The commercial world, in sympathy with Dame Nature, is now taking on a winter aspect, The cold weather of yesterday and to-day is gen- erally accepted a8 ihe beginning of the winter season, and it comes just at the time the change is usually experienced, as ghown by the fact that our winter storage rates on grain commence theoretically to-morrow, though practically not 1ill the 1st of December, The sexson of naviga- tion will probebly close earlier this year than usual, a8 few vezsel owners caro to go foths expense of reinsuring their hulls, and many of them feel pomewhat insecurs with regard to_the stability of the companics that have carried their risks through the summer. Now, therefore, we must lcok forward to rail shipments for the carrying off of our surplus of ain. We hear that arrangemonts havo already een made to carry out some 20,000 or 30,000 'b\x wheat by rail, which, at 63c per 100 Ibs to New York, is equivalent to 89¢ per buof 60 Ibg, or jusb about the differcnce in_prico Letween the two merkets, after ellowing for our storage. TThero is reason to bopo that by tho end of this month our stocks of ain will be emall - onough to permit them to be weighed over without difficulty. It is u | derstood to be the intention-of our warchouse- men to institute such a stock taking, and to male critical and close comparigon of the results, with the recoipts out against them, This can ensily be done, in every case exceph with the old Munn & Scoft houses, the Look-keeping of which would scem to bave been intentionally loose. The othersall keep a “receipt” ledger, which enzbles them to tefl, 2lmost at a glancs, the amount of their outstanding paper at any moment, There is no doubt that George Armorer & Co. will do their best to equare up the accounts on the exceptionzl houses, as they ere anxious 1o do sll in their power to re-estab- Jish the confidence destroyed by the operations of 3lunn & Scott. § The Committee appointed by the creditors of the *“missing Diamond,” to find out his where- shouts, and report . for the benefit of the eaid creditors, seem to have been unsuccessful, thus far, or we shonld ceriainly have heard from thom ere {his. The people who reported thab they saw Diamond in New York, and conversed with him, werc evidently a3 much mistaken ag the folks who expected to ees tho moon eclipeed last vight, and watched, ‘““bub couldn’t sce it.” 1t is thought probable ihat Mura & Scott will take the matter in hand, on thuir own account, a8 goon 18 they have succeeded in Gemonstrating that they Lad nothing o do with the last wheat corner, ¢3 in that cass they might perhaps be able to recover damages forlibel. It may be remembered that Diamond told Lis cred- itors thet he bad been trading for Munn & Scott. 1s it not & pity that tho reputations of bueiness men should be thus cruelly assailed, without bope of redress? < ‘The great question on_ ’Chango fo-dey was, where did that 116,262 bu _wheat go o, thal s0 mysteriously disappeared from the North- western Elevator a few days ago? We indicated this morning that possibly tho Tats lied caten it (the printers medo it read rafes). It now ceems poseible that the ferrefs are after it, and with & Tfair chanco of unearthing it. ¥ TUE MARKETS. The leading produce markets wero moderately active to-day, with few important clanges in prices. Pork and barley were lower, aad wheat stronger, making the average of prices about the same as yesterday. The shipping mevement wes quief, Lut again greater than the volume of receipts. The epecula- tive _movement Was fairly . active. Groceries were moving on. & liberal seale, with little change in values, o }4c advance in stearina candles, and 5c advance in choice N. 0. molasses being the only alterations noted, Sugars con- tinue strong, and will no doubt further appre- ciate, as there i8 & scarcity of refined. as w of refining grades. Coffees were mamhsetfled, though none the less firm, - the ad- vanced .. prices . . established yesterday being thoroughly sustained. The demand for syrups and spices was fairly active at full former rates. Rice, soaps, and