The commercial world, in sympathy with
Dame Nature, is now taking on winter aspect,
The cold weather Of yesterday and to-day is gen
orally accepted as The beginning Of the winter
season, and it comes just at the time the change
is usually experienced, as shown by The fact that
our winter storage rates on grain commence
theoretically tomorrow, though practically not
till the 1st of December. The season Of naviga-
tion will probably close earlier this year than
usual, as few vessel owners care to 60 to the
expense Of reinauring their bulls, and many
regard to the stability of the companies that
have carried their risks through the summer:
Now, therefore, we must 1cok forward to rali
shipments for the carrying of Of our surplus OF
been made to carry out some q, 900 or 80 oo9 bu
wheat BY rail, which, at Csc per 100 ibs to New
York, is equivalent to 39c per bu Of 60 lbs, OF
just about the difference in price between the
two markets, after allowing for our storage. :.
There is reason to hope that by the end
Of this month our stocks of grain will be
small enough to permit them to be
weighed over without difficulty. 1t is M

make critical and close comparison Ut the results,

ensily be DONE in every case except with tue old

abouts, and report for the benefit Of the said
creditors, seem to have been unsuccessful, thus
far, or re should certainly have heard from
them ere this. The people who reported that
they saw Diamond in New York, and conyersed
with him, wero evidently as much mistaken as
the folks who expected to see tho moon eclipEed

Ia it not pity that tho regulations of business
men should be thus cruelty assailed, without
hope Of redress?
The great question on Change to-day Taa,
where did that 116,262 bu wheat go TO, that
60 mysteriously disappeared from the North
western Elevator 9 few days ago? We indicated
this morning that possibly the rats had eaten it
possible that the Jsrrets are after it, and With a
fair chance Of unearthing it.
TIE MARKETS.
The leading produce markets were moderately
active to-day, With few important changes in
prices. Pork and barley we're lower, aad wheat
stronger, making the average OF prices about
the same as yesterday. The shipping movement
was quiet, but again greater than the
| volume of receipts. Tho specula-
tive movement vas fairly active.
Groceries we're moving on a liberal scale, with
little change in values, ]4c advance in stearine
being The only alterations noted: Sugars con
tinue strong, and will no doubt further appre-
ciate, as there is scarcity Of refined. IS well aa
