CoFFEE.-Advices have been received from
Rio de Janeiro as late as the 18th of September,
which represent the Cholera as abating, though
its existence seems to have affected the coffee
market slightly. Messrs. Maxwell, Wright &
Co., in their circular of the 18th of September,
say:
AS predicted in our recent circulars, the supplies
of Coffee falling off and the prices advancing.
For several days there has been very little good IN
market, and prices are fully 200s higher than on
the arrival Of the packet from England For quail
ties for which we paid the 4th inst, 600, 800
is now demanded and sales effected; fine superiors
are held at 5 1000. The general opinion that sup
plies would fall off and prices advance, led to the
prompt execution of all orders, and the consequent
large shipments of the past month; but still the av-
erage monthly shipments since the lst January, are
only So 900 bags to the United States and as the old
crop must be nearly exhausted l00 600 bgs having
been shipped since July l, 1884, and that of it
which is appearing being chiefly trash, and as
the sortness of the new crop is reported from all
quarters and confirmed by short receipts up to this
late PERIOD it is the opinion that the monthly ship
ments will be less and less during the whole of this
crop year, and that notwithstanding the large sup
plies of old Coffee up to this time, the shipments
from July last to July next will not exceed ,70O,
600 to 100000 bags against 2,5O0, 900 last year.
Dallemant MacGregor say:
The principal enquiry has been and continues to
be tor neO COffees the relative receipts OF which, as
compared with those of old Coffees, are still very
small; so much so, that although well advanced as
we are in the season, it has hitherto been next to
impossible to complete an entire cargo of neo Cot
fees. Our stock is now reduced to 10000 bags,
consisting chiefly of inferior descriptions. Consid
ering the great scarcity of prime Coffees Tleo
pecialy it is not unlikely that farther advance in
prices may occur, if market should continue to
be so poorly assorted as hitherto.
The Baltimore Patriot, of Friday afternoon, the
I'd inst, says
When we left the coffee market last week it was
firm Holders not disposed to concede. Since
then transactions have been moderate. Not much
disposition to purchase at the prices cOntened for.
Sales in the past seven DAYS reach in all about $500
bags at lO8c for rejected and ordinary Rio to I;
for fair and good to prime 1l!all4c. Some very
choice small lots at l2c. Nothing done in LaGua0

HOGS-a correspondent vi TIC CllSihhati |tCo
Current, writing from Danville, KY, under date of
the 29th ult, says
There are more hogs fattened and will go to mar.
ket from Kentucky this year than last, by 81 per
cent; the number killed at Louisville last year from
Kentucky, was l24 600 head; this year the number
will reach 200, 900. No man who will examine the
case can come to any other concusOn-each cOun-
ty in this part of the State will send onethird more
hogs to market this year than last.
Hogs will be full late, and the high prices and
want of money by the feeder will induce the feeder
to sell off close.
Indiana may fall of, and NAV Ohio; but for
year.
The Springfield Qll.) Register, of the 25th ult.,
says:
We hear of 5ut few contracts for pork in this re-
giOn, and none OF sufficient Importance to give a
clue to the rates likely to prevail The feeders are
demanding from So so to Sc per hundred. The
packers are holding back. We suppose prices will
be fixed upon by the first of the month.
The Quincy Qn.) Wing, of the 9th ult, says:
We hear of no recent contracts at this point, but
we think it may be safely assumed that good hogs,
for early delivery, would bring S. go Holders are
pretty independent however, and we doubt wheth-
er there could be many purchases effected at that
figure, at present.
CORN.-Sales of corn in the field are reported to
have been made in Montgomery county, Ill, at
from IS to 81 per acre, being equal to 10 or u
cents per bushel.
