The Breadsiuff- aud Provision markets nave been
ir the lat few days very much excited. Breadstans
| during the week have been very acti'e 1dcedi al
times the excitement has been very srea-the market
for four being stimulated by the light arrivals the re-
drced stock Of good brands and the warlke news
from Europe. The advance 90 the medium And better
grades has been 81 al - g bbl, with large speca-
ative purchases al the advance; but the bulk OF
the purchases have been made f actual consumption,
| ard We find our stock reduced to les ihan 3l0GD
tbls. notwithstanding the arrivals have been far.
| The aggregate sales OF the week were F0eW
| bbls, the market closing tameiy-the extreme
| rates demanded restricting transactions ma,eTl-
| allv. and we notice more disposition the
| mart of specu.iive holders 10 realize. The
i,ouiry for W heat hes been very active, restricted
in part b7 the advanced rates asked and the undesr-
able assortment offering. The arrivals have been
moderate and the buk of stock of red aud mixed
Hheats has changed hands, the closing prices showing
an advance Of - DC bush, and on some descrp-
tious We have TO note an actual advance OF VIC. 6
bush The improv has been the most marked N
Winter of which our stock is quite moderate; the

also been in lively request and has advanced 5Gle.

improved materially, but close dull and heavy The
transactions in pork have been very large the excite

we do not remember week of much activity and
buoyancy. Meas has been particularly active in part
for future delivery; the advance on this Is g 80 e

| The Railroad Managers, who have been in session
here during the week. have adjourBed until the 10Th,
without having absolutely agreed upon any basis Of
settlement In the meantime, the freight agents Of the
different roads are meet and endeavor to agree upon
sne tariff Of rates 10 be reported for acceptance 10
the meeting on the .th inst II is understood that
some reduction of spsed viii probably take place and
general advance oi rates oi rensportatIUn provided
| platform acceptable 10 the Neg.YoTk Central can BE-
agreed upon which however, generally believed to
| be mpracticable. as the New-iork Central was not
represented officially at the meeting on Saturday even
the points upon which the Convention agreed must be
submitted to Mr.. Corning; and if he continues TO &C
copy the same position did week ago, it is difficult
10 sec how common schedule of speed and rates
be adopted without yielding upon the part of the
Southern lines than they will be likely to consent to.
