PBOvIsIONs-The market has been very quiet dur
ing the week, with good deal of unsteadiness in
prices A moderate business has been done in the
regular way in most articles but under the advices
from New York Mess Pork has been depressed,
and one or two lots sold at 81 80, though holders
generally ask SD for city brands. Bacon has been
dealt in sparngly, and prices ruled slightly easier
at the close On the whole there is no pressure on
the market, and though dull, holders seem firm but
1t is in that state IN which 1t IS difficult to say what
any article be bought for until the direct offer
is made for it. The market fer Bacon closed at 81
GIO8 for Shoulders and Sides, holders asking
higher; II for common Hams, canvassed and pack
ed: l2} for Sugar Cured do do do III for common
Hams, uncovered. The demand for Lard is quite
limited, though the market is firm at l4(G)I45c
FLoUR.-It having become apparent that the stocks
Of Flour and Wheat throughout the West are quite
light more so than have been anticipated that the
maturing Of the crops this season. owing to the late
ness Of the Spring, must, under all circumstances
be month later chan usual thus drawing upon the
old for months more consumption than is usual,
very general speculative feeling has arisen in the
leading Western markets for this article during the
past week. and prices have advanced here fully 75c
per barrel, Notwithstanding though the news from
Europe by the last arrivals has been very discoura-
gng but the impression is that the home demand
will be fully equal to the supply to meet it, conse-
quent upon the lateness Of the season. The sales
during the week reach 200 brs closing at IS IS
Ia s. so for Superfne; s. S59S5 90 for Fancy,
and S6d6 p for Extra, the latterfOr White Wheat.
GRAIN-Wheat is very scarce, and the receipts so
small that prices must be regarded nominal Prime
Red could be sold at 81 20, and White at 81 25 The
market for Corn not only in this but in all the lead
ing markets of the country, has been good deal
excited since last and prices here closed at an
advance Of DC. per bushel, with great falling off
In the receipts. The sales during the week were
10000 bushels closing att &C. and very little on
the market. There has been good deal taken by
farmers and others, on the river above this place,
to feed their stock; indicating that the stocks
exhausted both in Kentucky and this State, on the
Ohio river, above this place.
FRUTs-Dried Peaches are in good retail demand
and prices rule 25c per bushel higher, closing at
50 25G5 80 for quarters and halves
There mas also been an improved demand for Dried
Apples, and the market is now firm at S2@S2 25
for old, and 81 5OGS2 60 for new. Green Apples
are very scarce and taken by the city retailers
at So 25aS6 so per bril- on arrival.
CuEEsE-Small parcels Of new have continued to
arrive, but the quality being very inferior, prices
have been very irregular, ranging from 10 to lie.
OF old the stock except Of fancy brands, is entire
~ exhausted.

downward; but we cannot alter our quotations and
continue TO call the rates fer dry at l8G2le

business doing the regular way. The sales during
the week comprise ,25O tons at S3O@S3I for hot
blast and S52 S33 for cold do, the outside rates for
small lots from yard. The demand for bars continues
active and prices have strong upward tendency.
We quote common bars at 23@3c, the latter tending
to be the prevailing rate at the close Nails are un-
changed
