fjr the lumber trade in 1159. The stock of
lumber ia the St. Lonis market Isnoasoally
light, and ae sooo as th» Illinois aod Michigan
Oanal opens, a good demand may be expected
from that quarter, ni well as from the towr.s
along tbe Illinois River.
During the year übipments of Lumber bare
b -rD made from ttis port to Albany, N. V., via
OdW<?go. In June and July two or three car
got-.; of clear lumber were purchased here at
$23 | c: thousand fict and taken to Oswego, at
.f«u l■ f li'. We uino h'uipued several cargoes
of cle-r lumber to Milwaukee und other lake
pone, where they bad an excess of common, i
with but little upper qualities. At tbe lumber
points along Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, as
well us on St. Clair River, there was a scarcity
of upper qualities, and this caused tbe Albany
and other merchants to buy in Chicago.
Tbe following table shows tbe monthly re*
ceipts of lumber, lath and shingles during tbe

3f HIGHWINES.
! T During the past year we have bad on addi
u tlocbl distillery started, and the manufacturer
d J ol Highwines has increased in coneequence to
.s j about €O,OOO barrels. Tfie three distillers
Cnrtis, Crosby and Rawßon—consumed about
e 2,000 bushels grain daily, three tourths of which
a is corn. Towards the close of the year, some of
them have been manufacturing Uigbwines from
•t rejected and musty wheat, which accounts for
•t the large amount of wheat that appears in our
s j wheat tables as having been consumed or on
e hand.
i It ia proper to state that a very largd quanti
r ty of the highwines used in the city is for the
8 manufacture of burning fluid, alcohol, and oih
t e r useful and necessary fluids.
* Tbe following table shows the receipts and
shipments during tbe past two years, with tbe
sources of supply, end the route by which it was
i exported. The receipts show an increase of
over 6,000 barrels, and tbe exports 14,000 bar
rel?. It is proper to state, however, that the
i large increase of shipments by Itke is not due
entirely to an increase in our trade; as in 1557,
J the article of highwines was rarely reported by
i transportation companies to tbe Custom House
( under that head. In ISSS, the cuatom-house of
[ ficere paid particular attention to the classifica
i tion of this manufacture:

COAL. 1
January 18SS opened with an unusually large
supply of coal on hand for that tcat-on of tbe J
year, and when navigation opened, and through
out the season dealers exercised great cautiob
in importing. There has therefore been a fall
ing oil'ia the receipts by lake of about CS,OOO
tons, and a corresponding falling oil" in the ie
ceipts by railways from tbe interior of the Stale. >
The shipment of coal have, however, greatly j
increased during the past tear—the Chicago end *
Galena Union lUilwuy having exported 75.151 (
tons agaiur.t 19,41>3 in 1357. J
The following table shows the receipts and

