BOSTON MARKETS; The Shipping List of the Sd

BosToN MARKETs.-The Shipping List of the Sd
inst. remarks as follows:
In nearly all departments of trade business con-
tnues quite dull, and buyers are purchasing only
for immediate wants. Breadstutts appear to be
the only eXcitabe articles. With speculative de-
mand in Western and neighboring markets, Corn
has advanced materially, hut reaction has taken
place near the close. With the prospect of active
export movements, very full prices are likely to
be realized for Corn, but present prices on THIS
side are above the shipping point, and recent
speculative movements are based on a further ad-
vance in European markets. Flour sustains very
full prices, and all choice white wheat brands are
gradually advancing, on account of prospective
scarcity of this description. Provisions are dull,
and prices of all kinds gradually tending down
ward, with the prospect Of better supplies at
lower prices.
Some lots of new Pork have been received, but
as packers in this neighborhood have no conf
dence in anything like present prices, they will
hold back until late in the season before com
mencing active operations. The fall demand for
Boots and Shoes is over. and the Dry Goods mar
ket has become very dull and depressed, both
COttons and Woolens having moved off quite
slowly the past week. In Wool there is no i'm
proVement, and this article continues to sell at
| very low and unsatisfactory prices. In Groceries
and Calcutta Goods the movements have been
quite moderate, and there appears to be general
disposition the part of the trade to purchase
few goods as possible, the abundance of money
| failing to lead to any speculative movement ex-
|
Loans on call are made 4(96 f8 cent, and first
class paper continues to be taken at the banks on
the street at SOC t3 cent.
CINCINNATI MARKET.-The Price Current, of the
! 4th says:
Business continues dull, generally, with want of
faith in the future. Dealers buy sparingy and
cautiously. The prospective price of pork being
so low discourages farmers aud country merchants,
| who had been depending upon it to meet Oblga-
tons which it cannot. Corn is running up to high
| pTinnS huf these cannot he Tnali2nd for the
| crop until spring. Those who have wheat and
oats are now getting good prices, and on the
whole, matters look pretty we'll for the farmers
so that after little we may look for an improve
ment in business.
SPECULATION ON THE GROWING CRoP.-The re
turns to the department of agriculture state thai
the corn crop has sdeerioratedfrom early frosts 9d
excessive rains, but the quantity of the crop i
larger than was ever produced in the country
| The yield of wheat will not vary much from l4S :
| 100000 bushels, showing small per centage de-
| crease, which is fully compensated by the COM
paratively superior quality of the grain. This is
l0,000,0 900 bushels more than the crop of 1859 and
within 600 900 bushels of product in DronortiOn
to the increased population. The dmnuton in
the South is more apparent. The estimates point
to less than l7,O00,000 bushels in eleven States
heretofore unTepOrted a fraction less than five
tenths of the crop of 1859. The California wheat
harvest of which little note has been publicly
made in connection with the present crop, is eX.
cessiVe. In 1860 the product Of that young State
was nearly 100000 bushels Now it is seriously
claimed by leading California agricuturalists that
the surplus for export will nearly double that
quantity.
It is evident the entire wheat crop will exceed
by several millions that of 1852 when the yield
was reported at l73 lO4,924 bushels. Then there
were five and a half bushels to each individual
! In 1866 the estimates point to five bushels to
each inhabitant. There is no ground, then, fol
apprehensons of q scarcity, and little excuse III
| the amount of the crop for the starvation prices
The yield of oats is extraordinary, and the
quality excellent. The indications point to ar
