Close of Lake navigation.

--Navigation on the Lakes is rapidly approaching its close. Last year it ceased on the 29th of November, and there were then in Chicago, Illinois, 207,549 bushels of grain in store. At the present time there are about 1,500,000 bushels of grain at that place, and they are receiving about 600,000 bushels per week, which will leave a much larger amount on hand at the close of navigation this year than there was in 1859.
