Business Summary for the Past
Week.

Il
The Money market has undergone fur
| Their improvement during the week.
The market for Eastern exchange has
also worked easier. The supply has in
creased, and the demand is not as heavy as
it was last week. The supply and demand
are now about equal. Buying rates are a
shade lower say 40 prem. for New York
and Philadelphia, and 37(940- for Boston
and Baltimore. There was moderate de-
mand for New Orleans sight at 25EG}30
prem. for bankers checks. Dealers con-
tinued to pay par. Nothing doing in gold,
except in the way of shipment.
Western nncurrent money is steady at Ii
dis. for Missouri, and dis. for Illinois,
Wisconsin and Iowa.
The continued absence OF all speculative
demand for the leading articles of produce,
gives the market for such that dull and
heavy aspect which has been the prevailing
character of it during the last two months.
The market for Flour has not changed in
any essential particular during the week;
holders remain firm, but the demand has
been very light throughout, and chiefly Of
local character; the export demand being
confined to the filling of small orders from
points in Tennessee and Western Pennsyl-
vania. -5,y t.-. -..1-e --af-. ~

received from st. Louis during the week
but it sells slowly, as millers cannot work
it into our grades of flour. Prime Ken
lucky, Indiana and Ohio is in good demand,
and has been all the week at full rates
white selling at 81 35@91 SO, and red 81 80
al 80, whilst spring has been comparative
ly neglected at 81 2O01 %.
Corn has not changed during the week
the market, however, has ruled dull at "A
GAS. 4a5
The receipts of Oats have been fair and
the market steady throughout the week
at AZ.
Rye is in moderate demand at -9O-a
decline.
The receipts of Barley have been large,
and the market closes decidedly heavy, at
decline of to SC per bushel. Large
purchases, we understand, have been made
in Buffalo, at rates equal to about 85c de-
livered, and we learn further that maltsters
of Western New York are offering to sell
the best malt at 9Oc, delivered here. This
we have from good authority so that un-
der such circumstances, any advance in Bar
ley is out of the question. . ~ -.ta
Hardly any thing occurred in the market
for Provisions, during the week, worthy of
special notice. There has been no impor-
tant change in prices. III. f iHtt
Mess Pork declined to SIT, and abont
800 bbls, including first class city brands
were procured at this rate, and some coun-
try was offered at SIT 10, but at the close
city brands We're held at SIT %, and good
country at SIT; but these rates were nomi-
nal, except in the small way, there being no
buyers.
Bacon sold to some extent at 7i@9t and
lOf for shoulders, sides and clear sides.-
The demand continues quite limited.
There has been hardly enough done in
Bulk Meats, upon which to bhse quotations.
though they are held lirmy at & for should
ers and s3@Ss for sides, the latter for heavy,
say 40 lbs average, Small lots country, not
in the best condition, have been bought at
6(96I for shoulders and 8 to Sic for sides.
Lard has been neglected, and we heard
of no sales during the week worthy OF note.
The nominal rates are lot and IL for Dbl.
and keg. 500 bbls sold Yesterday at LOT. u
Grease very dull and ! C lower. a az
There has been no activity in the Grocery
market during the week The demand in
the regular way has been fair, but in the
large way very little has been done. Hold
ers are firm, however, and full prices are
being realized. f t-.....r IS
The stocks of Sugar, Molasses and Coffee,
now in this market, are lighter than they
have been at this season for many years, so
that our importers are not oVerburdened in
this way and are not compelled to sell for
this cause. Coffee is rather higher, and
prime has been sold at LA within the week.

A good demand for Linseed Oil partly
speculative, induced an advance Of lG12.:
per gallon, and the market closed at G7Gf68
Whisky advanced to l8c but il dull at
this rate, which is only maintained by the
light receipts conseqnen upon the stOppage
of some of the distiieries 10y high water.
Fresh Butter comes in slowly and is in
demand at I5Gg20c, whilst fall and winter
made is abuu'laut, and most of it saabIe
only as grease at S(9l0c. There has been
a great deal of money host this season by
dealers in this article, not SO much owing
to the price to the great and unex pectel
increase in the supply.
Potatoes very dull, and prime can he
bought at Is to 35c per bushel. The mar
ket for them is very irregular. nnd it is
therefore difficult to give uniform quotations.
