Chicago Markets.

CHICAGO Friday Evening, March 10.
Under the decline in god the Produce markets
here were vely much unsettled on Change and
characterized by decline in almost everything.
The favorable turn in the afternoon and evening,
however caused frmer feeling, and gave price. Of
all descriptions an upward tendency. Large quanti-
ties of Produce sold ''short" has had the effect of
making holders more firm and imparting greater
strength to the market. The following Is sum
may OF the transactions on Change while eyery-
thing was affected BY the depression in gold: Wheat
very unsettet and Sc lower, opening at $1.s5h@
ls6, and closing weak at s1.34x for No. l Spring;

VACANT Ions AND LANDS IN AND

AROUND ST.. PAUL-WHAT SHALL BE DONE
WITH THEM.-That which produces nothing is
worth nothing. That which will not sell is
worth nothing This is precisely the condition
of this class of property above named.
Here these lots and lands lie from year to
year and their thriftless and shiftless owners
with squirming, grimaces and some profane
''praying," pay taxes on them from year to
year, waiting for another 1857 ground sreH to
rattle them off like gold in Wall street. or pc
troleum stock in shoddy circles. Such SVEN
they are not destined to see. The utilitarlan
has superseded the speculative era.
They should have faith enough TO oelleVe
this and begin to square themselves for taxing
things as thew are. What they need to 90 Is
to lease these vacant tax sponges and make
them pay their Uay.
Rv advancing the same money they pay out
for taxes on their lots, almost any OF our heavy
holders of unproductive real estate could fence
and lease out enough of their property to pay
the taxes on all for each succeeding year. Be-
sides this, they could improve them by setting
out shade trees, which would add rs per cent,
to their value and make them what they are
not now-saleable.. Until some such effort as
this is made by owners of lots and lands, it is
useless for them to complain of high taxes or
dull markets. They are entitled to no sym.
patty whatever. They hold their property 80
high as to prevent its sale. They will not inn
prove themselves, nor let any one else i'm
prove. Their policy is that of the dog in the
manger. In the meantime every other citizen
has to pay for their want of public spirit by
the high prices exacted for every species of
vegetable and produce sold in our markets. A
vacant 40, 80, or 16O, or a vacant lot held in
this way is an incubus upon our prosperity.
The owners are dead weights on the commu-
lty, passengers in the boat with chalked hats
and dead heads, drones who eat the honey
which others make, and whenever you hear
them whine about taxes" &C., just ask them
if they have ever fenced lot, built house,
broke furrow, set out a tree or given any
poor laboring man or mechanic the opportu-
nifty to do 80 for them. If not, they have only
themselves to blame.

In addition to the above there has been about
$50 hogs cut and packed by number of gro
GERS and boarding house keepers making to.
tai of 5S47 hogs cut and packed in this city
during the past season.
The general average weight of the hogs
packed this winter is 2O5 pounds. making
total weight of 1,O96, 1876 lbs of pork or over
5000 barrels.
The average price paid per pound, dressed,
was 121sc, showing the large amount of
$137, OH, paid out for pork in this market. In
addition there has been very large sum paid
for pork for private consumption.
We have found it impossible to obtain accu-
rate information concerning the amount of
lard rendered by our packers, but it cannot
fall much short of $4,000 pounds, say $50 bbls.
of 240 lbs. each.
The pork packing business of st. Paul dates
E back to the year 1859, when Mr.. c. K. Whine
established the first regular Packing house
although We believe Nr. Charles Golfer
packed q number of barrels in the fall and
winter of 1888. Since that time the trade
has been on the increase. We give below a
tabular statement of the pork packed in Saint
Paul for the past six winters:

HoNoRs ARE EASY IN A New COUNTRY.

HONORs ARE EASY IN A NEW COUNTRY.
We scarcely ever knew city or State where
honor was cheap and titles so easy now, as this
city and State. Formerly the "Hon." was
never prefxed to o mans name unless he had
attained to the dignity of Congressman, Gov
ernor, or positions of similar grade. Now ev.
cry member of a Legislature is an ''Honor-
able" and even an Alderman is frequently
dubbed Hon. Mr.. So-and.so.
A young man just out of his teens, but
scarcely out OF his green's comes West and
starts school of urchins with moist noses, and
in his card announces that 'Professor" So-and.
80 will commence his second term on such
day. Every grammar school teacher is
Professor" Every vagabond who can read
and write and knows enough to teach the lat
ter art and who has cut loose from his parents
to make his pile in the West, to start "wrt-
ing school," dubbs himself at once professor
Hyfyer," teacher of the "Spencerian System,
&C."
Even the old darkey, who graced the col.
ored circles of st. Paul few years since, and
scillated between the jai and the public ros.
trum, won and wore the same title of "Pro-
fessor." Professor anderson was as much en-
titled to the distinction as many who procure
the title and wear it in these days of "cheap
honor" We submit to these prominent aspi-
rants for high titles to come down to level
with other people, and be satisfied with plain
Mister-until time, distinguished services or
high attainments shall justify the assumption
of titles which now only make them ridicu.
lous as compeers and competitors of Professor
Anderson, or that other Professor of the ton
serial art-Prof. Cromwell, who now graces
the colored circles of st. Cloud Let the sue
cessful teacher, lawyer, merchant or mechanic
be satisfied with the same plain democratic
title of Mister, and then there will be no such
ridiculous mingling of learned Swans, vaga-
bond niggers and Jail birds, two-penny writing
and dancing masters, shallow-pated peda.

