1t was reported Monday, that the Bank OF
Aurora, one of the Illinois banks, had gone
to protest. This is of little moment to the
noteholders, however, as they are secured,
the notes being redeemed 10y the State Au-
ditor.
Business during the week has presented
few new features of in nerest. There
has been fair demand for the better grades
OF Flour, and the market has ruled dull and
the demand has not been equal to the offer
ings. A good portion of the demand is
from Tennessee and Georgia. Prices did
not undergo any change of consequence
during the week. Millers from Northern
and Eastern Ohio, and from Western New
York, have bought wheat quite freely, and
prices of the better grades advanced fully
safe per bushel, closing at 9Sc for prime
red and : l0c for prime white. By the
heavy rains we bad two weeks ago, large
quantity of wheat was injured, in the re-
gion of country extending fifty miles from
this city, in all directions, which was about
the extent of those rains and we find a good
deal of that brought to market, has sprout-
ed. There is also an unusual quantity of
cheat in the wheat this season, and on the
whole so far the offerings have been far
from what may be called in prime condi-
ton. Oats have suffered badly, and several
parcels brought in during the week have
been sold with difficulty at 22M25, whilst
prime new brought 26(a SOC and old 81
035c.
Rye advanced 2(03c per bushel, and is in
better demand. No change in barley; there
is limited demand for it Mt 75c per bushel
for prime new fall. Whisky declined to 81
cents in the beginning of the week, but
again advanced to l63c, and closed at this
rate. The provision market has been quiet
throughout the week; and great effort has
been made to break it down, taking advant-
age of the absence of demand, and offering
small parcels at a decline. A few were
slightly alarmed, and several small lots of
bacon, part prime and part not, were forced
off at 9C194 for shoulders, and IIG9l14 for
sides. Generally speaking, the frmness of
holders was unabated and all that is nee
essary is even a moderate demand to put
prices up again. With caution and secresy,
it is possible two or three hundred hhds
could be bought during the latter part of the
week at % and ll4, but there is some doubt
that this could be done. The baroness of
all the seaboard markets of stocks, and the
known moderate stocks in the West, consti-
tute the foundation upon which this extreme
frmness rests, and until the stock passes out
of the hands of those who now control it,
no important decline can take place. Clear
sides have been held at l2$GDl3.
Mess Pork is held firmly at $40, with
buyers at $l8 IS, and yesterday 200 bbls
brought SO. Nothing has been done in
bulk meats; they are held at 81 and 109
for shoulders and sides, and IO4 for heavy
sides.
Sugar and Coffee have not changed in
VALUE during the week. The demand has
been fair, in the regular way, at full prices.
Molasses has been quite dull, and
though offered pretty freely at 43, in the
large way, meets with but a limited de-
mand. Several parcels Reboiled, some good
and others very inferior, have been sent to
this market, and are offered at 80 to 36c per
gallon. Though not liked by consumers,
yet it finds its way into the consuming dis
tricts, and te"ds to depress the price Of
prime.
Linseed Oil has been rather dull all the
week at 81 l4062 on arrival.
The market for Hides and Leather is in
an unsettled state, and prices are little bet
ter than nominal An important decline is
looked for soon.
