SRA BURLINGTON, Friday. r. N.
The weather during the past week has been
very unfavorabe for out door business; snow,
rain and mud enough to suit the most fastid-
Gus. Ice in the river began to move on Wednes
day, bu. is not all gone yet. The Ferry boat is
making trips regularly doubtless BY TO morrow
morning the ice will all have dissppsared.-
The roads in the country are next to impassa-
bic for loaded teams, consequently receipts
light, for with liberal arrivals of grain SC We
would have very active market. COMPETE
ton in leading articles continues, to the salts
faction of sellers.
Oats are wanted at so cents y bushel We
notice sales in Cincinnati during the week at
70 cents in bulk and 80 cents In bsgs. A
Government contract for 100000 bushels was
awarded at St. Louis week ago at SO cents,
including bags. Ash 10 2s9H z s&L :
Corn, the receipts have been SO light We can
hardly give quotations, bnt presume 2Itos3o
cents would be about the range for good sound
mixed. Rye, steady at so centsfor prime.
Wheat is WITHOUT material change, good mill
ing spring sells readily at 80 to 95; Mol win

Gold took an upward turn in New York on
Wednesday, and sold at 6O4 CENTS. Whilethis
state of things continues We may look for an
active demsnd Tor western products ana at
high prices. .aasss.s !
The Hog season being over. drovers have
turned their attention to cattle, the B. & NJ. R.
r. brought in large stock trains yesterday and
Wednesday, and, as there will now be NO de.
tention here on account Of ice in the river, VI
look for increased and active business
The following with reference to the Hog
trade for the Season is from the Cincinnati
Price Current Of Wednesday. - --''@' -
In this increase We may add the increase in
the number packed at ST. Louis, over eur form
er estimate %, 900, and at Keokuk 5000, which
will swell to total increase as far AZ the packing
is heard from, to 964, 724. There seems to be
little or no doubt that the packing At Chicago
vii. reach our first estimate, 100000; and,
should this be the case, it is pretty certain that
the increase in the number of hogs packed in
the West the present season, as compared with
last, will be fully million. This is certainly
remark able, and result wholly unexpected by
the trade. The increase last season wss unusu-
al and indeed unthought Of previously; because,
in looking over the statistics of the pork crop
in the West for twenty years, it was seen that
the increase had been comparatively small, and
the progress in the breeding of hogs slow, up to
1850, Notwithstanding the inducements held out,
on many occasions. 1t Is in viewing the case
(rou stap nd nj hat tho al
1860 seems OF such wonderful magnitude, and
the result is almost incredible. Iowa seems. TO
be 1HB State in which the most rapid strides
have been made; for, not only is the increase
large at the packing points In that State, but
the increase in the number shipped out Of it to
the East aud Chicago, we are Informed by our
correspondents, is astonishingly large. We have
not the letter OF our correspondent at BurliDg
ton, at hand, but our impression 10 that the ship
ments made from that point, alone, to Chicago,
this season, were about 10000 head .a.,
