Washington, Jan. 1.-The course of during November and for the eleven months ending with November is gen orally satisfactory. The treasury bu- reau of statistics, reporting on internal trade at interior centers, shows that Minneapolis. Duluth. Milwaukee and Chicago received 101 IS bushels from quarter of the current crop year, being gain of 39 per cent over the first quar- tel of 1900. At the winter wheat markets of Toledo. Detroit, St. Louis and Kan sas City the first five months of this crop year, on the contrary. show d de- crease in receipts from 46, 44l,i i1S bush els to 35,79s, 72s bushels.
 Arrivals of live stock at five western markets for the first eleven months of 1901 were as follows. including only cattle, hogs and sheep: Chicago, 13,- So1, ,O67 head; Kansas City. 6,139, ,52O head: Omaha, 4,155, 432 head: St Lonis. 3,f44.762 head; St. Joseph, 2.779, ,777 head, making total of 30, O,32c.55S head. compared with 27.977.165 head in the same months of 1900. The only evil dcnce of decline in the live stock move ment at Chicago appeared in the de- crease in the receipts and shipments of hogs. At Kansas City the receipts have been larger and the shipments smaller than for the similar period of 1900. Local consumption at these five markets has generally exceeded that of the preceding year. and the shipping movement, both for stocking and feed ing purposes, exhibits a more empha tic decrease as the end of the calendar year approached.
 This seasons traffic on the great lob I,ys rations of any preceding season. By way of the St. Mary's canals 27SI7, 7,s1I tons of freight were carried to Novem- Der S0th, of which 22.61s. .9o9 tons were east-bound from Lake Superior, and 5.191.So2 tons were west-bound. Last seasons figures were 20.231. .SS2 tons east-bound and 5,03S 656 west bound -making d total of 25.27O,53S tons. The freight passing through the American canal amounted to 25O63 .522 tons. and through the Canadian cAnal 2.791. .2S9 tons. Four times as many vessels passed through the American as through the Canadian canal. and nearly nine times as large a tonnage. Lake traffic for November represents 121 ports of receipt and 1S7 ports of ship ment. The seasons receipts increased over last years receipts in flour. coal. ore and minerals, logs and unclassified freight. Grain alone has fallen off from 1GO. 71S,31O bushels last season to 131. .S45, 40S bushels this season.
 At the North Atlantic ports Novem- hers receipts of flour and grain at New York were 9,327,S17 bushels. in cluding flour reduced to bushels, of which 7.22S.7I1 bushels came by rail and 2,009.046 bushels came by water. The receipts at Boston for eleven months were As. 1923 632 bushels. against 4S,5i9,926 bushels in eleven months of 1soc. Wheat receipts at Philadelphia during eleven months have doubled compared with those of the preceding year, but this port has lost most in grain receipts, owing to the failure of the corn crop. At Baltimore the re- Ceipts of both flour and grain have made advances over the first eleven months of 1900. Coastwise receipts of lumber at New York from southern and eastern sources amounted to 165 cargoes in November. The receipts of domestic wool at Boston during five weeks following October 26, 1901, were 10,S21 bales, compared with 3,152 bales in 1900. The coastHise trade at Balti- more reports 199 vessels for the month of October
 In southern territory the arrival of cotton at ports for the first three months of the commercial year was 3.455.5S5 bales. thus exceeding the re- ceipts of the two preceding years. over land shipments were the lowest in four years, and southern mill takings were larger than for any of the three pre- ceding years. The receipts of leaf to- bacco at Louisville, Cincinnati. Clarks- vile, Hopkinsville. Paducah, Nashville and Mayfield for the first eleven months of 1901 were 224, ,939 hogsheads, compared with 199. .6SS hogsheads in 1900. The six iron-producing districts of Anniston, Birmingham. Nashville, Sheffield Middleboro and Chattanooga furnished freight tonnage of 1855. .075 tons of pig iron, cast iron pipe and small quantities of steel for the first eleven months of 1901.
