ESTERDAY.

While so uncertatita an element as war is the main guide
of prices, thictuations of a somewhat 'violent character

success attending the progress of the Prussian armies has
given rise to the belief that the return of peace is not far
digtant. Accordingly a more confident feeling prevails,
and the tendency of prices to-day has been decidedly in
an upward direction. The market generally opened with
firmness, and though a slight reaction took place about
noon they closed at nearly tins hest prices of the day.