235 acres ol the finest building stones in tbe

CHICAGO ANI3 CANADIAN TRADE-
During 'he past year a variety of questions
bare sprung up in connection with the trade oi
the Northwest with Canada, which it devolves
on us to record. From time to time we have
had occasion to publish communications from
the Uoardß of Trade and mercantile interests
from other quarters, asking for an expression of
Western views on various international and
federol questions, in which the grain producing i
regions aro rightly assumed to have a paramount '
interest. These communications have chiefly
had reference to tbe workings and construction '
of the Reciprocity Treaty between our Govern
ment and Great Britain, of June, 1854, under
which an export demand of no small value with
the British Xorth American provinces were
opened for the products ol the Western States.
To ue, whose da.lv duties have necessarily made
os conversant with thess matters, and have
impressed us with their value, it seems strange
that more earnest attention has not been given
to eo important a subject by the community at
Iwße. Asour Annual Reviewis very extensive
ly circulated, a abort space will not be illy
employed in making a few suggestions for the
retlection daring the coming year of every one
inteiested in the welfare of the Western States.
We hold the following to be true: that ills the
interest of the West to open op as many markets
as poasible to receive the product of her prai
ries;—to have as many markets as possible in
which to purchase those articles for use aad
consumption necessary to tbe tiller of the soil
to rednce the ratea of tro - : "
di« of consamption and production;
rer these principles do not interfere -- r -._uue
,to extent with tbe Interests of sister States, tbe
1— great agricultural West has a right to demand
jut their recognition at the hands of the federal
icb government.
iof We call the attention of our readers to tbe
3m various tables given below of tbe trade which
C or bae sprung up with tbe British Provinces nn
,nr der the free trade policy inaugurated by tbe Re
on ciprocity Treaty of 1651. We leave these tables
to speak for themselves, with the remark that
ti. the results of 1853, are those of a year of pros
be tration of trade, and that we have no means of
h. showing tbe quantity of floor and provisions
which find their way to Canada by means of tbe
ad railways during the winter month®. Gratifying
h e as these results are, we regret to say that these
aa markets are not as open for as as we believe It
of was intended and they desire. Just previous
x. to tbe opening of navigation a circular was is
-3e sued by tbe Treasury Department at Washing
ie ton requiring that each shipment from panada to
1 t tbe States under the Reciprocity Treaty should
,j be accompanied by a consular certificate that tbe
;e contents of tbe invoice were tbe growth or
,f. produce of Canada, tbe practical interpretation
a- of ff hich is, that not a single grain of wheat or
barrel o f flour or pork, the produce of Ohio, In
t. Diana, Michigan, Wisconsin, lowa or Illinois,
which once enters Canada, can re-enter the
jd United States, except when in transit by partic
•/j lular channels and under special regulations.
'A must bs carried to, warehoused, and ground in
.. and sold at some port in tbe one State of New
\orkto tbe consumers of Maine, Jfew Hamp
abire and Vermont, who from nature, usage,
~ convenience and economy have dealt mbch with
their Lower Canadian neighbors. To the farm
ers of tbe West, and the lumbermen of the East,
u what is tbe natural eflect of all this ? Simply
8 that, competition beiog restricted New York
Q speculators can buy cheaper of Illinois and sell
dearer to Xew Eoglacd. We hold that only to
" be the true philosophy which teaches *• the
r. greatest happiness to the greatest number."
j Iu Canada a different view has been taken of
• the construction and spirit of the Treaty. On
>j this and o:ii2r questions we miy be called to
• give our co-operation in further negotiations. We
t canuot disguiie the fact that the grain of thL? re"
3 gion at present eujojti bat a doubtful reputation—
can on y be shipped to Northern portd, iind has to
i bL-arthe cspen.-e of a double shipment before
, reaching European markets: hence that policy ; s
i the true one which creates markets nearest hnim*
l The subject ol free iiavipatiou for Cauauiuu ve i
sels in Americau wa'ers is one which ha 4 had
i mo,e or less throughout the past year, occupied the
attention of th.se iuteiesied iu ihe extension of
our commerce. At pre>ent, a* most of our readers
are aware, American vessels have perfect liberty,
as our tables below sh jvv, to carry produce from
1 this to Canadian p"ii-, while Canadian vcskclj are
i forbid Je'i io take cargoes to American
ports. The vessel interest of LTuited States
j ports, as is to be expected, are unwilling to
allow Canadian bottoms tbe pnvilcge to con.*
pete with them in Auiericau portp, and as this
interest is large and has been very much de
pressed during tbe past two years.tbeir views are
entitled to much respect and sympathy. Never
theless, it is a question worthy of discussion,
whether or not the restriction which is laid on
' Canadian vessels does not drive away a Urge
amount of capital which might be invented in
grain and other produce, by this same Canadian
interest, and thus secure to American vessels
more than they would lose by the passage of
a law permitting free navigation. So far as the
Northwestern Stales are concerned, it is cer
tainly for their interest to have the carrying of
produce from their porta free and untrammeled;
and as public journalise, we feel bouud to ad
vocate tbete principles of commercial jurispru
dence which lead to elevate the character ol
Western husbandry, and protect its righte.
The following table shows the value ol free j
goods imported from Cauadiau ports in Atneri- <
can and Canadian vesaels durirg the past two i
years. As will be seen there is a lalliog off ol J
more than one half during the past year. This '
has been caused mainly by the depressed state '
of the lumber trade during tho pa3t year—our »
imports of lumber from Canada being very )
trifling: f

LAKE COMMERCE.
Notwithstanding the depression ol bnsinecs
during the past year, our Lake tonnage shows
bnt a slight decrease on that of 1557. Oar ex*
ports during the year were heavy, and had there
been a corresponding proportion of imports, the
Lake tonoage would have exceeded that of 1557.
Tbe total tonnage of 165S amounts to 1,G21,9G0,
against 1,753,413 in 1557. There is an increase
ol 29 steamers, and a decrease of 153 propellers
and of 1,605 sail vessels daring tbe season.
Daring the put year a new line of propellers
have btfiit &laced on the Collingwood route,
which hasbeeri.qnite a success. Produce, &e.,
is shipped to Canada and tbe United States by
this route. The following are a few of the lead

