GAZETTE OFFICE, January 10, 'S3.
The Cincinnati Price Current says
the past week shows marked reduc-
ton ia the number of hogs marketed
as compared with the preceding
week, but material increase over cor
responding time last year; in other
words the aggregate packing in the
west for the week has been $4,000
hogs against 900 the preceding
week. and 100000 same time last year.
The total since November ] reaches
3 ,335, zoo, against 100000 n year ago,
falling Off of 275 900, or about per
cent. The packing at Chicago now
about balances same time last year,
Cincinnati is but little behind, Kansas
City 1000 ahead, while most of other
places of importance are more or less
behind. 1t is now evident that the
first of January will show
an unimportant shortage as
compared with last year, and the
possibility of reaching as large num-
Der by the first of March as last year il
assuming more color. If this should
be the result, and next summer should
develop the gain in supply which is
generally looked for the present basis
of values is not to be regarded as SO
low as to promise big thing for those
to hold property on it for an advance.
Exports of product now reach 1884,
100000 pounds against 1873 900, 600 year
ago. Values now for March pork in
Chicago are % cents per barrel higher
than q year ago, sides the same rs
then, and lard 72@ cents per 100 pounds
lower; live hogs now selling at about
the same as year ago, excepting for
few of extra heavy lots, ranging
little higher than then. While pro-
visions are thus shown to be relatively
about the same in prices as year ago,
flour is 81 per barrel cheaper, or over
30 per cent. reduction. The general
financial situation and outlook is less
encouraging than year ago.
The production has been very heavy
for the last four years, and especially
| the past two years. The average
monthly deliveries at the different
ports in the United States for consump-
ton show an increase from ISL ,Ss7 bags
in 1880 to 201 $40 bags in 1881, and to
224 $50 bags in 1882. These figures in
dictate the steadily-growing wants for
consumption in our country. Prices
| during the past two years, owing to
! large crops, have fallen five and half
| to six cents per pound, and the range
of quotations at this time is lower than
any at present engaged in the trade
ever experienced. 1t is rather remark
able that whilst these extremely low
figures have been accepted by the inn
porters and jobbers, the consumers
have'not yet had any advantage of
them. The retailers and roasters must
have reaped good harvest, and are
still making large profits on the figures
obtained from consumers. baltimore

According to Les Complies Rendus, NJ.
Oh. Montigny, observing for many years
at Brussels, has noticed, as previous OBJ
servers have done, that the scintillation
Of stars is much increased during the oc-
currence OF an aurora. He has noticed.
further, that every aurora "produces i'm
mediately its effect upon the scintilla-
tom" that stars in the north are most
affected, and that the influence OF the
phenomenon is most marked for the stars
which are observed across the upper
regions OF air. Magnetic disturbances
also. even when accompanied by no au-
rora visible at Brussels, increase the
scintillation to marked extent. On
two occasions during July, 1881, the
effect OF magnetic disturbances was OBJ
served with no aurora visible III Brussels,
or even, so far as can be learned, in any
part of Denmark.

judging by the way the campaign
opens in Ohio, new and welcome era is
dawning in American politics. The old.
time bitterness OF partisanship seems to
be greatly ameliorated, if not entirely
abandoned. The kindly way in which
Judge Foraker speaks of his opponent is
only equalled by the consideration man
ifested by Judge Hoadly. There seems
to be spontaneous agreement to dis
cuss the canvass upon the merits of the
issues at stake without excited appeals
to the prejudicss and passions of the
people.

In order to check the spread of the dis.

city, with orders to arrest such of the
population as might seek safety in fight.
This order may have been necessary to
prevent the spread Of the cholera, but

The Olympia, w. T., Courier says:
There are now not less than 1900 Chi
namen in British Columbia, and the num-
her is increasing fully 100 per month by
the arrival OF -shiploads in Victoria.
These are scattered out along the Canad-
ian railroad, among the fl heries and in
the numerous smaller places in British
Columbia. Hundreds OF these are all
the time watching for chances to get into
this country. They come across the
straits in small boats and canoes and
land in Clallan and Jefferson counties,
and also come by the same means to the
San Juan Islands and into Whatcom
county. There are nine different routes
across the border by which they are all
the time coming in or attempting to do
so. They 90 inland to the Columbia
river and come in down that river by
scores, and rs the Canadian Pacific works
eastward other avenues OF ingress to a
forbidden territory #i:ll be opened. The
Courier calls for the appointment of ad.
ditional inspectors to guard the gulf
islands and the boundary line.
