Review Of the Market for The Week endlnt
Aug. IS, 1882.
~ There has been no material change in the mar
kets since our last weekly review. Trade general
ly continues dull, and in Produce we cannot looE
for any improvement during the continuance o.
low water In the river. There has been some speeu.
lative movement in Corn and Whisky, predicated
upon the probable partial failure of the Corn crop
in portions Of this and adjoining States; and prices
have advanced.
The river has risen about eight inches since our
last and is still swelling slowly, with four feet wa
ter hence to Louisville, and three feet on the bars
below the Falls.
A eopious rain fell on Monday, and yesterday the
weather was warm and cloudy.
fkElGHTS-There Is very little doing in river
treights, but prices are unchanged We quote: To
New Orleans-Flour 81 25, Whisky 81 IS, pound
freights I5c; to Pittsburg--Whisky 81 25, pound
lreights 4Oc; TO st. Louis-whisky 81 so, heavy
freight 40c, dry goods so TO 55c.

4 BkEsNtt isNoen nee, 31a22c being tht
receipt piief r prime.
BRo0MS-I Ihe market remains dull and gener
ally devoid Of interest. Prices are DOIninally as
before, say SOC TO Doc for common, and 81 35al 40
| for fancy. From store sales are made at Csc to
81 Is per dozen for the former, and 5Oa1 Gj for

but firm. Buckets sell at 81 90 . dozen for 25

Tubs S3193 25 o nest.
BUTTER AND EGGS-Butter has continued in
very limited supply, the receipts during the week
comprising only s3 bbls and IL frkins and kegs;
and this was all taken by city dealers, who have
owing to the scarcity Of after grass in the sur
rounding country, been supplying the daily retail
markets to considerable extent. Packers pay from
9l@l2c for wagon lots, but good and prime keg
and bbl sells for city consumption at l29I3c, and
choice quality would command l4c. The only
sales reported to us were bbls common at lie,
and Is kegs do tile Exported during the week,
500 iirkns and kegs. Eggs remain at 7@7lc 2
dozen.
CANDLES AND SOAP-The market is quiet
but firm. The stock Of 1allow Candles is light,
and that of star is very moderate. We quote the
former lO,@llc, and the latter 20c ID. Soap 5@
SIC for Nos. and /.
CHEESE-The receipts continue moderate, and

prices are steady at 6g6t for selected Western
Reserve. Received during the week 1869 boxes
exported same time 1859 do.
COFFEE-The demand has been only moderate
but in prices we have no change to notice Rio
ranging from o. to 93c, embracing common and
prime in lots. The sales as far as reported TO us
comprise $4,000 bags, chiefly at 9B99lc. Receiv-
cd during tho week So sacks; exported same
time 920 do.
COOPERAGE-Th market remains steady.
with good demand at the advance noted in our
last, and we continue to quote Flour Barrels goa
3jc; Whisky do oOa90c; Pork do 90a95c for prime.
COTION-Ihe market has not undergone any
change, and we quote 7ialOtc as the range, en-
bracing inferior batting and prime spinning de-
scriptions. The stock is about $50 bales
COTTON HARNS-We hear of no sales except
in the small way, and prices arc unaltercd, assort-
ed selling at l5al6c for numbers under and over

! doing, and prices have remained stationary. We
quote No Mackerel, small, 81 50gS 90; do large
s5 50@9 90; No. large Sll 5O@l2 10, and No.
! $l2 5Ul9,13 90.
1 FRUlT--In Domestic there is nothing doing ex
eept in the retail way. In Foreign we quote sale

cline. Malaga Raisins remain at So l5lG2 25 pc
box for lots, and SO 3j@2 40 in the small way
Pea Nuts have been in good demand with sales o
4OO bushels in lots from first hands at 81 2j pei
bushel
| FL0UR-The market for this article has contin-
ued to present a very dull and heavy appearance
but in prices there is no nominal change; though
round shipping lots could not be sold except at a
decline. The sales of the week comprise 90 bbls
wednesday at So Is; l5i do Friday at 50 II; ll0
do (eXtra) at 50 40; I3j do Saturday at SO Is; 200
do Monday at SO l5; 200 bbls yesterday at So IA,
New Orleans inspection guaranteed; IS do at lS;
10 do choice at 25 and6 do extra at 40; closing
with feeling slightly improved under the more
favorable adyices from Europe. The receipts are
very light, but there is an ample stock.
HOGS AND CATILE-HOgs are slightly better,
and prime now command S4 25 per 100 lbs. gross.
We quote 4 00G4 % as the range. Beef cattle are
firm at 90 to 75 the supply falls short of the de-
mand.
GRAIN-Wheat remains stationary at 57@5sc
for new. The market for Corn is unsettled, and il
is difficult to give reliable quotations. Holders
generally asked 40 to 45c, and we understand that
4Oe was offered, but towards the close there seemed
to be less anxiety to purchase, owing partly to the
Copious rain which visited us ON Monday, and part
ly to adyees of probable full crops in some Dor-
tions of our own and adjoining States. Oats re-
main at 20c, with, however, falling off in the
offerings and not much desire to press sales. In
Barley there is nothing doing as yet, and prcesare
nominal; the market will probably open at soc.
We quote Rye at 4S to sec.
GLASS-The market remains firm at previous
quotations, which we continue. We pc ceive that
