There Is decline in the aggregate amount

In the number OF bushels Producing flour to
wheat Is 3,128566 bushels, the receipts in 1877
amounting to .91e bushels. against 977s6.4s
bushels in 1875.
The decline in value of the receipts OF pro-

and, despite the mud and the warm weather Of
4,178.692 hogs, falling of. of only 141 4S7; but
the prices were so much lower than those of
1875 that the difference in the total va ue OF the
hogs and their manufactures is nearly s25 .000,-
600. A large falling off in aggregate values is to
be found in the iron trade. where the prices in
like manner have declined.
The tables Of statistics disclose that during
the year just closed Chicago has handled about
the same quantity OF produce as In 1876. sold
from to 10 per cent moro merchandise at
Wholesale, and manufactured at least per cent

the general depression which prevails. this

other district In the country.

Another important feature of the report is

average wages of full hands. men, in addition
