There h. been considerable activity in the demand for
leading staples for most descriptions Of Western
produce daring the past week. and prices for nearly
sys.ele In the market have held upward tendency
This buoyancy In the produce market has been caused to
great extent by the condition Of the upper rivers upon
which navigation continues closed without any prospect
ofearly Fortunately considerable stocks had
accumulated here before supplies thus cut OH,
and far the principal effect upon business has been
enhancement of the current rates. Freights and Ex-
changes have been quite dull throughout the week. and
shipmaster and drawers Of bills have in most instances
accepted lower rates.
