Glasgow weekly times. (Glasgow, Mo.) 1848-1861, 1855-08-23

The Sunday Republican says-Our last
weekly summary of the market closed with
hemp at 1920 TO 1926 for undrcsscd, and
Sl75 for dressed. AT this time, the range
shows greater extent, and 1920 10 $3.50
for fair 10 choice undressed are freely quo
ted, and $3.50 for dressed. Early in the
week the advance was made TO the highest
figures, and the market has continued ac-
tive. At the close, between 5000 and u,
900 bales only remain in store unsold, with
about 300 on the levee. The latter could
readily have been disposed of at ruling pri-
ces, but sellers asked an advance, and thought
proper to hold over. An undated demand
appears 10 exist from abroad, as well as at
home. Shipments are literally made 10 the
Ohio and to the East, and city manufactur-
ers are requiring heavy supplies, We have
no European advices in relation 10 this sta
pie Of any particular interest.
Flour, after declining in the early part of
the week, rallied again, few days since,
and is now held at about the same prices
quoted in our former summary. Dispatches
of the 18th from New Orleans mention an
improvement, and give the market at 81
374 and firm. The current rates for country
superiine since Monday were $6 so, and at
this price round lot Of city sold about the
middle Of the week. The sales on Satur-
day were SIS G24 for country supcrfne, and
| 81 80 for extra. The Eastern and West
srl markets show great ti,nness at this time,
and although the export demand is not Of a
character sufficient to affect prices, no little
confidence is felt in the maintenance Of pres
ent quotations.
Wheat shows an advance. The range
given in our review, week ago, was Toe
! TO 1850, inferior wet to prime dry red. Or
Saturday, prime red commanded 100 to l.
35c., and choice white l40c., with no quail,
ties under 100c. The better prices ruling
at Chicago and Buffalo are doubtless draw
ing shipments in that direction which were
intended for this point; and this will contin-
ne to be the case until the farmers through
out that Northern section are enabled to
prepare their crops Coz market. The har-
vest in that region is later, and the extreme
wet weather has prevented threshing. Re.
ccilts were less the past week than the
preceding by more than 1000 sls.--the II.
linois furnishing scarcely more than one
third the amount brought forward. The
quality, however, is improving. Injured
lots are by no means so frequent as former.
ly noticed,
Corn continues inactive at gradual
decline, and Is now dull at 63 TO 64c.
Whisky declined lc. during the week
and NJ the close stood at 50 for country lots
Bacon is in good request. The receipts
Of country are very light. City shoulders
command 81, ribbed sides 81, clear 10! to
l4c.; plain hams 10 to llc,, canvasaed II to
l3 cents. Lard in barrels and tierccs /
cents, III kegs Il, and sales. Receipts Of
lard amount 10 almost nothing, if we exclude
two round lots for Ecshipmcnt. 1t may not
be unimportant to state here, that sale Of
1000 bbls, mess pork has been effected al
$l4, and 1000 ut $l4 50, deliverable at
the option Of the seller any time before IT,
lst Of March next. The transaction lhty
seem 10 show the speculative views enter,
tanned III relation to the hog crop aud the
probable ruling rates of the next season.
