PRODUCE MARKET FOR TIE WEEK END
LVG FEBRUaRY9O 90, 1850,

TIE quiet which We have chronicled from week
to week for some time past as the chief character
istie Of the market, has continued unbroken since
our last. There have been some fluctuations to
note in market values, but they have uniformly
been in downward direction. Flour has ruled
quiet but steady, with only q moderate local de-
mand. Wheat at the close seems to be in little
better demand, there being an improved inquiry
from country miIers, though not sufficient to affect
prices CITY millers are still idle, or buying very
sparingly, where lots can be picked up at low fig
ures. The market is a little more settled than at
the date Of our last review, holders making some
concession from the prices asked last Monday
Corn continues very dull, and is offered freely at a
decline of394c from last weeks prices. Oats have
shared the downward movement. The inquiry BY
the carload is still weak, the ordinary local de-
mand being abundantly supplied from teams.
Highwines are in larger supply and lower, closing
with saleg at decline Of. .lk9ee. Butter contin-
ues very dull. The only demand, aside from an
occasional purchase for shipment is for the supply
Of the home trade and this is insufficient to work
of the stock dreoeipts and prices are heavy and
lower. Eggs, also, have declined
The market for elover-seed has grown weaker,
and some holders. in order to order to sell, have
accepted large decline while others have obtain
tanned former full prices for moderate lots. The
margin has thus been materially widened, and
shows a range Of some soc.
There has been an improved inquiry for smoked
meats for local consumption, but without any ma
teTial change in prices.
