The Markets.

There has been very little change in the tone
of the general produce market during the week,
although as the opening of navigation approach
es there is an increasing activity, chiefly specula-
tive, and looking up of prices
THE Corn CRoP.-An intelligent correspond.
ent of a Chicago Commercial paper speculates as
follows in regard to Corn:
The most careful estimate of the Commissioner
OF Agriculture places the crop of the four great
corn States, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Ken.
lucky for 1867, at seven-tenths of that of 1866
which was very inferior in both quality and
quantity. That is to say, the crop of 1867 in
those four States is short by the enormous
amount 10000 900 bushels, as compared with
the year previous while the crop in the Eastern
or corn-consumlng States lie not, on the average
ct all in excess of that year. This fact insures
q continued good home demand, while the en-
larged consumption of the grain in Europe in.
sures brisk exporting call at full prices Some
diversity Of opinion exists as to the quantity
available the coming season for the purposes Of
commerce. The present stock in Chicago, Buff
falo, New York, the only considerable depots in
the country, is about 100000 bushels There
is on the line of the Illinois and Michigan Canal
but 500, 600 bushels, in store, and the Illinois
River towns hold just about double this quantity.
While it is true that Chicago holds an unusual
quantity of corn for the season. yet it is equally
true that the interior points are correspondingly
deficient in stock. When navigation shall have
been assumed, the various channels Of commerce
will rapidly absorb these comparatively light ac-
cumulations, and the great deficit in the corn
crop of 1867 will become daily more evident
With a we'll established deficit in the crop of Ill.
inois alone of 100000 bushels, as compared
with that of 1866 of which Chicago received and
shipped but little over 20,000,000 bushels, it
were superfiuous to argue or suppose that the
stock now in the hands of the farmers is any
thing but meagre. In conclusion. Mr.. Editor, I
wish to assure those ugly clears" on Change,
that the West this year is not second Egypt
and that they cannot count, as did their ances-
tors, the children of Jacob, on falling back OH
Pharaohs stock Of 'corn in store" for all they are
"short."
The same correspondent shows that the wheat
crop is equally "short." and that high prices in
both these staples must inevitably rule when
navigation opens.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

1t seems to be an undisputed fact las figures
won't lie that the public debt has only been re-
duced about $943, 900 during the past year. On
March LIST, 1867, the net public debt was
$2,52O, 763, ss9. and on March 1, 1868, $685.
S29,622 This small reduction, when the snor-
nous amount Of taxes levied and collected dur
ing the time is considered, seems very small, and
puts off the time when we hope to see the debt
down to a moderate figure to an indefinite
period, unless some new policy is adopted that
will lessen the running expenses Of the Govern
ment and save the payment of the large interest
now being paid on great portion of the debt.
Money in New York is reported tight, and the
rate of interest is stiff at per cent. Money in
Chicago is plenty, with an abundant demand
Money in Ottawa is very close, owing to the
general dullness in trade, and it is difficult to
borrow at any of the banks. This, of course,
will be partially relieved when trade springs up
again.
Gold is worth 139 in New York, and about 1877
