WEEKLY REVIEW:


OFFICE DAILr DKNocRAT AND Nsvs.l
Tuesday Evening, Fob. II, 1850.
The wssther during ths past week has bee,
quite noderate-dry overhead bat somewhat dis
agreeable under foot. The receipts Of grain sn,
produce we're not diminished, however, ON aseoun
OF the bad roads, but were fully as large ~ tn,
| week previous.
The wheat market has been steady with bu
little excitement closing somewhat 6rmsr at
shade better prices than last Tuesday-seQssc
The milling demand has increased some what AND
more grain has been converted into Flour AND
shipped to Chicago on storage until rise in tn.
market warrants selling.
| There has been but little change in Corn q good
speculative demand existing for oh oice No. /, and
the market closing firm st 3O@3sc. About one
half Of the receipts we're shipped. The market
for Oats has been very quiet with but moderate
demand for homo consumption, there being No
margin for shipping.
The competition between brewers and shippers
has kept Barley excited and the market unsteady '
and irregular. The daily receipts have been quite
small-a great deal less than the demand.
The Pork trade has amounted TO but little this
week. few small transactions have taken place
but not of any great amount. The demand is ve-
ry small and market quiet. The receipts of Hay
have been quite heavy and the market active but
the figures lows Oo@s 80 for good Prairie.
The rates Of exchange are tho same as last week
viz: Esstern-Buying at 2 per cent. prem sell
ling at ~ per cent. prem; Chicago buying st
par, selling 1t n per cent. prem ST. Louis buying
for specie at ~ per cent. prem and selling at
per cent. prem for currency buying At par and
selling at n per cent prem. Gold is scsrcer and
&c higher, selling at ~ per cent. prem.
The Chicago Prsss or this morning says:
Financial matters open dull, with no immediate
prospect Of any movement. The current rate for
exchange is per cent. premium but the demand
is small being limited TO the actual necessities Of
business. The Indebtedness Of the West to the
East has been greatly reduced within the last
two years, and if the amount Of exchange sold is
IN index 70 the actual condition Of things, there
certainly is not much apsr falling due at present.
Of exchange tends very essentially to lessen the
demand.
Gold, :@2H per cent. premium, with slight de-
mand.
