In Flour, Grain and Provisions the movement has
been quite active during the week. Our dealers
have been filling pretty have orders for markets in
the South, while the demand from the surrounding
counties has continued good. In Produce we notice
good demand for the leading articles, though the
receipts from the country continue light
Upon the whole although the trade has not been as
large usual at this season of the year. it has been
as satisfactory as could have been expected under
the existing excitement and uncertainty in political
affairs.
