MARKETS.

BURLINGTON, 8 P. M. FRIDAY.
The weather during the week has been season
able, rain enough to bring along Spring crops
with rapidity, reports from all parts Of the
country continue favorable for winter wheat.
Farmers still busy planting corn. Receipts OF
grain at this point have been light and prices are
without material change. Good winter wheat IL
steady at 81 o. spring 65@70. Oats, in conse-
quenceo f dull market in Saint Louis, are lower,
so cents is now an extreme price for CHOICE
Corn 5000
Yesterday being Fast Day we have no report
from Chicago later than Wednesday evening,
when No. 2, spring wheat closed at 81 COOL o.
No. 9, winter 81 60 Rejected spring SIC. Corn
was firm and in good demand, 4Sc for mixed Sic
prime yellow. Oats easier, $3.50 for No. l, and
active, withsales at 39c. Hides continues to de-
cline, SC for green sailed, the highest quotation
reported.
Live Stock-Receipts unusually light, prices
very firm and should certainly be satisfactory to
drovers. Finer Cattle S. COOS Is; ordinary 81 0O
"a SO; common 50 so Hogs 81 25@4 rs; Sheep 81 SO
per cwt. Mutton chops at these figures we hard
ly think would digest well.
The opening of Lake navigation has been fol-
lowed by immense shipments of grain, still
freights open comparatively low;7 cents for Corn
and 8 cents for Wheat to Buffalo, seem to be the
prevailing rates. No reports of shipments by
canal from, Buffalo to New York; 16 cents per
bushel will probably be about the opening fig
ure, with corn at 25 cents. Freight from Chicago
to New York and the latter market quoted
at 81 cents 1t looks like higher prices should
prevail in the West, and doubtless would but for
the fact that the Railroads centering in Chicago
still insist on the pound of flesh" And we
would once more suggest that this matter should
receive attention from the "Ditch Digging Con
vention soon to assemble in Chicago. The Sec
rotary of the Committee ofinvitation in Chicago
from his long connection with one of the prom
nent Railroads in Illinois. is doubtless familiar
with the subject, and the public have right to
expectthat it will be brought prominently before
them.
The River at this point is rising. and reports
from up stream say more of the same sort COM
ing, the Northern Line boats are carrying full
freights both ways. A
Annexed will be found our usual full reports
of this and other markets.
