During the year 1883, up to the close of business Saturday
night, 7,243,969 gallons of spirits were produced in the Chicago
distilleries. The total receipts of internal revenue in the first
district of Illinois for the year were $8,774,890.
The outcry over the houses of the poor has spread to Paris.
Alarming statistics are published of the increase of overcrowding and
the consequent spread of disease, and no less than 650 schemes of reform
have been presented to the Municipal Council. The deaths between 1870
and 1883 have increased per 100,000 inhabitants from 48 to 96 in
typhoid-fever, from 53 to 101 in diphtheria, from 11 to 74 in small-pox,
from 30 to 43 in measles, and from 7 to 18 in scarlet-fever.
Alarm has been created in French commercial circles by rumors
that the American Congress will make reprisals for the prohibition by
France of the importation of American salted meats by passing a law
increasing the duties on French wines or providing for the seizure of
French adulterations. The National, of Paris, says: "France must expect
that the Reprisals bill now before Congress, which was first directed
against Germany, will now be turned against France."
P.T. Barnum has just made his will. In order that there might
be no question as to his sanity upon which to ground contests after his
death, he had eminent physicians examine him, and secured their
attestation that he was of sound mind. The will and its codicils cover
more than 700 pages of legal cap, closely written, and disposes of real
estate and personal property of the value of $10,000,000 to twenty-seven
heirs. The property is in New York, Brooklyn, Bridgeport, Colorado, and
several other places. Mr. Barnum values his interest in the Barnum and
London Shows at $3,500,000. He gives largely to charitable institutions.
The number of lives lost by the more noticeable accidents of
last year give a total of 125,000, or over 342 for each of the 365 days
of 1883. These colossal figures are attained principally through the
results of three calamities--Ischia, Java, and Syria. Aside from the
earthquakes the year was unequaled in shipwrecks, cyclones, fire-scenes,
and mining horrors. Over thirty people were killed for each day in
January, the Newhall fire, the Russian circus horror, and the Cimbria
shipwreck being the principal of thirty calamities during the month.
Three hundred and ninety-eight people went down in the Cimbria alone.
Two hundred and seventy people burned in the circus at Berditcheff. The
panic later on at Sunderland, England, caused the death of 197 children
and 150 workmen were drowned like rats in the tub called the Daphne on
the Clyde. There were 1,697 murders, 107 executions, 135 lynchings, and
727 suicides.

interest.

subsequently sales were made at 25c per $1,000 premium. The market
closed at 25@30c per $1,000 premium.

More was done on the Board of Trade in corn and hog products at the

LIVE STOCK MARKETS.
The total receipts and shipments for last week were as follows:
Received. Shipped.
Cattle 27,295 11,368
Hogs 89,505 22,450
Sheep 9,417 4,856
CATTLE.--The above figures show a falling off of 18,850 head from the
previous week's receipts. This contraction on the part of shippers is
said to have been on account of advice from the commission men who argue
that the unusual demand during Christmas week following the previous
large supply would not be very large. Dressed-beef operators bought
freely and there was a general advance in prices. The quality of the
beef was not first-class. The highest price paid for the best was $6 65
per cwt. Sales were principally at $5@6. Common lots brought $4 25@4 95.
Some poor ones went at $4. Cows for butchers sold at $3@4, and inferior
lots at $2@2 90. Bulls brought from $2 to $4 75. A few car loads of
Texans sold at $3 50@4 50 per cwt. Veal calves brought $4@7 for 100 lbs.
Milch cows were lower as the supply has been large. There was a falling
off of about $10 per head; they sold for $25 to 55 per head.
HOGS.--During the past week they formed a strong combination to break
the market, all the 20 packing houses doing business here agreeing to
buy only a stipulated number of hogs each day. The plan worked as was
anticipated, and although the receipts for the week dropped to 89,000
against 187,470 during the previous week, there was a steady decline
from day to day. Shippers were good buyers, taking on an average 5,500
hogs daily, but city packers bought only about 11,000 or 12,000, leaving
at times upwards of 28,000 or 30,000 unsold at the close of the day.
Choice hogs declined only moderately, but other descriptions were very
weak. Up to date there have been packed in the West this season about
100,000 head more than to same time last year. The market closed on
Saturday at $4 65@5 90 for heavy; $4 60@5 30 for light, and $3 25@4 60
for skips and culls.
Note.--All sales of hogs are made subject to a shrinkage of 40 lbs for
piggy sows and 80 lbs for stags. Dead hogs sell for 1-1/2c per lb for
weights of 200 and over and [Transcriber's Note: blank in original] for
weights of less than 100 lbs.
SHEEP.--The demand has been brisk and prices for good lots advanced
fully 25c per cwt. The receipts have fallen off greatly. Sales were made
of common to choice at $2 50@4 65. No fancy droves were received, and
they were nominal at $4 75@5.
