the mountains. In their search they
went to the house Of George W. Lilly,
on the hills Of Little Blue Stone river, to
make certain inquiries which they had
reason TO believe said Lilly could ansWer.
They found Lilly absent in The woods,
hunting, as his family alleged, and while
waiting for his return from the woods
they took dinner with the family. After
dinner, and Lilly not returning to the
house, the party mounted aud started to

HAY


At TuI BEGINNING or THE TEAR
tho market nus very dull. The crop Of 1875
WIS heavy, and badly stained by tho ralns; and
there wns ltttc outside demand for It, tho local
trade being supplied by the ncighboring fasu-
crs. Prices were very low, and tho business un-
rcmuncrative. Tho crop OF 1876 was IN average
one in the West, and was secured In excellent
condition.
Since tho new crop began to movo there has
been very good Eastern demand for timothy
hay, which, however, was hampcred by tho scar-
city Of cars, md has since been partly checked
by the advance In rail frclghta In SONG sscc-
tlons of the East tho crop and passurage wero
shortened by the drought, ncccsaltating tho
feeding OF llay earlier than usual, and, owing 10
the low prices aud fresghta. THO Wcstorn ship
pesa found market in New England and tho
scahoard citscs. Tho superior qualify OF tho
crop Of timothy also made Il popt.lar, and oil
grades hayo been eaunlly aslable for shipment.

Tho market In this city WAS most decidedly
depressed by wines made in Cincinnati, tic price
there he!ng, singularly enough, below ours,
most Of tho time, though rorn costs mitch moro
in Cincinnati than IN Chicago. It Is mentioned,
Too, as another singular fact, that while The re-
turns made to the Government have indicated
much smaller production In Ohio than In ILL
nols, tho sales Of the former In tho East, and
elsewhere, appear To l'o much tho largest. This,
with some other features In tho trade, tends to
mike the whole thing what Stephen Blackpoo1
asserted to be true III the world OF met aud
wnrncn-"aw' nuld!e."
The volume Of salcs ts nleo reduced BY tho
fact that our tlisttlcss now largely use tho cor-
tinuous process, by which the finished gooda arc

SEEDS.

Tho spring trade in Timothy WAS only fair, but
tho old crop Of good eccd was nearly exhausted
when new seed began to arrive. Tho crop Of
1876 was probably tho largest ever raised In this
country, mud tho quality Of tho seed MAS fair,
though good deal Of It was dark; but tho pro-
portion OF foul seeds was unusually small.
The market opened III August ut sa,75
for primo seed, and, although tho
homo trndo was large, prices constantly de-
clIncl under the enormous receipts until they
reached St.6o: when NIL active export demand
sprang up, and tho market rallied to ft.05Gee. 90

RYE.

THE DEMAND FOR nfE NAs BEEN LIGHT
through the greater part of the year, while tho
volume offered for sale has been unusually
large, making tho market m unsatisfactory ono
to the trader. The volume OF receipt. is fully
doubtcd, being lao, ,l21 in 1876 against 600, ,bS3
hu In ISIS The volume OF shipments has In
creased even more, the ,4s0, 100 bu shipped last
year being above four times the 3l0, 500 bn ship
ped In 1875. Tho cause for this great dtspropor.
ton lies In tho fact that comparatively lttlo
rye was used In Chicago, nearly ali tho dsttltcr-
les being closed during the greater part OF tho
year.
For the samo reason tho market has dragged
badly. 1t was very dull during the frat three
or four months, rs tho dlstiflcrcs wcre inactive,
and the 1our men held of for lower prices; SO
that there was scarcely any demand, rs spccu-
lators could SEQ no induccment 10 handle IL,
md prices wcre lower In the spring than in tho
winter months for this reason. In June a fair
demand spraug up for
EXPORT TO EUROPE,
under which tho market for No. advanced to
axe. In tho middle Of that month the
trado commenced to buy for August
delivcry,-stasting In at 6oc,-and the purchases
probably exceeded 100000 bu. In July and
August the market rccesled to 5oe, owing TO the
depression IN WHCat, oHu tno lAct C1 Ia1Ec Fc'
ccipts Of tho new crop, which weighed down
tho market. 4 partial rally was effected, but
large receipts again broke Tho market to &c,
and It then ruled stcatlier TIL late III November.
AT that time the rye crop Of Germany was dis
covered to bc so short as TO- require largo sup
plies from other places, aud orders were sent
here Tor all that could be obtained. The
result was that our bins were nearly
cleared out Of new and old rvc BY
direct shipments to tho Continent OF Europe,
and the market strengthened under that de-
mand to tho highest point OF tho year. Il WIS
believed In December that most ct tho visible
supply " Of Eyc In this country was controlled
by 0ne 1rm-uo!ng business In Chicago.