candles raled quiet. The dry gcu&a trade continucs fair for {he eenson, and 2 firm tone psrvades the market for all staple cottons, as well as for woollen goods. The tendency of woollens goems to be upward, owing to the advancoin the raw ma- terial. ‘Nothing now was developed in_the bagging market, Grain bags were but little inquired for, while other goods in the list met with only s fair demand. The butter markeb was quoted a triflo easier, in consequence of a light demand and increasing stocks. Cheese re- mains quiet and weak. * Cosl was more active, ‘without change in prices, the market rull Iil:f firm 2t§11.00 for Lackawana, $10.50 for Erie, aid $7.00 for Wilmington. Inthe fish market “businesa was quiet, and, aside from an advance in shore mackerel, former quotstions were unchan; ed. Dried fruits met with a moderate demand. Hay and _hides were quoted dull and weak. Leather was strong. Oils _ remain quiot 8s _ previously uoted. The Jumber, trade wes fair to-day, and prices woro without materiel change. - Building miate- rials are in fair request at previous quotations. Common brick are easy, at $11.50 per m. There is a fair inquiry for cooporage. The offerings aro abundant, and prices are the samo 28 yester- day. Iron, tin, nails, otc., wore active toa mod- crafe extent, values remaining steady and un- changed. - Hops were in fair demand, although brewers aro nobt buying to eny consid- ersble extent. The receipts aro sufiicient for present necessitics. Wool continues quiet 5 the market is very firm, dealers asking from 3@ Bc more per 1b than before tho fire. Beeds wore uiet and unchanged; timothy seed quotable at &5.55@2.90 for promo. Cloyer was frm at §5.10 for prime. Potatoes are in fair d and firmer for choice peachblows. Poultry was in large supply, and sold slowly at reduced prices. Ap&)lss continue to meet with = good demand, and are quite firm af $2.50@3.00 in car lots. Ap- ples retail at $2.50@3.50 per brl. Other fruit was in fair request, and prices unchanged. Highwines_weroe irregular and lower, Bales were reported of 150 brls at 90c, and 100 brls ab 89c per gallon. There is reason to think that the quotation of %00 for several days past wes and closed at 803¢@810. Seller the month sold b 8136@31%c, closing st 81%c. Cssh corn closed firm, ‘with holders at 32¢, and little offer- ing. Rejected was in good demand, and strong at 2934c. Cash sales were reported of 73,800 bu No. 22t 82c; 80,000 bu do at $1%0; 85,400 bu do 2t 3134c ; 12,400 bu rejected at 20}¢c. Total, 151,600 bu. . Oats were less active, and somewhat eagier, especially on fresh receipts, which were 3{o low- er than yesterday, while options exhibited bub little change. Seller the month was little better than nominal at 2lc; seller December quict at 22¢; and seller January quoted at 22}4c. Fresh Teceipts closed at 21lfc. Cash sales wero re- ported of 1,800 bu No, 3 at 2134c; 23,800 budo at 21%¢c; 15,600 'bu do at 21c; 600 bu rejected ab 18i¢c. Total, 41,800 bu. Rye was in fair demand, and firm at the recent advance, Teceipts being vory light, which keeps down the volume of offerings. Cash sales were reported of 2,800 bu No. 2 2t 52¢, and 400 bu do, short Teceipts, at Glc. Seller. December was nominal at 53%4c. Barley was dull, and declined_2¢ per bu. The market was firm early, under & demand for o few ‘car lots for shipment, end the report that thero was quite aline of shorts out for. the first half of the month. But the demand was soon satisfied, and then-free sellers broke the market downfrom 640 to 62c, the market closing dull at the inside. Seller the month was inactive, Seller December sold at 57@58¢, closing at 56}@57c. No. 8 closed weak at 50c ; and rejected dull at 87@38c, Cash sales were roported of 11,400 ba No. 2 at 64c ;38,600 bu do at6314c; 800budoat 63c; 1,200 bu do at 621¢c; 2,400 bu No. 3 at 52c; 400 bu do at 5105 2,000 bu do at 503c; 18,400 bu do at 50c ; 1,600 bu rejected at 39c; 1,600 bu do ab 8802 800 bu do ab 3730 ; 1,200 b do at 36c ; 800 ‘bu by sample at 80¢; 800 bu do at 75¢, on track ; 1,600 budo at 70c, delivered.

