Tuesday Evening. Aug. Is, 1859. (
This has been the busiest week In the grain and
produce market that We have experienced for some
time. Business IN other branches Of II ade has been
moderately brisk and shows m apparent improve
ment in the times The new crop comes In steadily
and good demsnd has ex.ted all the week for ship
ment wheat opened at Csc and went up to 6s@6sc,
but declined Saturday to soc, with prospect of
being still lower in few days. There s very little
wheat shipped from here--the bulk Of the arrivals
IL ground here and the flour shipped to New York,
Boston and St. Louis. Oats, Barley and Corn are In
good demand for shipment TO st. louis. River
freight was raised yesterday 1lc q bu on grain from
here TO ST. Louis. Potatoes have de lined some this
week but there IL some prospect OF a scarcity and
high prices this fall the rot has appeared and IL
bsd In some places. Onions have not commenced
arriving yet, buyers are ready for them at 40c this
week. There is no complaint about the new grain
except the plentiness Of oats in the wheat Our
ners say they never knew wheat to be dirty ~
II 10 the present season. Oats will not make white
four and unless the wheat extremely we'll cleaned
