On the Ist of March the stock of Mess Pork • was reduced to 14,000 brls—most of which was held subject to Lou sville and eastern houses; hut owing to an easier feeling in the leading markets 'East and West, tae market was ■ Bcarcclv so linn, and sales in the early part of fe ‘Che mouth were made at 516 w ’4|e close of the month, however, the market * ‘fstjed again, and we had that on the 20lh, S(W i* hrlschau-cil hands a: §17.C0-for delivery on 1 the 15Ui of April. Thcmarkvt was very bare of Cnt Mean, during the entire munlh, and the | Bales were limited at ned for shoul der* and tiac-:, putted. ’ "Lard was also scarce and Arm, and the only worthy of note was made on the 20th. when 000 trie prime Leaf changed hands at 101 c, and 100 tes BtlOJaC—closing with sales of small lots on the Sis: at 10 : .kc—which was only i@Jc be low the quotations in New York. In the early part of April heavy shipments of Mess Pork look place, and on the 10th the stock was reduced to 7,000 brls. Under this light stock the market was lirra, and the de mand was confined almost entirely to the wants of lumbermen, who were supplied at 51G.50i317.00. On the 17th, however, an order for 500 brls was filled at £17.00, and the market closed firm at that figure. There were no Cut Meats offered in April, and the market was nominal. Smoked xiams were sold to the city trade tn a limited extent at O.U'c for plain and cured. Lard was scarce and firmly held at loFcf7.loic. In May mess pork advanced 00c—the busi ness being limited to the local trade at517,00(3 , 17.50. In June another advance of took place—opening at 517 00317.50 and clos ing at 5i5.003i0.0O —while the price in New York was only $16,033 IS. 13. lu the early part of Jnly the slock was only SOOO brls ; but the demand being trifiinc. holders were slight ly easier, and sales were” made at $18.50; out helorc the close of the mouth, it again ad vanced to SI9OO. In August the stock was augmented by receipts from the interior, and the market was again rather easier, and several lots were sold for shipment to St. Injuis and New. Orleans at $16.50: but at the close of the month the market advanced to $lO 00, and closed firm, with a stock of only 1500 brls. In September the tendency was still upward, owing to a good demand for the Lake Superi or and lumber trade, as well as some inquiry froor Detroit—prices ranging from $19.00.<1 19,50. During the summer months the stock of lard in the market was scarcely sufficient to eupply the local demaud and prices steadily advanced from 10,-gC in May to 12c in August . and September, At the close of the latter month, however, summer packers became tel lers, and several lots were purchased for Bos ton parties at ll : _.c. In cut meats there was nothing done during . May, June, July and August; but early luSep , lembe'r a lot of S,OOO summer cured hams wore 4 Bold ot 10a loose, and thouldtrs at BVc.

In October oi l mess pork wa? sold at $19.50, ' «Ut new and summer made mess wore sold be fore the close at $16,00.-.', 16.50. Abontlhe 15th of this month several packers commenced op erations, but owing to the high prices of hoge, • the cutting was light. In November hogs ruled high—varying from $1.9335.50 gross, and the packing was light— several prominent houses only running as their contract arrived. Mess pork was in good demand in tbo early part of the month for the Like’Superior and lumber regions at $18.00; but before the end of the month it de clined to §10.25. Lcrd opened with gale* at lie, but closed on the 50th of November at 10K,S10h'c. December opened with rather gloomy pros pects for pork-packers, and the market for all kinds of product was heavy, while ,ruled firm. As the month advanced, however, There was an improved demand for mens pork by grocery-men and others anxious to make Eastern exchange, and sales were freely made at 514.75315.00. About the end of the month, too, orders came from New Orleans and m*'*? pork closed Una. L>rd was dull in the early part of the month, and prime leaffell to U .c; bat during the last two weeks it has been in fair demand at 9A. 710 c*. The high rates of Eastern exchange during this moullidid mm-U towards strengthening the market for provis ions.

