Business was Just so so to-day, with n
change to note in prices. Continued hrm
ness in meats prevails, and it would no
astonish us to see another jump upward
within the next few days. Stocks ar
light.
The sugar which left the port of NeJ
Orleans without paying duty is bein
traced up quite theoretically. In addition
to the lot seized at Louisville, an accoun
of which We gave a few days ago, tw,
hundred boxes and barrels were seized i
Chicago by the Collector of the Port 70
the non-payment of duties, as follows
I21 boxes of sugar from J.. G. Lyons
Co, consigned by l.. Sorts & Co. New Or
leans: 40 boxes from C. T. Durand 81 Co.
No. 327 South Water street, bought from
G. w. Walker, a consignee of Sorts
Co. and 40 bbls. from Hartman, McYeigl
& Co, 1856 River street, bought from s
W. Walker. Thirty-nine barrels wer,
seized in the hands of Mr.. Hancock, o
Dubuque, who bought of Walker. Also
about fourteen barrels in the hands o
Mr.. Rump, of Dubuque, who also got il
from Walker, who had received in al
about 900 boxes from New Orleans. The
sugar taken from Hartman, MeVeigh &
Co. was found spread on the floor, mixed
with other sugar, which the firm declared
had paid duty, but which was all seized.
There will be further seizures made, as
there is a large quantity in market that
never paid duty.

The cultivation Of fax is daily incress-
ing in Importance as a product of West
ern SOIL It's value hitherto has been
greatly under estimated, inasmuch rs it
was raised for the seed only, while the
fiber of straw was allowed to go to waste;
but within the past few years machinery
has been so constructed as TO work up
this article to good advantage, and is now
extensively used for the manufacture of
bagging, which is in active demand for
q herring cotton. 1t has been shown by

made better and heavier than common
bagging, or any article heretofore brought