Or INTEREST TO MERCHANTS AND SHIP
pKRs-The following dispatch was received
yesterday by ]. J. Hill, Esq, Agent N. W.
Packet Co. 1t explains itself:
MILWAUKEE, March 10, 1865.
Merchandise rates from Milwaukee and Chi
c,yo 10 st. Paul, will be: LIST class, $1.35; I'd
class, $1.2O; Sd class, S1.05; 4th class, 95
cents; salt, $1.55. 81. B. WILKINS,
General Freight Agent.
1t may be proper to state that a recent meet
ing OF railroad and steamboat men was held at
Milwaukee to settle among other matters the
rates OF freight, and the above is the result of
their consultations. The above rates are only
five cents higher on LIST class freights and if
teen cents advance on salt over last years high
water rates.

ST. PAUL WHAT 1T Is AND WHAT
STRANGERS THINK OF IT.-Perhaps there is
not place in America of which its citizens
are as proud as the st. Paul people are of their
city. Meet them in New York or Boston they
all and always stand up for st. Paul, stoutly
maintaining that this city for its age is ahead of
any of them. Much, indeed, can truthfully be
said for st. Paul as all acknowledge who recall
the jolts and disasters of the past eight years,
and behold the steady substantial growth of
the city during that time. If We have so sue
cessfully marched forward through the long
miserable years of panic and war times,
what may we not expect of st. Paul from this
time forward when all competitors concede
that this is, and of right ought to be, the
point. Does any man with eyes and brains
question that st. Paul will from this time forth
stand the acknowledged city of the Northwest,
And is it not to day the commercial centre:
the financial centre, the political centre, and
the great railroad centre of this vast North
western country. Holding this position now,
with our youth, size and vigor, what will we
be when we have the five or six railroads com.
pleted into st. Paul on which men will be at
work this summer Have you ever thought
of this? Our people are not half thankful for
the many advantages that st. Paul has over all
other places west of st. Louis and Chicago
Do you think our people so favored should
longer neglect to do their share toward max
st. Paul not only great but beautiful city.
Did you ever take ride around st. Paul in
the summer with stranger without being ask
ed why all this land around the city is Just as
the Indians left it? No change except that
wrought by the wood thieves, who have mar
red and defaced it. Would any man, knowing
its real producing capacity, believe that
Christian people would so long permit such
valuable land to remain unused-a reproach to
our people in the eyes of all who visit u.s. We
all know how pleasant and cheerful it is to
drive out round city on good roads, studded
tastefully with shade trees, and behold on either
side fields of waving grain-gardens filled with
mammoth vegetables and embellished with
myriads OF boquets. Where is the land that
equals ours in producing good crops-delight-
full shade trees-huge vegetables, and beautiful
flowers? And where is there such proof to
convict people of sloth and negligence as is
furnished by our city and its surroundings,
We need not present the dollar view of the
question when we remember what it costs at
our market to fill his vest pocket with veget.
ables or get single sniff of rosebud. Expert
ence has proved that man who will work can
make enough from one acre here in one year
to buy dozen acres along side of it. The war
may stop, but the eating business will 90 on.

We have no means OF determining the
amount of pork packed in other parts of the
State, although the business has been carried
on to more or less extent at st. Peter, Manka-
to, Faribault, and other places. Sufficient
however is known to warrant us in saying that
raising pork in Minnesota is business of great
and increasing importance, and is fast becom-
ing source of wealth to our State. The
prices paid for pork during the past winter
have ruled very high, and farmers and others
who were engaged in fatting it have realized
fine profit. Not so, we fear, has been the case
with the packers generally. The price of salt
pork Fer barrel in the Eastern markets did not
in our judgment at any time justify the high
price paid in this market. for dressed hogs.
One cause of high prices in this market is
found in the fact that the Government was in
the market for some 1900 barrels, and parties
having the contracts for furnishing it
were obliged to compete with the
regular packers in order to obtain their
supply, and hence the high prices. Al
though large increase in the number of bar
rels packed is seen over the past year, pork
will rule high in price during the year, and
especially SO in this State. The government
has already absorbed nearly one half of that
packed, and will undoubtedly be in the market
for more before the next season. Add to this
the fact that nearly 1000, 900 less hogs have
been cut and packed the past winter in the
West generally, as shown by statistics of the
Chicago and other markets, and We can reason
&c hat
dealers here have paid high prices they will
yet realize a handsome profit, provided they
can hold their pork