Total The shipments of Tallow daring the past year amount to 2,833,044 lbs, against 0,412.404 lbs iulSs9.' This falling off Is uue to the dim inution in the beef packing during the past season. The receipts Jrom the country amounted to 106,350 lbs, against 134,027 lbs in 1850. This market continues to be the most active for Tallow in the West; but during the past year prices ruled on on average 1c per Ih less than mISS 9, and the market was comparative ly quiet. In spring there was a fair supply ot packer's tallow, and prices ranged from l0;£ IQVc ; but during the summer there was none hi'the city, and the orders bad to be tilled with butchers 1 and country tallow at a range of o(«£9J£c. In September the beef packers commenced to operate, and prices opened at 9%0, advancing to 10c In November, and clos ing again at 9 e. with a small stock on hum). The demand for tallow in this market is principally to fill orders from Canada, ami it is onl3* on rare occasions that shipments can be made to New York without a loss to the shipper.

The speculative feeling which was infused into the trade iu 1850 almost entirely disappeared in 1860, and the market was consequently more steady. By referring to\hc table of weekly prices given below, il will be seen that ihc market reached its high est point in May, when Dry Flint was sold at 16c. In November the trade in New York be gan to feel the effects of £ho political panic and the market since then has kept declining —closing at s{irsWc for Green Salted, ana HK&ISc for Dry Flint, which lower than the extreme quotations of the year. It is a fact worthy, of notice in this connec tion, that the prices paid in Chicago during the year have ranged higher than those of any other market in the West. At many points from two to four hundred miles East of this city, there has bee a fair margin to induce shippers to buy and ship hither instead of to New York. This is due mainly to the impor tance which this market has attained, and the attractions it offers iu the quality and quantity of stock to buyers from all parts of the Uni ted States and even Canada, As will be seen from the tables given below, receipts during the year 1860 amount to 11,- 002,700 lbs., against 12,740,422 lbs., received Iff ISSO. ’ The following tabic shows theprico of Hides on the first of each month for $r series of years: ■Price* of Dry Flint aide* for Four Tear?. 1637.

