REVIEW OF TIE eLEYELdND FHoLE
SALE PRODUCE MARKET FoR THE
WEEK ENDING NAY %. lsoO.
The heavy feeling in the breadstufs harke
noticed in eur last review, resulted in 3 large
decline in the price of wheat. On Monday af-
ternoou red wheat dropped to $50, and sold
quite freely at that figure. At this price it was
held for q day or two, but has since become
still further depressed. At present there is no
actual market price, and sales could onl be eff
ected at large concession from the above Rg-
ure. In fact we heard on Saturday Of an offer
o 8 considerable quantity good red 1t sl,2S,
without buyers The favorable appearance o
the incoming crop, with general declining
market, seems to have inspired holders in the
interior with desire to sell, and large amounts
have been sent forward. which, in the absence
Of any demand, have caused q considerable ac-
emulation.
The same remarks are applicable, 10 great
extent to corn, which is arriving IN large
amounts, and can find no outlet at present pri
oes. The repairs on the canal have been com
Plsted, and there have been some receipts BY
that avenue. and still further arrivals are ad-
vised of; to get rid Of which the market must
rop to q shipping point.
Flour has been held at old prices, but there
is nothing doing beyond the usual retail sales
at those figures. Tie receipts are spoken Of BY
commission dealers as light.
Oats, Barley and RE are quiet and unchang-
ed.
New cheese is arriving freely. and selling
steadily; occasional sales of considerable guam
titles being reported. Butter continues as qui-
ct as ever. The only demand beyond the re-
quirements Of the home market, is for an 90
easionsl lot for shipment to the Lake Superior
country. The demand for eggs has been slim
ulstsd somewhat by orders from the same
source.
Highwines have ruled steady at last weeks
quotations.
In the provision market there is no change to
note. The demand for smoked meats is active
and regular.
Increased receipts Of lake fish have caused q
decline in some varieties.
Among Jhv Hysivval5lv 49, &c brainess news
for the past week, is the extension Of one Of the
! Detroit and Lake Superior steamer lines to this
city-an arrangement which will no doubt in
crease our already considerable trade with the
mining region, and furnish market for many
articles Of produce which have hitherto been
purchased at Detroit.
