CITY TRADE REPORT.

NEW YORK, APRIL 2.—The market for breadstuffs con-
tinued firm to-day. Our remarks, made some time since, in
reference to the probable time and extent of supplies, have
thus far been fully realised. We then stated that no large
additions (unsold) could be made to our stock till the open-
ing of the Erie Canal. The present state of our market con-
firms our views. Moderate sales of Genessee flour on the
spot were made at 7 dolls. 50c., while considerable sales were
made, to arrive on the opening of the river, at 7 dolls. 25c.
Sales were also made, for delivery in May and June, at
lower rates, but at an advance on previous engagements.
The supply of corn was less abundant, and prices very firm.
Some yellow, in the city sold at 98c. to 99c., and Acme, to
arrive, at 96c. ; parcels of white commanded from 89c. to
91c. The firmness in provisions, noticed yesterday, 'was
maintained to-day, with a moderate amount of sales. Gro-
ceries were steady, though sales were limited.
