was plentiful, and could be obtained at moderate
rates. The stock market was firm at previous
quotations.
The market for brcedetuffs was rather quiet, and
not many transactions reported, holders waiting for
further advices from England. Prices were reported

dolts. per barrel, steady; Genessee prime wheat, 1.28
dole. to 1.30 dots. per hO lbs.; Indian corn, round
yellow, 70e. to 32e. per bushel, steady; Indian meal,
3 dole. to 3.123 dole. per barrel.
The cotton market at New York was quiet, and
business to a moderate extent only had been done ;
prices, however, were quite steady. The following
are the quotations: New Orleans and Mobile, mid.
fair to fair, 111 e. to 12 le. per lb.; Uplands, mid. fair

The provision market has been active, and prices
are inclined to advance.
