In Flour, yesterday, very little was done,
and the market was duller; superfne not
being saleable at over 81 so, and only to a
moderate extent at that price. The market
closed unsettled, andiprices were for the most
part nominal. Whisky continued dull, and
rates were unchanged; only 3O2 barrels SELL
ing at l2Ac. Small lots of mess and rump
Pork were disposed of at SIG 30 and $40 so,
but the market remained very dull, and
prices nominal to.a great extent. Groceries
were unchanged, with very little doing.
The local demand for Wheat was still good,
and the market ruled firm. Rye and Oats
remained steady, and Corn and Barley dull.
Yesterdays Louisville papers say of Fri
days Provision Market:
Provisions are dull, and mess Pork has de-
clined fully So per barrel, the market closing
heavy at SIC so. There is still a large stock
on the market, and holders are anxious to
sell. Bacon is quiet, with but little doing |;
and we have no change to make in quote

Fridays New York papers speak thus of
Thursdays Stock Market:
The features of the Stock Board were not
marked. Small sales of Government Stocks
we're made at the full prices of YESTERDAY,
and there was a good demand.
The Bonds of the border States were
lower, and there was a strong desire on the
part of operators to sell them on time, but
sales in that way are difficult, although the
demand. for cash bonds continues strong, par
ticularly for Tennessees, Virginias, and
North Carolinas. First. class Railroad Bonds
are sought after for investment, but Bank
Stocks are neglected.

Western Shares were all dull, and prices
show q decline of H@l per cent, upon the
quotations of yesterday. Between the ses-
sions there was agood demand for cash Stock
and prices rallied a little, and at the Second
Board there was a fair business done at
about morning prices, but the market closed
firm at a fractional advance on the ~specula-
tive shares-the greatest 1uctuation being
in Illinois Central, which closed at 60 bid,
after selling as low as COZ at the morning
Board.

New YORK DRY GOODS MARKET.-Friday's
Tribune refers as follows to the New York
Dry Goods Market:
The general Dry Goods jobbing trade has
not improved since our last review, and dull
ness reigns supreme. The activity in mill
tary goods has in some measure abated, from
the want of ~stock-eyery thing in that line
having been taken for army purposes. The
sales are now chiefly made for future deliv-
cry, and this demand seems far in advance of
possible production. Our wooden manufac-
turers need have no hesitatancy in turning
their attention TO these particular fabrics, for
it will not be possible to overstock the mar
ket for months TO come, if indeed a supply
can be produced. The plan ofthe campaign
so far as indicated by the GoVernment-in-
wolves the preparations, at least, for a long
war, and the necessary equipment, will re-
quire large quantities of goods. This de-
mand will not be confined to wooden fabrics
alone, but certain styles of heavy cotton will
feel the influence, and the market will be
gradually strengthened.
The demand for export during the week
has been moderately good. The shipments
to Chill and the South American markets,
as furnished by the Custom-house returns,
were nearly seven hundred bales; and some
orders have been filed for Drills, TO be ship
ped to China, on English account. This is
no unusual occurrence, for Drills at SIC.
are cheaper than they can be made by our
English cousins; hence they seek our mar
ket. Besides, the American goods have q
high reputation in the China market and
command better prices. In the general
class of domestic cotton, aside from the
heavy makes, there is scarcely any move.

Printing Cloths are without a market and
the high price of Cotton influences holders
TO withdraw entirely. We see little en-
c~oursgement for any manufacturers to keep
their mills in motion, which are adapted "a

must reduce their production, which, we
believe, is being generally adopted, with
few exceptions.

Goods circles during the past month, is haT.