tg IiATTR FREIGHTS.
56 The past seasou has been rather an unprofita
it ble one for tbe vessel interest. At the opening
18 of navigation, vessel owners and agents, judg
ing from tbe large amonnt of grain in store,
I- held out for high freights. Before the opening
0 several vessels had made engagements at 12>£c;
d but this was considered too low for the first trip,
6 and agents generallf held back,' declining any
>r oilers of the kind. When navigation opened,
n however, gram holders rather held off, and the
r vessel interest gave wjj. An attempt was
made shortly after the opening to form a combi
'» nation, fixing freights to Buffdlo at Sc for wheat
e and to Oswego, Like most other efforts
> of this nature, however. It fell through, and
vessels took freights at their market value, reg.
s ulated by the great law of supply and demand,
a What rendered the season particularly un
r profitable, besides the low rates of down freights,
was & general scarcity of up freights. There
, was less merchandise coming up the lakes, less
1 lumbar, less coal, less railroad iron, and many
of them brought op salt as ballast.
» Tbe following table shows the weekly rates of
7 freight for wheat to Buffalo and Oswego during
c the past five years:

* the price of exchange for Illinois, Wiscouin
and other ordinary currency-curre-cy, and not
i specie, being the standard in this city. Practi
cally we have no banks of circulation; the
I amount the Marine Bank had out at its last
quarterly report being but the nominal sum ot
thirty-nine thousand dollars. Hence exchange
is always quoted at the currency atandard. For
gold, bankers draw at a quarter to a half pre
mium, depending upon its scarcity or abundance
in the market. It will be perceived Irom these
facts that exchange rules here at about the quo.
tations of St. Louis, where the discount on cur
rency and the premium on exchange together
about equal its price ia this market.
Strangers must not infer, however, that bs
cause our monied institutions do not have a cir*
culatioo, they have not a sufficient amount of
business to deserve the name of banks. From
them we can scarcely ever obtain any figures to
show the amount of business done; but the fa*ts
, in this review show that it must be immense, lie
, moner to pay for the hundreds of millions ot
| feet of lumber annually bought and sold in this
. market-the millions of bushels of grain the
, hundreds of thousands of barrels of beef and
| pork packed—the eighteen millions of dollars
i ofrailway receipts—the money that sustains tho
, mercsntile and manufacturing interests of the
city, is mainly handled, and much of it fur
| niahed, by some half-dozen leading institutions
» —houses that will compare, both in the extent
; of their business and the amount of their capi
| tal, with the banks in any city west of Xew
York. The Marine Bank, in a single month
, during the past year, hard as the times have
been, has drawn sight exchange on New York
for more than a million and a quarter of dollars.
During the six months just closed, the total
amount of sight exchange drawn on New York
bv this institution alone, has averaged more
than sS7,oooperday—or, to be exact, $6,742,000
during the six months.
The figures in the table show that the year com
menced in commercial disaster, and that we
hare had a sure but a gradual return to a financial
condition more hopeful and encouraging. There
appears to be a well grounded conviction in the
minds of all men that the worst is over, and that
we have now a safe basis for peimanant future
progress. The revulsion so disastrous in its
effects commenced with the failure of the Ohio
Life and Trust Company, in August, 1557. CJni
versal distrust seemed to take possession of all
men. The issues of the banks of Illinois and
Wisconsin are secured by State stocks, but they
were unable to redeem their bills in
coin. At this fearful juncture, with a degree of
wisdom and courage seldom seen at such times,
our city bankers dotermined to take and pay out
the bills ot these banks as currency. Both the
people and the city banks, by common consent,
voted it infamous "to ruin" them for coin, and
their bills passed from hand to hand in the pay
ment of debts. But as the banks could neither
furnish exchange nor coin for their bills, ex
change rose to almost fabulous figures, and
our merchants, who were determined to
save their credit by paying their notes at
maturity, made fearful sacrifices to do it. In
September ISST, exchange rose to s@« per 1
cent, premium, and through most of October
itrulod at 10 per cent. Tnis was the rate at
bank to best customers, but outsiders were
forced to pay twelve and even fifteen per cent
on the street was reached in some instances.
Through November and December it varied
from 7(£5 and had touched 4>£on the first of
January of the present year. Jaouary 10th it
sunk to S per cent, and March 2i touched 2,
gradually falling, till on the 16th of May i; went
down to Between this figure and 1% it ranged
till about 25th of Sot., when all the banks so Id
at premium, the lowest rates it has touched so
far as we remember, for the last ten years. In
the street it was sold freely at par. The great
activity in the pork trade and the relative scar
city of currency was the cause of these low rates
of exchange. When the balance ot trade is
once turned steadily iu favor of Chicago, as it
surely will be ere many years, New York ex
change will rule as steadily below par as it does
now above.
Our leading citr banks are in a sound, healthy
condition; our currency, composed mainly of
Illinois and Wisconsin bank bills, is well se
cured bjr State stocks; lowa is just inaugurat
ing a safe system of banking, based principally
on that of Ohio; business of all kinds is
reviriog, and everything seems to promise a
return of reasonable prosperity. It is not to be
denied, however, that Chicago stands in great
need of more banking capital. With the open
ing of our immonu railway system, the busi
ness of the city has increased muuh than
the capital necessary to do it; but the profits of
a few rears of prosperity will supply every de
ficiency. The high rats of our legal interest—
ten per cent—must, ere long, attract a large
amount of capital from the over-burthened
Eastern cities, and furnish a healthy stimulus,
and greatly-increased facilities to our immenss
and rapidly expanding commerce.
REAL ESTATE.
The appreciation in Chicago real estate for
the last five yeara has bees enormous. Holders
of any considerable parcels of property have in
a comparatively short period found themselves
rich. This among other things has formed a
fruitful theme of alarm and ridicule to scribblers •
for Eastern papers, and all the tribe of small-fry
tourists; and now that that the whole country
hu been involved in commercial disaster, it is
worth while to inquire how far the predictions
of constitutional or interested croakers have
been realized. After taking considerable p»iM
to collect accurate information in regard to this
subject we believe the condition of Chicago raai
estate to be as follows: (
As a body, holders oi real estate in this city ]
have now, as ever, entire confidence ia the sub- ]
stantial character of their investments. Those
who are able to hold them will aot sell below
the figures ruling two years ago. Indeed ifi
some parts of the city real estate is held at from
ten to twenty per cent advance upon those fig.
urcs. Opportnaiti-s sometime oocur, when par
ties are forced to sell, to make capital invest
ments ; but these instances are much mors rare 1
than might be expected. Strangers who expect 1
to profit by such opportuaities will find it asees
sary to put their funds in the hands of some 1
friend for investment, or to wait patiently for
days or weeks, till soma " lane duck " U obliged
to come down. After passing throngh so fear- 1
ful an ordeal, the ahrewdest and most &r-seeing 1
capitalists, have not lost a particle of confidence 1
in Chicago real property. There is not much 1
selling it is true; but opportunities ar» now
afforded to invest more favorably than will ever '
occur again in the lifetime of the present geaer- j
tion. Prices in our judgment bar* reached the
loweatpoint, and herwAsrtbsy. will be "oa- 1
ward and upward."
CITY IMPROVEMENTS IN 1858.

