ADVANCE IN DARLEY, Tho substance of Lis fuvestigntions may bo stnted o follows s Tho avorago prico of barley in this marketis from 75 to 80 conts bushol Dut tho arop in the Weatorn Statos was short las yoar, The low prico of barley in 1872 discour- vged mony from growlng 1t, aud mauy ot the vorthorn districts of Minnesots and Wisconsin rolsed littlo, while tho groat barloy “bolt of Town was visitod with such bnd weather about 1hio timo of ripening that mnch of the barley waa digcolored, This resulted in an axcitomont in ."\l:lgnut. which seut up prices and kopt them 010, During August, Septembor, and October, the markot for No. 2 was controlled by Josoph Me- Donald, who hne since sold out to'a great ex- tent. 1lo and othor spooulatora b0|l¥hb up all the barloy in the country, including tho surplus 1 the Cunadinn markots, and the prico was thus carriod up to 2 per bushel, and at one time the wmarkot ronchiod 32.05 for No, 2, though, as the browors began to porsistontly negloct this specu- lativo grade, tho discropanoy in prico boswoon it aud othiora diministicd. COSY OF MANUFACTULE, The Lop orop was also u total fuilure lnst year, and the prico advanced from 80 to 40 contsn ouud, sunullancously with tho advance in bar- oy. ‘Whroo bushels of Larley malt uro required to mako one barrel of boor.

Ono Chicago brewer received nine- ty cor loads of barloy from Californin Inst wook. W'l is much suporior to tho burley grown in the ‘Waestorn Btates, aud s oven superior to tho Canadian. 1t costs, delivored here, $1.85 per bushel.

The averago yearly consumption of beer in $bhis city is 400,000 barrels, of which 823,000 aro made bore, and tho remaindor principally in Mil- wauleo. Tho advance iu prico will not, accord- ing to the brower, moke any difference in tho Yetail price of tho articlo, oxcopt possibly whore it ia sold by tho quart aud gallon, Usually tho votailers get $20 for a barrel, ond consequontly whethor they pay $10 or §19 their profits uro very large. Boma of Lho saloon-keopers say, howover, that they will bLerenftor have swaller glassos, of eight to the quart instead of eix, as ut presont, UQPES FOI TUR FUTURE, It i probablo that tho present advanca in tho prico will last ouly until tho new orop of burley comos in. ‘The bigh prico of barloy will, it is expected, cnuse a largor breadth to bo sown this your thun lnst, and ‘the presont ligh prico of ops will, it is belioved, induce a considerable incrense in tho growth of that article. At the prosent prico of Lops, it is profitable to inmort them from Gormauy, and Inrge mmounts hovo beau recoived from” thore, notwithstanding the faok that the Wisconsin hops are superior in quulity to cithor the Gorman or English artlolo, . ——— THE SOLDIERS’ HOME. ‘The Board of Managers of tho Soldiers’ Homo held & regular monthly meoting at the ome iu Bouth Evanston yesterday foronoon, Pros- ent, Dr. R, D, Hamill, President; Mra.
