L
Country dealers can obtain their supplies here at
as good figures as in St Louis or Eastern cities.
PRoDucE moves slow--we have but few trans
| actions to note. The last news from Europe has
had a tendency to advance prices Of provisions
in the eastern cities, and although no material
change in our market is visible, yet holders are
more firm. The prospect Of the late opening Of
navigation in Lakes and Erie canal fayors views
Of holders. If navigation should not not open
for one month, it would allow plenty Of time to
clear Eastern markets Of their surplus, andin con-
sequence better prices would be obtained for
produce arriving via the Lakes.

hear Of no sales The coarser grains have not
begun to come forward, therefore we cannot give
