American Gold.................H prem "a prem.
The buying rate for Missouri, Wisconsin and
Illinois currency remains at : dis, but Ex-
change having advanced to l prem. in Chi
cage, yesterday, renders this an inside quo /
tation.
The Flour market has been quite dull the |
greater portion of the week, though hold !
ers, having faith in better prices, did not |
make any concessions, so that the current |
orders had to be filled at pretty full prices, !
and 81 90 to So 10 has been the whole |
range for superline during the week. The |
stock is accommodating, and must continue to
do so until prices go up again in New York,
or decline here so as to admit of a margin |
for shipment. As it is now, we are too
high to admit of shipment either to that
market or Liverpool.
Wheat is held firmly, and the millers
were paying 81 O8@I 10 tor prime red
and 1901 5 for prime white at the close,
but there was very little doing for export,
| and we may say there is a large quantity
now in store here, held by spectators.
The news from Europe has produced gener-
al disappointment, because it was supposed
the crops in England, at least, were about
ruined.
! The quantity of flour and grain going to
| the seaboard over the lakes is unusually
|
of -four and wheat were equal to 863, 299
bushels. This is certainly enormous for
one day, and then if to this were added the
receipts at Oswego, there is no doubt that
the total would reach a million and quar-
ter bushels, in the "a hours.
Corn has come in quite sparingly, and
has ruled firm, all the week, at soc per
bushel in the ear. Rye advanced to $50
zoe, and has been in good demand. The
demand for Barley continues active, and
95c(0Sl were paid for some 1000 bushels
prime to choice fall, during the week. We
understand that several of our maltsters
have sent agents to the Northumberland
and Buffalo-to buy.
Whisky declined to 1850 Wednesday,
and remained steady all the week at this
rate, though the receipts have been unusual
ly large.
Cheese advanced to 91c for w. r., ow-
ing to good demand. Butter has not
changed, but the supply of prime is light
and the market firm at l40 l6c, whilst the
low grades are dull at 9@11.
Beef cattle declined 25c per GENITAL during
the week, with a supply in excess Of the
demand at SIS 500S6 gross on the spot,
and about 4, 600 head sold during the week.
For future delivery they have been dull all
the week. and at the close it was difficult to
find buyers at Sc so for November, and
there were not many disposed to operate at
Sc 25 for all December. There are not many
offering, however, still the offerings exceed
the demand. The light demand for provis-
ions, aud general dullness of the market, is
no doubt exerting an unfavorable influence
upon the prospective market for hogs.
The market for all articles i'll the provis-
ION line has been dull during the week and
prices of mess pork and bacon lower, and
the demand ut the decline quite limited
The best brands mess pork me offered at
SIS so, and bacon at 9Mll3c but the de-
mand is quite limited. 1t is supposed, and
upon seemingly, good grounds, that there
will soon arise good demand from New
Orleans, as it is believed the supply in that
market, now, will not be sufficient to meet
the demand until the new product comes
into market. Nothing transpired in bulk
meats, except some sales of new for De-
cember, at 6{GG84c for shoulders and sides.
The stock of Lard is about exhausted ex-
cept keg. Some small lots Of brl. and
fierce sold during the week at l23H, he,
and 400 kegs at 1859. Sales OF new for the
last part of November could be made at lOC,
but there is not much disposition to sell for
either months.
Coal oil has advanced to 75(0S0c, with
an active demand Linseed oil is selling ut
5GG957C, and lard oil at 93G995c, for No. !.
In the grocery market there was an ac-
tive business done during the week, at very
full prices. The exports were: of sugar
797 hhds; of coffee, 2,337 bags; and of
moasses, 1904 brls to these may be added
one third for the city and suburban con-
sumption, and it will show a very large
cOnsumptive demand. The stock of all ar
ticles is light indeed, of coffee and sugar,
there is, properly speaking, no stock.