The San Francisco Commercial Herald says: The receipts of wheat from the .interjor sre begine ning to wane; not that the supply is exbiausted in- land, tantity exposed to the elements has been measurably conveyed tosplace of eafety, and that the grain once housed and storage expenses in- curred for the scason, farmers evince no anxiety to transport it to market until some cdditional induce- ment i3 held out, sufiicient to cover the increased ex- pense incurred.’ Our city warehouses and all others adjacent to the fide-wafers of tho bay, far and 8 searcely & fair one, as several whispers bave beon heard of sales of 89c and 891<e, and several gnfl.ies roported the merket dull. "Alot of 100 rls was sold yesterdzy at 800, delivered, and the buyer tried . to quibblo_ out of tho tiranssction, showing thab le did not regard the bargain as an extravagantly good one, even at that price. There is very little de- mand either here or in New York at current quo- tatione. Our market was said to closo to-day at 89c bid, and 8934c asked. Tiake freights wero less active, but firm at the outsido rates of yesterday, Early thero was said to be only one vessel offering, and the owner asking 10c to Buffalo; but later a few more were on the market, and 10c on wheat and 9¢ on corn were the established retes by sail, while 12c was paid on whest by steam to Buifalo. A good many vesscls heve stripped for tha winter, but a Jarge fleet is expected to be in port to-morrow, most of which will be offered for anotlier trip. The rates of insurance on grain are now increased to 3 per cent to Buffalo, whilo Tulls ave undisturbed, except on thoss which it is deemed necessary, to reinsure, as tho vessel insurance term Tuns to tha end of this month Atotalof 6 charters was reported, which will carry out 60,000 bu wheat; 54,000 bu corn, and 60,000 bu bxley. rovisions were rather less active—indecd,the market was dull, though hogs were quoted firmer, 28 & consequence of lighter receipts than had been expocted. The packers have nob openod out yot, very oxtensivoly, and some of them eay it would seem that there are not so many hogs in the country, after sll, er they would come forward. There is, however, no doubt that they will como in rapidly enough by- and-by. Mess pork was again weak, options being moro frealy offered at the quotctions of yesterday, though snid to be already so fuuch lower, rolativaly, then meats, that ihere is littlo prospect that much pork Will bo made this season. Lard was steady. Meata were quoted firm. There was no great demand, but sellers were not numerous, a8 the packers have already sold ahead about all that they want to, and pucking is ot cctivo enough to permit of much cash product being offered.” The market closed atthe following range of prices; Mess pork, old hold at $14.50@15.00; new ‘pork, $13.00@13.25 ; do seller the month nominal at §15.00; do seller December, $12.25@12.875; do seller January, $12.121¢; do seller-Feb- ruary §12.12%¢@12.15; do seller March, $12.20@ 12.95; do seller April, $12.25@12.37%.

Cash lots were in much demand, though rather spasmodically iill near the closo, when there were three or four buyera io one seller. The wheat was wanted for shipment, At 10c to Buf- falo, and 16¢ ihence by rail to New York, there is o much better paying profit on ship- ments than : usuel, though insurance 18 high, and the’ andvance in New York to- doy gives o .show ecven to those who ship by tho all rail route, especially as New York Das 50 little on hand that o furtherriso there is more than probable.

Tho buy- ing of both cash lots and options rececived a check when it was known that 195 cars were in- spected for to-morrow, but soon rallied when the - snow, that had beon pleying witli us all the pre- ceding night, commenced to come down in_ear- nest.

Corn was moderately active, rather more g0 than yesterday, and & shade higher on the average of prices, with s light shipping demand, and o fair inquiry from the shork interest, being quoted as held higherin New Yorlk, while the storm threctened to interfere with receipts, and gave the sieculniivo fraternity ~ some little trouble to make deliverios toward the close of the month. A good deal more trading would have been done for November had gellers been & littlo more numerous. As it was, ‘the bulk of the trading was for noxt month, the principal chipping demand being for lots in ‘special houses, to complete cargoes. Seller December opened at 8074c. declined 3£o, advanced to 8lo, nerr inland, 310 mow filled with grain {0 ropletion. Nota little’ of that warehoused Las aiready been ‘bought and paid for by shippers, who have chartered snd secured vessels noeded for its exportation to the United Kingdom. Were it otherwise, there would soon e a noticesble improvement in thé price of wheat ; but this being the case, prices are only steadily main: tained—no material variation observable for several weeks past. At this writing, loy grades of wheat aro neglected, and prices favor the buser, owing to tho yery limifed demand for low grades of superfine flour, for which it is used almost exclusively. Our millers purchase only the better grades of whoat— those suited for the mapufacture of extrs flour—and that chiefly forlocal usc. At this date the China de- mand js light, not sdmitting of any considerabla cxport business in superfine flour ; hence it {a that gur city mills are more or less idle, finding 1o outlst for supertuo beyond that furnished while running Tpon extras, * THE BOSTON FIRE.