Few branches of commerce felt the effects ; of the panic of 1857 more severely than the 1 Lumber trade. During the years ISSB and , 1850, both manufacturers end dealers had struggle against low prices and extreme dull* ; upon light and inferior crops j —and those lirms only who operated from 1 •* hand to mouth” were enabled to live through J the “hard times.” During the year ISSO, the \ manufacturers, with a view to better their lm- : mediate Interests, formed themselves into an ; association outside of the trade, and for a I while the market seemed to improve; hut be- ; fore the close of the year they found that the : laws of trade wore not to be over-ruled by any ; m t of resolutions which could be passed upon 1 —that the lumber trade depended solely for i its prosperity on good crops and fair prices. : True the crops of 1859 were i:ood; but agricul- : turists were so deeply sunk in debt that they 1 could spare but little of theft means to invest ! in improvements of any Iffnd, and hentte the j extreme low prices which prevailed in the t lumber market. i During the pa*t year, it has been our pleas- 1 ure to bear witness to returned prosperity, which, though moderate, bears all the eviden ces of bcmg~healthy; but even this is partly | to he attributed to iho wisdom, learned by cx- j pcricncc, of those engaged in the business, j , The year has been one of great cauliou on the | part both of dealers and manufacturers. There ■ has been no sudden speculative movement— no attempt to force prices up or down—and there have consequently bceu no severe losses, oven should the prolix in tome instances turn out to be Muall.. In January, the amount of lumber on hand in this city, was 118,157,000 feel, against 128. -158,000 feet at the corresponding period in 1839 This was a larger stock than was expected, and 1 as logging during the winter of 1859-00 was reported good, and the number of logs cut larger than ever before, the prospects lor the coming season, did not appear liattcring. The early disappearance of the snow, however, in some important districts, and the want of rains in others, tended to limit the supply, and we Hud thfl the rcceips for the year foot up | only 285,000,000 against 305,000,000 in 1859. But th:s falling off of «»7,000,000 feet has been but a small item in bettering the lumber trade, compared with the great fact that never before were our granaries beUeriilled,aiid the farmers I better able to pay fair prices for the lumber \ they purchased. ‘ * During the months of January, February and | the greater part of March, the market was dull | andlieavy—common boards selling at a range ) of $7.0008.00. About tbe close of March the j &U Louis dealers came into the market and | about eight millions feet were sold to them at i 821.00(32400 for first clear; $17.00019 00 for } t-ccond clear; for third clear; ! 81800019.00 for clear flooring, and SII,OOO ; 13.00 lor common flooring. This earned more j activity and greater firmness in prices, hut no material advance. During ail this period there ! were but few contracts made by city dealers— the only one reported being made early in February, for 590,000 feet, to'bo delivered at the mouth of Grand Kiver at SO.OO. The llrst cargo reported was from White Lake, twelve feel boards, at $7.00. In the early part of April there was lair de mand for cargoes afloat by country dealers, mid ih>* sales ranging from $007.50 for fair to good drips and boards.; but must of the east .-bore lumber was bought by inspection at 83.50 fi>r culls, and SO.OO for merchantable stuff. lu'Viu yards the stock of fencing was low, and there was an active inquiry for it at aa advance of 25l —$7.7508.09 being the range of prices LtMBEB. lu May the rceeipu word heavier and the market for cargoes declined 50c((/.?1.0U—the he*l cargoes in the rlv» r l»eii»ir freely oll'ercd at 87.00, and inferior at sj.2-v.5.50. There was a good inquiry, however, for dry lumber in the yard*, ami the market r maiued firm, especial ly for tcncintr * la June the market was dull and without any material change in quotations. Good car goes of strips and hoards did not generally bring over $7.00, and some very f;iir were sol’d at $0.7/0. Very few upper qualities were re ceived, and we have only one sale recorded at $5.50, $0.50, $15.00 and $2-1 The market in the yards was also Tory dull, anil common stuff *«vus trccly sold at The low water iu the Illinois Hirer tended very much to di minish the trade of city dealers. , lu the cariy part of July a contract forthrcc million feet JSagSuaw lumber was made at §3.00, §O,OO, §12,00 ami §lB 00—delivered at the Bay ; but cargoes were miller dull till about the mid dle of the month, when a good demand look place by country dealer*, and the instruct ad vanced oOe —good cargoes telling as high as 57.50ui8.U0. The probabilities of large crops and a sure harvest gave country dealers increased conli d«-ucc, nud in August the market steadily ad vanced from §5 (Xh-Y.'J.iO for the best cargoes. About the dote of this month, also city dealers advanced the yard prices §l.oo—Common boards selling at §0.50*0 iO.OO. lu September, and during the early part of October, the market was buoyant, ami prices advanced over thus*} of August about §2.Sopvr thousand, or §4oo^;s.tX) per thousand over the prices it\ spring. Continued heavy receipts in the latter part of October —when a decrease was looked for, caused a slight reaction, and a decline of §I.OOy£LSO per thousand was sutler cd—-prime cargoes selling at §10.50. Common east shore cargoes were "dull and heavy; but good Green Hay, Muskegon and Saginaw lum ber was in lair demand at tho decline. In ihc early j :irt of September tile dealers advanced - } ai - d prices to *ll, and shortly after* wards to §Ui 00, for common boards—at which tlgnro the market remained steady during the balance of the year. . lu November the receipts began to fall olf very materially, and the market was quiet at SS.Tj&I3.OO, according to quality. Yard prices were steady. Owing to the high rates of down freights the receipts of lumber from Canadian, St. Ciairand Labe Huron ports during the months of Sep tember and October were'’heavier than wa.- ex pected— several million feet intended for east ern markets having been turned this way. One of the most remarkable features of the trade of the past year, was the shipment of clear lumber Irom this port to the markets of Albany :iud several }»oims in New England. This occurred however early in the year, when the market here was depressed. During the past \ car, too, quite a large trade has sprung up between this city and Cincin nati, Indianapolis and other places in that di rection. The trade with the lower Mh-feissippi and with the Missouri river haa also been ex tended. The market for shingles during the early part of the season was dull and heavy; but ns the year advanced, a short supply began to £c realised ond prices advanced 8i.350j1.f)0 per thousand. In March,' April and May. the sales of shingles were at .a range of $1.50@f123 afloat; but before the close of the season prime Kogno River Shingles were sold at ?d.Us(23.tii afloat, and several round lots oti the dock were sold as high os $3.50. The prejudice which existed In regard to sawed shingles Is fast disappearing, and the demand lor them at the close of the season was very urgent at about the same prices as shared. Sojne parties even prefer them to shaved. Laths, during the months of-March, April, May and Jane were quiet, and sold Ireclynt 31,00(i1.12>C afloat; but owing to a light stock anda thort Supply, the market during the last three months of the season became bnoyant and advanced $1.00(«?l.lflt£ per thousand— sale* at tho close ranging from $2.00(§2.20 afloat.

