ASHES : Pearl are extremely scarce and higher.
COAL : We have but to note sales of Pictou froni yard, at
5 dole 75c cash.

FLotra AN)) MEAL : The depression in the market for
State and Western flour continues, and we have to note a
further decline of 50c since our last, with only a moderate
business at the reduction. The advices per Persia prognosti-
cate continued depression in the markets of France and Eng-
land, where the stocks are accumulatiugy Heavy tosses must
be sustained by parties here who have large consignments now
falling due in Europe, and it is feared that they may result in
failures, if that) shall be no reaction in prices, of which there
is but a poor prospect at present. The sales for the three days
amount to 25,000 brls, the market closing very heavy, with a
limited demand. Canada flour has been more active, in part
for export, but prices have receded 25 cents, with sales of
3,500 brls, closing quiet, at 6 dols to 8 dols 50c, as in quality.
Southern flour is 50c easier on the lo* grades, while the
fancies and extras nearly maintain last Friday's currency.
GRAIN: The wheat market has sustained an average decline
of 5 cents since last Friday, with a fair demand at the conces-
sion, in part for export. The stock is small but receipts are
increasing, and holders evince a strong disposition to realise.
The rye market is six cents lower, closing dull and unsettled.
The supply of barley is limited, and the market firm, but we
know of no wiles. The market for oats is,dull, and prices
drooping; we quote State 36c to 42c, Western 42c to 46c, and
Southern 32c to 36c.

HOPS : The business is limited to 90 bales, part for export,
at 7c to 9c, with an occasional bald of choice 10c, cash.
IRON : Of Scotch pig we notice sales of 500 tons on specu-
lation, supposed at 31 dols, since which, the Persia's news being
favourable, the market is firmer, and 32 dols 50c is asked.
Bats remain very quiet, and sheet is without Change.
MOLASSES : There is a fair demand from the trade, and
prices are supported.

NAVAL SYOREB : Turpentine is dull at our quotations,
with small sales Wilmington. Spirits turpentine is held very
firmly, at an advanee of full lc per gallon. Common rosin is
about as last noted, with more inquiry for export. Tar is very
dull at our quotations, and no sales of importance have taken
place.

PROVISIONS : The market for pork has been very much
excited since our last, a good demand has prevailed for mess,
for the settlement of contracts, and with an inadequate avail-
able supply prices of this description have advanced 1 dol 50c
per brl, Other kinds are firm, but without material change in
prices; sales 2,500 bele, closing at 19 dole 50c to 19 dole 75e
for mess 15 dols 50c to 15 dole 76c for prime, 17 dols 25c to
1, dole 75c for prime mess, 18 dole 25c to 18 dole 50c for
thin Mess, and 20 dols (nominal) for clear. Beef continues
heavy, with a fair business; sales 1,275 brie, at 8 dole to 9 dole
50c for country mess, 7 dole 50c to 8 dole for do prime, 11
dole 50c to 12 dole 50c for Vermont mess, 10 dole to 13 dole
for repacked Western, and 12 dols to 14 dols for extra do.
Prime mess is lower, with more doing at the decline ; sales,
850 tee common to good Ohio at 15 dole to 18 dole. Beef hams
quiet and firm, but in the absence of sales quotations are quite
nominal. Bacon is scarce, and wanted at 94c to 91c. Lard
is in limited supply, and prices tend upwards, with sales of
1,300 brls, closing at 91c to 101 c. Cut meats are lower, and
the market is unsettled, with sales of 150 pkgs, closing at 7c
7-2-c for shoulders, and 82c to 91c for hams. In butter and
cheese there is a moderate business, at our quoted rates.
RICE : With a fair demand from the tale, the sales aro
600 tierces at 3 dolt 75c to 4 dole 372 e, cash.
SALT : Fine Liverpool continues in demand, and prices have
further advanced.

SUG There is a fair demand from the trade, but from
refiners there is less enquiry, and the market closes without
animation, and rather less firmness.
TIN : Since the large sales of pig noted in our last, the
market has been quiet, but remains very firm." Tho Persia
brings advices of a further advance. The stock of ad X.
plates is rather better, but, with a moderate demand, holders
are firm. 300 boxes coke tin sold at 9 dols 371 c, cash. Coke
Terne are in good demand, and, being less plenty, are some-
what firmer ; held at 9 dols to 9 dols 124 c, 6 months. For
charcoal terne there is an active demand, and the stock being
reduced, prices have advanced, and at the close there were
none to be had below 10 dole .50c to 10 dole 75c, 6 months.