■M7S by a depression la business, and this has op«-
l aij rated to rsstrlot enterprises, particularly thoss of
gi Js * P riYata Character. Ths same causa, however,
s g7 from the cheaper rate of labor and material,
resulting therefrom, has reacted to the effect of
si stimulating numerous undertakings, and ia this
04a§ respeet those of our citizens who have had the
g means to invest in buildings have the past year
?ew reaped a large advantage. Especially have th«
numerous extensive city imnrovements been
carried on most advantageously. The figures
L 0« of * x P« n< tttures gi*en below, represent much
.13 larger results accomplished than the like sums
) tso would have secured iu any previous year.
*"100 BUILD ISO.
>.771 re B arda building, contracts have been
517 made fully S3 per cent cbeapar than in 1857.
jb. Comparing the results of the two years, we have
a falling off in the list of fir«t-claaa stores and
IJ2I business blocks, whieh, to a marked extent in
434 number and costliness, characterized the im
us provements of 1857. Of private residences of
the first clsssthere have also been fewer erected,
lira * large addition has been made to the
* 412 dwellings of a less pretentious character, and to
an extent which will tell favorably upon the
question of rents, giving us a needed increase
I*o of the facilities for homes for our teeming popu
-221 lation.
Without attempting an extended list the fig.
ures we give are the result of a thorough can
;« 7 vass of the city, the actual count of which gives
1.650 buildings in number as follows:

jj oua public works, Tbe list of improvements
jj e carried through during the year under the direc-
D( j tion ot City Superintendent, X. S. Bouton, we

30 GENEKAL IMPROVEMENTS.
[j e The footing up ol the details of street improve
,p. menta- alone reaches $303,000—a large figure,
M which may frighten our irieuds abroad, who will
nt need to be informed that not one dollar of this
sum is paid by the ci'y, but collected by Special
tW Assessments upon the '• property-holders deemed
benefitted/' The change of grade requires in
re some places, as on East street for in
stance, a filling of from six to seven feet—an
undertaking tbe extent of which is shadowed
j forth in the expense of that particular improve-
ment, as given in the table.
The expenditures for Hidnealk Improvements
for the past year have been heavy, but as they
have been almost entirely made by individuals, n«
figures can be given. Our citizens will readily
n * believe they would swell not inconsiderably tbe
aggregate. With this preface, we call attention
to the list furnished us by tbe City Superintendent
New Bridges.

