Weekly Review OF the 81. Louis
Grocery and Produce Market.

SATURDAY EVENING, Oct. 10, lS9O.
There has been quite falling off in the Groce-
~ trade his week, yet stocks are not large; and
prices are maintained under advices from the
South of damage TO the cane crop by storms, &C.
This mornings Louisville Courier says:
We learned to-day by private letter 10 one of
our Grocery houses that some of the planters in
the South rad commenced grinding their cane,
bat being able to get but few hundred pounds
TO the acre, stopped, and will now wait for a
week SO before they commence again. The
weather there has been unfavorable for the cane
ana ii has grown but slowly,
1t will be seen by orr dispatches of the Il that
Coffee stocks at New Orleans are but 1900 bags
against $500 last year. Al Baltimore yester-
day, Coffee was active, with sales of cargo Of
4,2UG bags al IA, and 800 bagsat l44 10 I5!c.-
Stock in first hands only 1000 bags. Sugars
active with sales of 666 hhds and 80 boxes at
6! 10 &c. In the st. Louis market there Is no
change 10 note in rates this week, fair Coffee
selling at l5!c, good fair at 15Ic, and nearly
prime 10 choice at l6 10 l6ic. Sugars s TO &c
for common to prime. Rice dull at sc, and mo-
lasses doll at any price re-boled nominally % 10
30c; plantation, 81 10 Csc.
The low water in the rivers and high freights
have operated seriously against the Produce trade
this week but there have been long and heavy
rains IN Wisconsin and other points above on the
river, and an improvement may soon be looked
for. A speculative feeling exists in the FLOUR
trade and 5000 to 1000 bbIs city superfne sold
o-day mostly for 18th November delivery, at
So Is r bbl During the first of the week some
5000 bbs also sold for November delivery, at So
15S5 l2I. with some for present 1: So. In GRAIN
there has beeen but little change in rates fall
of one or two cents, owing to high freights; but
receipts are so small that no material change in
the market is perceptbe. WHISKY has also de-
clined &c, TO IS@1s4c.
The HOG TRADE.-Nothing new has trans
PRED in our market. Packers are now willing 10
pay Sc net for 200 b aver ages, now. for Deem
Der delivery, and higher for still HEAVIER hogs; but
we hear Of few sales The past week. At LOUIS
vile, the market is dull, while at Cincinnati and
Chicago it is lrmer. Saturdays CINCINNATI Com
mercal says.
Hogs are daily contracted for, and in generally
very quiet way. There were said TO have been
20 ID to-day about 2 coo head; Sc G2&@SG 10 for
November delivery, and So 90 for November de-
livery, being the range of prices.
The Gazettee of same day, says:
In hogs we heard of sales of eco head at Sc
IS for November and So 90 for December. The
market is firm at these figures.
Hoes AT LoUIsvILLE.-Fri days Courier says:
The hog market continues dull, and holders are
not willing to make any contracts FOR future de-
livery, at any price. Holders are offering some
few at So gross, delivered in the country, but are
not able to find purchasers. Our packers have
already purchased large number of Hogs, about
100000. most of which they paid So gross for
delivered at the different railroad station.
