The receipt Of Corn during the year 1868
foot up Il, ,45o, sos bushels, against 90 AZ, ,ss5
bushels. THIS falling off in the receipts during
the year, our readers need scarcely be in
formed, is wholly due to the damage to the
new crop by tho severe frosts of 29th Of
August and the early part Of September. Up
to that period the receipts Of Corn were two
millions of bushels greater thnn during the
corresponding period Of 1869. -.
AS to tho extent Of the damage to the corn
crop there is even Jet considerable difference
Of opinion; but it is generally admitted on
a1l bands, that It will not yield, in merchanta~
ble corn, more than one-half an average crop,
and there are: some who think that It will
prove much less:

BEEF CATTLE
The receipts Of Beef Cattle at the yrrious yards
amount to about eco head, aud the entered sales
to s33, at prices ranging from s. 90 8 100 d..
The receipts, though unusually small, would ap-
pear to be fully equal to the limited demand Of
the Market The usual buyers arc mostly absent,
and but for the regular and rather large number Of
cattle at present required for tho army the yards
may es well be closed aa open for all the business
that would apparently be done. This iRaction is,
however, usual at this season OF the rear,
and ts therefore taken as nattst
Of eouree. In tho limited number

after next Monday. Money easily commands 10
per cent. Or Its equivalent. The Chicago market
being easier, some Of heaviest grasn operators
have had their paper discounted principally there
for several days. snd this has relieved the strlu-
Eency in the market to come extent"
AT ST. Lou1s.-The st. Louis Democrat taJs:--
Monetary affairs were very quiet to-d,y.. Bankers
we're generally without New York dispatches
most ofthe day, the lines beng tlowu; and the
gold market was dull In consequence thereof
Dealers bought 1t 50152H 2 cent. premium, and

At C1KCEENATL-The Cincinnati G1.etke SAYS:
There vas fair but not pressing demand for
money today. The offerings Of paper, however,
Nere fully up TO the wants Of 1endere aud rates Of
interest we're firmly maintained at SOLO per cent.
in The open marlat-the latter the prevailing
figure. Call loans were made At $40 per cent.
Government securities were dull at dis. for or

From a pesual Of the above table It will
be eecn that tl,t prices Of Corn have advanced
nearly one hundred per cent. since the date
Of tho first frost, ut the end Of August, and
that they are n>w nearly three times higher
than At the clos Of 1859. It WIu also be seen
that the New FORK market held ont to the
last against ths influence Of the frost; but 1t
had in the end to follow the markets Of the
West.
The receipts of Oats during the year 1868
amount to 0,:so, 5o5 bushels, against i, ,13s,
722 bushels in B6o This immense increase
in the trade in Oats is due entirely to the &C.
tire demand which has existed during the
year by government, and to the excellence,
both in quality and yield, Of the crop. OF
course IT is needless to state that the dam
age to the Cord crop caased much greater
demand for oats and stimulated prices very
materially.

SIR: The Island Treasurer, Mr.. J. Bra.

two and half dollar "gold piece" (Ameri-

the much despised dust of the highways.
Aluminium, as most persons know, is met

of aluminium and ninety.fve parts and a
half of copper can evidently be coined in
to the most perfect resemblance to q two and
half dollar piece that it is possible to ina
gine. They say nothing is so much like a
good shilling as bad one. Several of my
friends can vouch for it that nothing is more
like two and half dollar piece than the
one made of aluminium bronze, worth about
penny, and for which they were going to
give me ten shillings and three pence good
silver in exchange. Out of eight trials, L
succeeded three times in passing the false
coin for genuine gold-of course in fun,
otherwise I would not tell you and your
readers 1t is not likely that the piece hand.

Gold being at such high premium in A.

nedcent purpose of supplying the glorious
Union with substitute resembling gold as
near as can be.
