There is good demand for Western cur.
rency at dis. for Missouri, Illinois and Wis
consin, and in some cases dealers paid 1 to /
more.
In the general markets, there has been no
special activity during the week, with the
exception of the Dry Goods and Hardware
departments in both of which a large bnsi-
ness is doing, and has been for the last
month; indeed, Main, Pearl and Walnut
streets are crowded with packages of mer-
chandise every day, and the hotels are full of
country merchants. -
Flour has BEEN dull during the week, and
low extras are cheaper. Superfne I'M
changed, and ranging from $5@5 10; low
extra s. 1905 80, and fancy extras, IS 40
(96 25. Wheat was rather better in the
forepart of the week, but fell back at the
close, and 81 1901 16 were the outside
quotations for prime red and white. Corn
has come in largely, and declined to 4o(9
43c for old, and 33@35c foF new, closing
heavy, with continued large receipts, The
quality of the new corn Offering is very
SUPERIOR.
The receipts OF oats were large the last
two days, and the market closed dull at SOC.
Rye unchanged and in demand at 700 Tie.
Barley has declined and is i'll better sup
ply. Prime fall being only in moderate de-
mand Mt s3@S5, whilst the lower grades
are neglected at 7O@7S.
Whisky did not Undergo any change du-
ring the week, ruling steady at lS4, with a
demand fully up to the receipts. No change
in cheese, the demand is good at 1Oc for
shipping parcels. W. R. Butter has been
in better supply, but prices did not change.
the Provision market has been dull, the
demand has been quite moderate, but hold
ers eontended for full prices asking aud
ll4 for bacon and SIT 750l8 for mess FORK,
which are about the only articles in this
line now in the market Aboat the middle
of the week 700 brls mess polk of the best
brands, were put ON the market and sold at
SIT co.. 1t belonged TO q speculator from
the interior, who was compelled to sell, and

There was a nisprint inthe stock of pork
in New York, given in our last. The stock
on the LIST of this month was 34,64O brls
instead of the number misprinted. There
seems to be very little doing for future de-
livery, in the new crop. --l-i
Holders ask SIG so for mess pork, for
December; TIC and sic for bulk meat, and
lO3c for lard. SIG % would be paid for
mess pork; Gle and 8 4c for bulk meat; and
lo4c, and perhaps l0Sc, for lard. For No
vember, lard could be sold easily at 01c
In box meats we hear of no sales, though
we notice an anxiety on the part of packers
on the Upper Mississippi to make contracts
at SIC for Cumberland; SIC for long rib
SIC for short rib; &c for long clear, and 94C
for short clear; but there seems to be. nc
buyers at these rates, which, however
would be paid for first class brands at thi:
place The desire to buy seems to have
ceased pretty much, and that to sell in
creased
Not many hogs offered during the week
and but little done. Lots for ea#ly Novem-
Der were held at Sc rs, and for all Decem-
Der at Sc so, but buyers seemed unwilling
to pay over Sc so for the first part of No
vember, Sc so for the last part and SO %
for all December. - .1r-a- i :
In the Grocery market there has been no
change; the demand has been fair in the
regular way, and molasses has been held
with more firmness, owing to a reduced
stock @ ---- -
The report of destructive tornado which
swept over louisiana a week ago, has made
holders of sugar very firm, as it is stated the
growing cane was greatly injured. This
storm has so injured the railways, that we
have had no New Orleans mail later than
4th, and we are consequently without our
regular New Orleans letter. We are per
mitted to make the following extract from
q private letter, dated the 4th inst in which
the writer refers to the tornado. He SAYS

houses have been blown down, though we