IQ * any interest in the prosperity and gocd name
of our city, caa make no better investment
a. of a small sum than in sending to each of his

2 OURSELFES.
Moat of oar readers are aware that the pro
' • prietors of this journal were recently obliged to
their creditors for an extension of time to
n . their mataricg liabilities, which, we are
H t ha PPT IO saaoance, was granted without hesita
! tion. Oar financiol matters hare been adjusted
in the most liberal spirit by the parties immedi-
ately interested, and the Paass axd Taiscvt ia
n . now upon a substantial, paying basis, and cer-
tainly was never before In a more prosperous
a . condition. We are free to confess that it was a
re moat mortifying step to be obliged to take, but
dr prudent and honorable dealing left no other
is open. The financial crash of 1357 compelled
t y thousands of individuals and firms, in easy cir
la cams lances in prosperous times, to pursue the
0 f same course.
;. The liabilities of the Pass* ax» Tribcxi were
iL contracted chieflf in the purchase and improve*
Jjj ment of real estate prior to the " hard times,"
and it was found impossible to convert it into
• a cash, except at a ruinous sacrifice. The prop
-2*5 erty belonging to the establishment and to the
members of the firm individually, is worth many
M times the amount of their liabilities—which, by
?o the way, have been moat ridiculously magnified
;i* in the papers.
id The story that has gone the rounds that the
rt Pbi43 axd Taisnxi was to be '• stopped "is ab
w surd. Such a thing was never dreamed of. The
1. Patss and Tazic»i has become a permanent in
n stitution in the Northwest. The present proprie
-5* tors might happen to die, or take a notion to
le sell out, but neither occurrence would stop the
a. issue of the paper, and simply because it has
become a profitable concern, as well as.a'public
,g necessity.
jf property noto belonging to the I'asss axd
j. Tribcxi cffice, eonsisting of power presses,
ta l Jpes, eogines, machinery, stationery, and other
.. printing material, inventoried at txso third* ot
• e its original cost, amounts to $70,000. This is
exclusive of the good will, accounts and patron
sge of the concern, which are valued at a larger
e . sum. The Paus axd Trzbcxi eaiabliahmeu
cannot be bought for $150,000.
11 We have been thus explicit in regard to our
is private affairs, in order to remove the false im
il preaaions that may have been created in the
j public mind by the rumors circulated by *ia
n licious tongues and unfriendly newspapers, for
the purpose of inflicting injury upon our buai
x ness. And in this connection we take pleasure
J in returning \hanks to our Chicago cotempora
ries for their private expressions of regret at
our embareasment, and the respectful silence
3 they preferred in regard to the matter under
the strong temptation to produce a "sensation"
• item. We pledge ourselves to reciprocate the
y favor, should an opportunity ever cffsr.

Address on their New Tear's visit. Do they
need from us a kindly word in their behalf, or
J do our readers need a hint from us, to whom
u they owe it that their paper, fresh and damp
jj from the press, is laid punctually upon their
jj breakfast tables ? Rsmember the Carrier to

2 Abbist roa Fraud and Falsi Pestixcu.—
o 08ea Strauaa was arrested yesterday and ex
amined before Justice Aikeo, on a charge o
fraud and false pretences, and held in the sum
0 of S3OO to answer betcre the Recorder's Court.
0 It appeared in evidence that Strauss obtained
a quantity of bogus gold msgic case watches,
one of which he pawned with James Launder, i
Q 170 Rindolph street; another with Jacob Frost)
191 Like street, and a third with W. T. S. La- 1
vinia, 126 South Clark street, on each of which *
0 be obtained S4O, he representing to the pawu
a broker that they were 13 carat fine gold cases,
and cost him $l5O apiece. Strauss has hereto^
fore not borne a very good reputation.

-0 fore Justice Stickney, who, with implacable 1
0 gravity, imposed a fine of $25, which Jenny '
promptly paid. Jenny made a very attractive '
a appearance In her, borrowed plumage, and

Charlies, who arrest the vagram of our peace

Because there was no reason why they shouldn't
