The weather has been rather pleasant
during the past week, with some showers,
the temperature varying from rs to SO.
The accounts from the growing crops in
this and the adjoining States continue ia
vorable, but we have sad accounts from the
South.
Messrs. F. Y. Wiedemer Co., Soap and
Candle manufacturers, have failed, and
made an assignment to their book keeper,
Mr.. John E. Stone Their liabilities exceed
Sl00,000 and their assets, we understand,
will not pay over 40c on the dollar We
learn that their losses were made some
years ago, and it now seems they were
really insolvent for some time, though gen.
orally supposed 10 be rich, and their failure,
consequently produced good deal of sur
prise.
The market for FlouT has been rather
irmer during the week, and prices inn
proved l0015c per bbl. There has been a
fair local demand, and very good business
has been done for export, part going to the
Eastern markets, and part to Georgia and
Tennessee. Fair to good brands, made from
oil vhoaf ha haep anyionSlv Of
at 81 90 to so, while the same grades,
made from new wheat have been compare
lively dull at S4 4005 90. Flour is now
sold and reported by makers brands,
instead of the inspectors grades, as they
had become 50 thoroughly unreliable that
no confidence was placed in them The
shipments of the old stock are still large to
the East, and the quantity of such now in
the market does not exceed 900 0bls
Wheat declined fully Sc per bushel during
the week, closing at 99c for prime red and
81 for prime white, taken at the railway
stations. There have been large sales made
on Change of lots delivered in the interior,
and no inconsiderable portion taken for
shipment to England, by the Grand Trunk
Railway to Portland, Maine, by which
route it is taken for 90c per bushel from
points in the interior of Indiana. The gen
eTdl SAtlSlGtl4Ou tulS AOutc gave 10 Shippers
of the hog product, last winter, renders it
quite probable that Portland is to be a great
outlet for Western agricultural products,
and the expedition with which freight is
delivered over this route, together with the
great wealth and consequent great power of
the company controlling il, renders this
probability almost an absolute certainty in
the minds of those who reflect upon the
great advantages it offers.
Corn declined to I0G4l, oats to 29@3O
for new, which bave been offered quite
freely.
Linseed oil declined to 62M63, and is
dull. Whisky dragged heavily all the week
and closed dull at l6I. Small lots left over
each day sold at l6A.
The demand for bacon and bulk meats
fell off III the early art of the week, and
during the last four or five days there has
been nothing done of consequence. The
Eastern markets have been pretty well sup
piled by The large purchases made for them
the past mouth, so that dealers can afford to
hold off for a while, and the high rates
reached furnished a pretty strong induce
meut to do 50 but holders are firm, and no
disposition is exhibited to. make important
concessions, the belief being general that
there will be q demand for all the stock in
the West at the present rates. During the
last day or two one to two hundred hhds
bacon could have been obtained at 9(09l for
shoulders, and II lf@ll3 for sides, but round
lots could not be purchased at anything be-
low % and ! / {; and except the purchases
could be made before it was known the de-
mand existed, a large quantity could not be
purchased even at these rates. Bulk meat
is held at 81 for shoulders and 1O3@I04
for sides. 1t will be seen that bacon is ra-
pidIy advancing in New Orleans, by refer
ring to our dispatches from there, and it is
we'll known that the stock there is light.
Mess pork aud lard are held firmly at our
quotations, but there is little or no demand
for either
