Aug, 25, 1882.

with the exception of slight reaction in Flour, the
leading staples have not undergone any change.
Groceries have been in moderate demand and
prices are steady. Flour has father advanced in
England which has caused an improvement in
New York. In provisions very little is sbeiDg done,
and in prices there Is no nominal change. The
growing Corn has much improved, and the crop
will be much better than was expected a week
ago.
The river has risen about eight inches during the
week, but II is now stationary, with four and half
TO five feet waterin the channel. There have been
heavy rains, and the weather is still cloudy. A
Pittsburg, yesterday, it was raining, but prior to
that time the weather had been comparatively dry,
while It was wet with u.s.
FRElGHIS-The continued low water keeps
business in check, and there isvery little freight
going forward. We quote; To New Orleans
Pound freight, 75c . 100 lbs. To Pittsbur9-
Pound freight, 40c; Whisky 81. To St. Louis
Pound freight, jOaGOc-the latter rate for Drv
Goods. ''

BUTTER AND EGGS-I}utter has continued to
come forward very sparingly, and the market il
firm at the advance previously noticed. Several
small sales have been made at BE for prime and
yesterday holders generally asked lac for strictly

CHEESE-Ihe receipts have continued very
moderate, and the demand, though light, being
about equal thereto, prices are sustained, and we
renew our quotations Of Cas- for selected Western
Reserve.
COFFEE-The demand is very moderate, and
the market generally is dull; but although prices
iaHOf buyers somewhat, the change is not sufficient
to warrant any alteration in our figures and we
continue to quote Rio at 81 99lc, embracing inre-
rlOr and prime. Among the sales we notice 300
bags at 95@94c, and $50 do in lots at 9tI999c Since

with Il demand equal to the supply. We quote

COTroN-Tho market is quiet, but prices are
unchanged, and we continue to quote 7@t@lO4c as
the range, embracing inferior batting and good
spinning descriptions. The stock is now very light.
COTTON HARNS-The business continues on a
/ limited scale at previous quotations-say ljgl6C

nominal. Lemons sell at S7aS 90 per box. No
Oranges in market. Rasins sell at 50 l5a2 25 for
Malaga in lots, and 3Oa2 IS per box in the small
way.
FLoUR-The heavy rains which fel lduring the
week, atlording some prospect of an improved
stage ofwater in the river, caused slight advance
In flour towards the close, and this feeling was
strengthened by favorable adyices from Europe
and New York. In our last weekly review, we
stated that round shipping lots could not be sold
except at decline, and subsequently to that date
1000 bbls City Mills sold at SO Us lined and deliver
exceptions there had been no sales for shipment up
to Monday night. For city consumption, 200 bbls
sold on Wednesday at 20; 167 do extra at 3 25;
10 do do at 37b; 1000 do good brands, Thursday,

Monday, 1870 bbls at 2j; l40 do at 3 2Oa2 23, and
10 do at Is; Yesterday, go bblS at 25, and 100

market for shipping brands in check, but there is
a firm feeling, and round lots are generally held
at SO l5 We quote good family brands at3 20a3 25;
extra do at 3OG3 3j, and super extra at j0a3 So
GRAIN-Wheat remains at 57a55c, with mOder
ate receipts. Cor. is still unsettled; but as the
prospects of the growing crop improve, buyers
show less disposition TO operate; the leading rates,
however, are 40a42, and for prime lots the latter
has generally been paid. Oals are arriving very
sparingly; the last sales were at 2Oc; but prime
lots would now command 22c on arrival. In Barley
or Rye we have heard Of no sales, and prices are
nOmnally, as last quoted.
