We have for the last fortnight experienced a succession of days and nights of the most intense cold, such as we never before felt in Canada; and strange to say, whenever it is coldest, the wind is blowing from the "sweet South," just as during last Summer, whenever the air because particularly hot, the wind was blowing from the North. On several morning, the mercury had sunk to 12 to 15 degrees below zero, and now continues to fall almost daily, rendering the roads where the snow is not drifted, in capital order for Sleighing, consequently a great deal of business if being transacted, and to give it a [fillip], the price of Wheat rose on Monday 3d york per bushel, being now 4s 4d york. The state of the New York market will account for this rise. Hogs, of the finest quality are also arriving in considerable numbers, but there is no alteration in the price. Droves of Cattle are reaching Galt almost daily to supply the great demand by the workmen on the Railway, which is now covered with men all the way from the terminus in Galt to the Beverly line. In consequence of this several new Butchers are established, both in Galt, St. George, and Paris, and the demand on the Bakeries in very great.—Galt Reporter.