SEEDS. i The seed market of Chicago baa,attained a romlnencc which fowif any dared hope for. n I.O'J the entire receipt* were leas than I.OOO.tXX) lbs; while during the year 1800 they %mou:tt io7,SU.CS3 lbs. In 1850 the receipts amounted 10 r-,417,01'0 lbs— eo that there la an Cfircasc during the past vear of nearly 2,010,- fjtflbi*. The great hulk of the receipts at this point consist of timothy ; but there is also a largo amount of clover seed received ami marketed. Flux seed, which was but seldom seen here in I&*>S and 18.79, lias been received'hero to quite a large extent during the past year. This la due mainly to the establishment here and at other points adjacent to our lines of railroad of linseed oil factories, and much of the flax seed which hitherto went to St. Louis and other points Is marketed here. The demand for timothy seed during .the rear Pk'O was quite active —numerous orders being received here from all parts of the East av well as iron: Ohio. A? will be seen from the tables ot prices given below, the market during the year ruled SI.OO higher than i 1 1859, notwithstanding the fact that the re • «ipU here were heavier than ever before. In January the market opened quiet at $2.00(15 ~19lc; but under an active shipping inquiry i advanced steadily tiil in May it reached t t.‘>o. About this time the receipts became tilling, amt in June H was evident the crop of 3 >VJ was exhausted—the market continuing 1 lirm a‘ Early in August the new t r->p made its aj pear.ince, and ?c*. io was freely 1-iidfor the fir?t consignments. As the n*- i- *ii.ts began to increase, however, the market i ;eaiao wc:iker, mid on the 4th of September j rime seed was sold at $1.90. This was the lowest point during the year, and the market immediately impr ved—prices during i uc four la«t mouths of the year ranging from {iooaaso. •The demand for clover seed, though fair, was not so active as during 1859. The ruinous speculations which took place in during that year—when it sold here us high os sd.soper bushel—rendered buyers very cau tiou?, and prices ruled steady and §1.00(31.50 lower.’ In January the market opened at $4.50, had from that date to the end of April the highest pricc rcacbcd was $4.90 and the lowest ;>LOO About" the beginning of ilay, however, tae supply became light, and under an active demand to dll small orders the market reached SSOO, but speedily receded again, and at the close of June, when the old crop gave out, it was Bold at $0.50(24 00, But little of the new crop of clover seed has been marketed. Early iu November there were orders received here, but the receipts were trilling and the sales light, at 55&5.U5. During December the in* quiry was very light, ana the market ruled •quiet at $4.25@4.T0. The bl2h prices paid for Hungarian grass feed in ISSO caused heavy shipments to tbit city last spring, and although the market opened rather buoyant—with sales in Februa* ry as high as per bushel—still the large stock ollercd depressed prices, and it speedily fell till on the 3d of July 1,000 bushels w ere sold in one lot at 2oc per busbeh About the same time In 1559, it was in active demand ut, s3.oo(J£*h2s per bushel. Of the new crop wo have seen none offered. During the past three months flax-seed has bee* in active request—opening at 75c, and speedily advancing to sl.oo(^l.2s—which were the ruling quotations.

