The consumption in 1867 was as follows:

From which it appears that Great Britain and
her colonies, with the United States, consume hall
the sugar of the world.
As vet we have no data from which exact in
formation can be had as to the product OF Cuoa
in 1865, but gentlemen having the best means OF
estimating generally consider the crop about four
million boxes-or say 600, 900 900 lbs.
The Chicago Republican of the 18th says:
Whatever may be said in favor OF corners
il cannot be denied that the late one on wheat has
almost eectuslly killed the trade of our city for
the time being. Since July 1.-THE corner break
ing on June 30) there have been butfew-noto over
q dozen or so-round lots Of this cereal either
bought or sold outside Of those disposed OF for
shipment by parties who engineered the move
ment. Spectators have taken hold very spar
lpply, seeming afraid to operate until some de-
cided move is made by those who are holding
large amounts OF this cereal, lest some msnlpula-
tion of the ring may knock their calculations over
board and prove disastrous, and there is no ap.
parent disposition either to buy or sell options
Sales from day TO day are almost wholly confined

ing of San Francisco Treasure and Merchandise
Operations viz
Messrs. Plat & Newton give Us the following
overland advices from San Francisco under date
of July 6: In our issue of May 80 we gave the
table of the treasure shipments made by the sub
treasurer, and not entered at the Custom House,
and Of which no mention is made by the authori.
ties. Up to April 30 the amount forwarded
reached "a 600 600 and since then 81 500 900 more
have beeu sent away in three sums of $500, 900
each, on the N. A. 8. s. Companys steamers,
making total of $500 600 for the first six
months in 1868, which is $4,000 more than the
shipment by the sub treasurer IN 1867. during
fbe rebellion there was a reasonable excuse for
concealnQ these government shipments OF treas
ure but that reason has ceased to exist, aud II IS
but Just and proper that our public shou De al
yised Of SO important a matter as the senoog
away of vast amounts Of specie. IL is to be
hoped that the secresy now imposed upon the
sub-treasurer may be Withdrawn and the business
community put in possession of full knowledge on
the subject of our treasure shipments. The
amount above given does not include the sums Tor
Harded by the sub treasurer.
COnbi,ied ETpOrts-The combined exports OF
merchandise and treasure for the first SIX months
of 1865 fall short Of those for 1857 by III

the merchandise exports for the current year only
fall short of those for 1867 by the sum 0, 49, 4Io

CoITos-The movement of the leading staple
still shows increasing depression. Advices from
Liverpool and New York disclose disposition on
the part OF spectators to put prices down to the
lowest figures possible before the new crop enters
the market, so that the opening OF 1868 and 69
may be signalized by exceedingly reduced rates.
As the remnant Of our stock Is but little better
than nominal, however, and as heavy receipts of
the new crop are not looked for at an early day.

{ A. Hog Item.

We have hog item that lis well
worth the attention of our farmers.
John Voorhees,, Esq. living 5 miles east
Of Pella, sold q few days ago, 100 head
Of hogs to Charles Force, for Gonna.
BE Il Smith, Of Keokuk, which aver.
aged 4O4 pounds; fifty Of these from
thirteensto twenty. months old aver
aged $50 pounds; . few of the lar
gcst averaged 615 TBS; the pricc per
hundred was $6.25, while common
halle splitterss that probably eat
twice the amount of corn as Mr..
Voorhees, are worth only four TO Eve
dollars per hundred. These 100 head
tof porkersl brought Mr.. Voorhees, the
neat little sum Of 81, 900 less $3.50.
We desire in this connection to
call the attention Of our farmers to d
few facts. There are three advanta-
ges in raising such hogs as those. -
Firtly,it don't take ncar thecorn to

Secondly, they grow into money.

Thirdly, such large fat hogs always

the advantage in always keeping q
superior stock ofhogs, cattle or any
