leading articles, with falling off iu receipts.
has enabled holders to realize an advance on prices
since our last review. Among these articles, we
may name Lead, Hemp, Flour, Wheat, Pork and
Bacon--in all Of which q fair business has bee n
done during tho week, and they are still in brisk
demand at our present quotations. Altogether the
market presentsa healthy and upward tendency,
particularly for the above named artices--boing
y rably influenced by light receipts, reduced
stocks, and declining freights.

good navigable stage for some time to come.
