Bad Condition Of Trade.
have az general thing ruled quiet dur
plrinR calling for especial comment.
There have, however, been some fe~
noteworthy exceptions. and these have
been confined to those commodities
which form the basis for speculation.
The combination most noteworthy
among these Ii corn, which has been
successfully "cOrnered," aud cash and
November prices run t. enormously
high figures, No. 2 corn having changed
hands at higher prices than could be
obtained. For No. 2 red wheat an ad
vance of 70 cents Per bushel occurred.
The bulk of new corn arriving is damp
and will not grade No. 2, hence the No
vember corner, aud the anticipated cor
ner in "year corn" that is deliverable in
all this year. Tho market has been un-
settled. and unequally variable, prices
1uctuatinR to the extent of ten cents q
day on some occasions.

These Ships Again.
New YORK, Nov. 25.-There is a vis-
ible improvement in freights per clipper,
yet it cannot be said to be active. Still,
ships are doing much better than was
that by tho beginning of the new year
the market will be in better condition
than for q long time past. This is
based ON the fact that there has been
moro inquiry for freight from parties
who have been out of this market for
long period, and also the fact that the
shipments of certain articles have in
CREASED, whether as result OF dissatis-
| faction against railroads or not cannot
be stated with any accuracy; yet such is
| the suppoeiti0n. It ia anticipated that
the improvement will continue, and that
clippers will once more resume their
standing in the California trade. Tho
John Currier is the leading ship, and
she will finish by the close of the month.
The George Stetson is well advanced,
and will get away by the 10th prox.
Freiehts TO Portland are rather quiet.
Ships have to depend on general mer-
chandise for the time being. There is
no railroad iron, which is not plenty, a.
the season is we'll over. The Tilton is
the only chip on hand, but the steamer
George 8. Homer will be here by the lst

moderately active, but the Berlin does
not make much progress. At Boston
clipper freights are slow, and the SonO-
ma will be unable to get off this month.
Railroad frei0hts have been very active,
shipments including 40A bbls Oranber-
ries, 500 boxes candles, 135 packages to-
bacoo, 24l8 packages fish, lO62 cases
canned fish, go cases canned goods, 100
cases wine, 200 cases yeast powder, Is
barrels rosin and Is kegs nails.
