BURLINGTON, 8 p. NJ, Friday.
The weather during the week has been
seasonable, and very favorable for farmers
to finish up their fall work. Since the late
storm we have had some pretty heavy
frosts, but it is not likely they will do any
harm. Corn has matured we'll, and veg
citation generally is out of danger. The re.
ports we have had heretofore of o. good corn
crop in the Des Moines Valley are con-
6rmed but in the lower tier Of counties,
next to the Missouri line, 1t is not 80 favor.
able-not over halfa crop will be gathered.
The drouth was very severe during June
and July. The wheat crop was also short.
The leading markets of the country have
vibrated with the price Of gold, and are
very much unsettled, but the tendency is
to higher figures than prevailed q week
ago. Gold closed yesterday at about 81 05,
being an advance Of from 10 to IL per cent.
during the week. Almost everything else
sympathized with it, and the result is .
general advance of prices.
In Chicago yesterday they reporta buoy
ant grain market, and quote wheat 10 cents
per bushel higher. No. 2 spring at 81 IS.

ported it looks 40 though drovers never
would learn that it don't pay to take poor
stock to market. The Government agents
are in the market for good beeves, and
packing has already commenced. The
supply of cattle 10 reported large, but the
active demand cleared the yards of all de-
sirable stock.
The Tribune. Of yesterday, says Of the
hog market:
Hogs-Received at the various yards,
about 1000 hogs. Entered 1853 head, at
IS 75@ II 62a, chiefly at SO SOIL per 100
pound.
numerous attendance Of packers and East
ern buyers, it would seem that our winter
season had really and fairly commenced.
In the market to-day, with an active de-
mand, there has been the entire absence OF
all excitement; and instead of that fever
ish and fluctuating state of things which
has more or less characterized this market
for some weeks past, there is q healthy and
firm activity pervading all classes of ope-
rators.
We noted yesterday the improved char
acter of the stock received this week; this
feature has been still more apparent to-
day, as may be seen from q slight atten-
ton to our sale list appended. Corn fed
hogs constitute almost the entire supply
Il
portance made to day was by j. Williams
to Curtis & Bates of 423 head, averaging 1877
pounds, at 80 so per 100 pounds.

increasing, and we note an advance over
