THE DAILY DISPATCH.
MORNING, NOVEMBER a, 1854.
COMMERCIAL
RICHMOND MARKETS. November q.

general eoivency OF the mercantile classes 10 spite
OF this pressure-severer than any since 81. How
long IL wtlast and how far may go remains to b.,
seen. wehope the crisis has passed
Breadstuffs stiil remain firm and advance as
Water comes on 10 confidently anticipated by
many. There is no doubt that the crop of
wheat 10 nothing like large - was supposed, and
very defective Ia the absence Of . foreign demand
there ought nevertheless to be enough for home
copscmption at moderate prices.
Any foreign demand, however, win run up prices.
In view of the linked crop, as might be expected,
many are holding back WHEAT, and the stock on
hand 10 the principal citicr Is uncommonly small.
If winter comes suddenly upon Ms even without a
foreign demand, prices win very probably be
smartly advanced. Blu. for the scarcity of none,-
and the difficulty Of discounts there would now b.
q greater speculative operation In Ereadstuffs anf
that would also occasion advances
One remarkable fact of the pressure r., that prices
maintained. Mechanics are constantly occupied.
20 long as these substrata OF commerce arc weti
sGrt2Fsed, we need feel no serious alarm.
r~These lu6sations are wholesale. For AnsIl
orders higher priceSwfl Discharged.
