Review Of Barll.ssea market.

IS Review Of BuflkDgt0n Market
| For the ,ceeh emding Nay 1sta.
The week just passed has been one Of usual ac-
| tivity in most branches of trade. The roads by
reason of late heavy rains are almost impossible,
therefore but little grain arriving By teams.
Our Jobbers continue to have good demand
for their commodities, their stocks are still large
and well assorted. We hear. Of a number Of
sales to merchants on the Des Moines river
which have been shipped to different points on the
River, via Keokuk. This goes far to prove what
we said some weeks since that goods could be
purchased here and sent 70 any point in the
State with as good chances of speedy arrival
home and as cheap as az any point east or south
Of u.s. Merchants in the interior who have hereto
fore made their entire purchases in eastern cities
would do wen to come to this city and examine
the stocks here before ordering their summer
supplies. Money can be saved by so doing both
in time and expences. SEED
The Produce Market has been dull. We do
not hear Of any sales Of Grain or Provisions, and
Wool is not ready for market. No changes in
prices since our last. We quote.

Chicago, May II, 1856.
Market dull; the news by the Asia, seems to
have made but little impression upon it. Plenty
of Wheat was offered, butno buyers to be found.
A cargo of Wheat is reported to have been sold
in Buffalo at 81 u bushel Buyers therefore
were cautious, although last advices from the
New York markets represent wheat more buoy
ant. Corn is lower, and we hear of sales of
10000, 5000 and 5000 bushels free on board at
SEC, and one lot of 1000 at SIC. The latter,
however, is above price, and the ruling rate to.
day may be set down at 35a361. -
