The Ohio Valley Bank CONTINUES, of
course, to supply Eastern Exchange at
premium-usual terms.
The weather during the week has been
cool and dry, but little rain having fallen
and there is good deal of complaint in CON
sequence, as the corn is suffering IN light
soils down the valley of the Ohio, and from
the southern counties of Indiana and Illinois,
the complaints on this head are quite gen
eral, and there seems TO be no doubt that
the late corn has been seriously Injured, and
that the crop will be shortened perhaps one
fourth, in the sections referred to, that is, it
will be that much less than was expected a
month ago
Flour in the early part Of the week, was
very dull, and the demand quite limited
so much so that prices were little better
than nominal but during the last three
days of the week brisk demand arose,
under the favorable advices from England
and the consequent advance in the Eastern
seaboard markets, and prices advanced fully
zoe. per brl. on the lower grades, and the
market closed firm at 81 65G94 rs for fair
to good brands superfne and 81 80 to S. 10
for extra red and white wheat. Wheat has
Auctuated some, but at the close prime red
was in demand at 9Sc@$l 90, and prime
white at 81 l2G,l Is. Inferior grades
which are plenty are dull and sell slowly at
93O95 for red and 81 O5C0l 10 for white.
An active demand arose for corn toward
the close of the week, and the receipts be-
ing light prices advanced 2(d3c per bushel
for ear shelled unchanged. The cause of
this advance is the falling of in supply, the
receipts being quite light. A continued
good demand from the South, for shelled,
at 53@55 including bags, butthe incapacity
of the Railway from Louisville to Nash
vile, to take the freight Offering, greatly
curtails business with Tennessee, and South
and East of that State. 1t seems the Com
pany has not enough of rolling stock to do
the business Offering and hence there has
been great cunulation at Louisville.
Rye and Barley have not changed in de-
mand or price during the week. Oats de-
clined to 28c under large arrivals.
The Provision market has been extremely
quiet during the whole week. Some sales
of bacon were made for the first two weeks
in September, delivery during the week, at
10, II, and l3c for shoulders, sides and
clear sides, but during the last three days
there has been nothing of consequence done,
and no demand, SO that prices at the close
are merely nominal, at %, , and l3t for
bacon, Ss(9ll for bulk meat, and Sl9 100
20 for mess Pork, which are the asking
prices at which holders are decidedly firm,
having full faith in the future; still, should
/ there be a continued absence of demand for
another week, there will be some found, no
/ doubt disposed to concede something to sell
| out. Lard continues to be neglected, and is
/ nominal at u &c for keg, and I2$0l3c for
/ brl and tierce. Whisky, owing to the light
receipts, advanced &c during the week and
/ closes firm. The Grocery market remains
without important change; the country de-
( mand is fair for sugar, but quite limited for
/ coffee and rlolasses. A remarkable feature
I in our trade with the South, is the shipment
/ of cabbages, cucumbers and tomatoes, to
| Tennessee and Georgia, furnishing unmis
\ taxable evidence of the real nature and con-
| sequences of the drouth, in the South and
| then, on the other hand, our market is full
/ of green peaches, brought from Tennessee
/ by railway; but though offered at 80 10 40c
per bushel, they do not sell freely, being
seedlings still it has a most decided in
/ huence upon the prices of the grated fruit
of this State.
The hog market proSpectlvely, has at
tracted good deal of attention during the
week, and quite large number of dealers
! from the interior have been in town for the
eurpose of making contracts for future de-
| livery; but the pretty general willingness to
/ sell for November at So so, net, injured The
faith Of the buyers somewhat, aad they
withdrew, indirectly offering So % 10 49,
but there not being many willing to con-
tract for November below o6 so, the business
done in this way during the week did not
exceed 1000 head at SIS 4O(G6 so, closing
rather quiet. We notice sales Of 5000
stock hogs, brought from Tennessee, at
s. IS per GENITAL gross they averaged about
/ 100 lbs, with abundance of bone and
bristles. They were taken by an extensive
farmer of Butler county. We have been
informed by parties residing in Tennessee
that parties from Indiana and other States,
are to BE- found in all parts of the State buy
ing stock hogs, and that about all to be had,
have been bought at 81 to 81 gross, and at