The shipments of Broom Com dnrin" the past .year amount to 5.170,1TS lbs against 3,056,- 700 lbs received during 185'J, and 7?J,000 in Thr trade la Broom Com, which lb yet bht in it* infancr in Chicago, promises to become a very important branch of commerce. During the past rear, besides a local demand by manu facturers. numerous and large orders were re ceived here from the New England Statcs,New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Canada. Quite a number of buyer* from the Ea-talso travelled through this Stain aad!owa,and made contracts wlth'tbe farmers for the crop before it was cut. With the fanners of the Northwest this crop has become moVo and more popular, and those who understand how to curo .it audliaye the • facilities for packing it into bales, find it very, profitable. It is to tie regretted, however, that much of the Broom Com sent to this market is very loosely put up, and in this way gets broken and damaged, and totally unfit for ship ment cast. A very large proportion of the re ceipts also show that many agriculturalists do not exercise , that cam in curing it which is necessary to produce a prime article. ■As will be seen from our quotations there Is every wide range betifeen common and choice brush, and there is every inducement fbr farmers to to produce thelatter. Daring the first four months of the year tho demand was very active, but the supply was light and the market was firm, with sales at a range of $80.00(2:140.00 per ton.

The Hay trade of Chicago, so far as Us ship ments is concerned, is yet but in its infancy. Besides the supplies sent to tbcLake Superior and Lumber districts, we have shipped during t he past, year large quantities to New Orleans, ht. Louis, and other Southern cities; bat as no record of the shipments are kept by the vari ous railroads, and only an imperfect account by the Custom House, we arc unable to state the extent of the traffic. For the Southern trade alone, three Hay presses have been at ■work, day and night fur the last four month*; ! and although the political panic has caused • tbe shipments to cease for the present, still we ‘ have no idea that the trade will suffer any ; other but a temporary derangement The table given below shows the weekly | price of timothy and prairie pressed Hay in i this market during the past year: "Weekly Prieto/Pressed Bay in Chicago in 1860. j Timothy, Prairie, per ton. per ton.

During the past year some of the railroads placed Alcohol auduighwines under the same Lead, and this may account for the great in* crease in the receipts.

The .traffic In Fruits, bath green and dry, continues annually to increase, and it now rank* as quite a prominent branch of com* mcrce. Our supplies come from New York, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Southern Illinois; and we distribute them through all the States and Territories west and north of ua. The trade in green apples alone is one of groat magnitude. During the past year we liavc received 204,70S brU, against 134,?24 brls iu 1859. By' the Michigan Central Railroad alone, thereVerc receircd 04,777 brls, and by Lake, 50,955 brls. The market opened is Jan uary with a fair supply and fair sales at §2.00 <£3.00 perbrl; but aa the season advanced, the stock was greatly diminished, and prices gradually stiffened. till in May prime apples were sold at §8.©9.00 per brL In July the new crop began to come In from Southern Illinois ami Indiana, and the market opened at §3.50© 5.50; but aa the receipts increased the market became easier, and prices fell to $1.90(23 00. Just- bciord the close of navigation, quite a number of cargoes of New York apples were received, aud we may safely sav that never be foae was the Northwest aa Veil supplied with lh 5 s kind of fruit at low prices, as at prec-ent. “ With regard to quality, the best fruit comes from New York ; but the State of Michigan al*o sends us excellent apples. Tlic Peach trade in its season was quite ex tensive;,but as/the'various railroads do not recognize this fruit in their classitlcation of re ceipts, we are unablo to state accurately the extent of the trade. From the custom-house books, however, wc And that there were re , oeived by Lake, alone, 14.673 baskets. The bulk of the supply comes from Michigan; but the beat peaches come from Madison county, iu this State. In Strawberries tbe trade is very large; but we an* without figures as to its extent. Dur ing the season, every train which arrives from the cast brings whole car loads from Ohio, and also from Michigan and Indiana. The trade iu“ Dried Fruits is huge and ex tensive—chiefly apples and peaches, which are supplied principally by New York, Ohio, Michigan aud Indiana. Owing to the abundance of green apples, however, Dried Fruits have ruled low, as will be seen from the tables ol prices given below. • Weekly Price of Fruits In Chicago In 1350.

In 1850, however, some of the .railroads did not report their receipts—hence the great dil* lerencc between the figures of that and ISGO. The Cranberry crop was reported a failure, and the market'opened high; but as the sea son advanced the receipts became quite liberal and prices ruled from $6 00(5:8.50 per bbl.
