazines; Jn Inferior 
grain the loss would be proportionately consider¬ 
ably higher. 
All over the country as the packing season pro¬ 
gresses, the prices of hogs are rapidly advancing 
until now Chicago pays higher figures lor her 
supply than at. any time within the last two years. 
Nearly a twelvemonth ago we predicted that the 
plgs-pen was likely to pay this season, and sug¬ 
gested that It would not be Solomon-Like for 
farmers all to get disgusted at the low returns 
that then prevailed. It looks as ll‘the top figures 
for hogs i his winter are several steps higher than 
those now obtained. 
13y mall advices of Nov. 2-1 we learn that the 
Kchn AjrUfOle— the first authority on French agri¬ 
culture-estimates the French consumption of 
wheat tills cereal year at:

Mr. Scott, writing to the the London Times, 
however, puis It at 32S,2SO.Otl0j which seems to be 
a trifle too large as It would amount to eight bush¬ 
els or 5iM lbs. per capita, whereas r> >, bushels per 
head serve the usual wauts of European people. 
The Mark Lane Express ot the 2nd Inst. In re¬ 
viewing the British grain trade for the previous 
week says, that the autumn sowing was not com¬ 
pleted and that farmers must wait for a thaw. 
. Fanners wore pushing forward their grain to 
market, but so poor was It and until for nulling, 
that but, lit,tin of It sold except at reduced rates. 
Large arrivals of Russian wheat depressed the 
market somewhat; but holders were still Arm and 
confident, as the Russian surplus must soon be 
exhausted, and the American supply cut short by 
the closing of the canals, while the winter con¬ 
sumption would Increase. Indian corn was In 
better demand and advaneud ‘, 0 . a bushel. The 
imports Into the United Kingdom during the week 
ending Nov. 22 , were 1 ,644,735 owls, of wheat and 
239,39(1 cwt, of Hour. 
Cablegrams irorn Liverpool, Englaud, dated 
Thursday, Duo. 5, say that the gram trade during 
the week was extremely active, with a better con¬ 
sumptive demand at higher prices both for English 
and foreign cereals. Cargoes oil coast were firmly 
held, while those for future arrival were In re- 
zfuest at steady figures. Transactions that day In 
wheat and corn a ere at rull rates, with an advance 
of 2c, In American red winter wheat. The llual 
rates were #c. above those for the previous Thurs¬ 
day. The receipts of wheat lor three days were 
mo.uoo centals, of which ss.ooo were American. 
Wheat, No. 3 spring, steady at IDs. id. per too lbs ; 
No. 2 spring, steady at 108. Rid.; new western 
winter steady at Us. 0<1. corn, mixed steady at 
5s. 9d. per cental. Cotton had declined #<L early 
In the week, but later on prices had become firmer 
and closed on Thursday # cent above those of the 
Thursday before. American cheese.on Wednes¬ 
day last brought 66a. per cwt. for the best grades- 
From Mincing Lane (London), same date, we learn 
that the dctlclency In the beet sugar supply of 
Europe Is 250,uoo tons, as compared with last 
year’s yield.

Selling priecs. as before, for ordinary to good table

tor “something olT,” and, as before, there Is no 
yielding In tlm strictly faoey fall grades. The ex¬ 
tremes or last week are not civeu, but dealers have 
such full control of the supply that they aro en¬ 
abled, « oh the present liberal storing, to regulate 
their offering and “best” often means the best that
