The various plans for raising the loan pro-
posed are given in a clear manner. The
plan of issuing treasury notes seems to be
the best one for various reasons. In the
first place, it would place the loan within
s7anpeE--tn.- vest.
secure and profitable means of investment,
which is greatly needed in this country;
for as it now is, there is really no place
where the money of minors, or wild
ows, or others, can be invested without
mourning great risk. We think Congress
should by all means adopt this plan and it
in this way can get all the money this Gov
eminent needs to put down The rebellion.
/ The general business done during the
week has been but moderate, but the chang
| es, except in the value of breadstuffs, have
| been unimportant.
The weather has been changeabIe, with
some heavy showers, and generally low
temperature for the season, the range of the
thermometer being 20 to 81.
The accounts coming in regarding the
wheat harvest are most encouraging and
the corn is represented as looking remarka-
bly, we'll. Wheat has been generally cut in
| Kentucky, and the southern counties of this
State, Indiana, and Illinois.
Flour continues greatly unsettled, and
/ prices ruled to a great extent nominal.
There has not been much Offering but the
demand has been light, and those compelled
| to sell have had to make large concessions
in order to effect sales. Extra white wheat
sold as low as 81, and then again as high
1 as 81 rs, so that the market being unsettled
1 anything like accurate quotations cannot be
| given Buyers, owing to the large decline
/ IN white, anticipated that superfine -four
would go down to $3, and accordingly an
offer of So so could not be obtained for this
! grade The feeling at the close was firmer,
and millers and others had withdrawn from
| the market. The continued decline in New
York Is the chief cause of the unsettled
state of our market, and basing our calcula-
! tons upon the present price in New York,
/ 81 %, superfne is not worth over SO %
/ here.
Wheat further declined, and the market
/ was greatly depressed, red selling at GOA
CSC, and white at T4(080c but these rates
being below the views of holders. they gen.
| orally withdrew from the market and at
the close red could not be bought below 20,
and white less than SOC. We hear of no
contracts for new crop.
The continued short supply of corn in
duced an advance to 30c, but the supply at
the close was better, and the market conse-
quently was less firm
Oats have not changed and ruled steady
at 23c. Rye declined to 43c, and at the
close there were no buyers at over 4Oc
Prime fall barley continues to be offered at
4s@50c, without buyers.
Whisky unchanged and steady at l24c.

mand. The alcohol manufacturers are
doing very little.
Cheese steady at 6@63c. Butter, owing
to light supply, advanced to lOMl2c for
prime to choice lower grades nominal.
! In the provision market there is not much
change; there has been some demand for
bacon, chiefly shoulders from Baltimore.
and about $40 hhds sold at 4s(045c for
shoulders, 64@6gc for sides, and TIC for
for clear sides, and 63@7c for common
hams. We understand that the stock of
smoked shoulders is now quite light, and
none are being put in smoke. Mess pork
has been held with more frmness, and at
the close there were buyers at $I3 So
holders asking $13 75(0Sl4 90. Lard has
not been dealt in to any great extent it is
held at SIC, with buyers at SC. Sugar
cured hams 93@1oc and dull, the demand
being quite light. 1tA
There was quite a brisk demand for
/ sugar and coffee the last two or three DAYS
of the week, and prices of both are fully 4c
higher. This DEF and is caused by the
probable increase of duty on these articles
Molasses was also more inquired for at 900
! 30c. Fair sugar closed at Gle; good fair,

is also &c higher, closing at 9@94c. Good

Beef cattle have been ir. large supply,
and the market has ruled exceedingly dull
at decline of &c per Genital. At Mondays
market there were some 800 head left over
unsold, at all the markets.. The market
/ closed dull at So for the best beeves. Sheep
/ dull at 81 25(92 25 per head, and lambs at
/ Sl92, and in large supply. Hogs very
/ dull; the ice curers are doing nothing, and
/ the few offering find slow sale at So 75(0
3 90 per cent. gross. We notice that they are
selling in Buffalo at 81 5002 rs.
Eggs have declined to 7G974c, the supply
being better
Wool continues very dull, and hardly
/ anything doing. The regular dealers are
not in the market to any extent. and the
few who are looking about seem indisposed
/ to do anything. Country merchants are
| buying from their customers in payment of
1 debts due them, or in exchange for their
goods, at rates ranging frorn 20 to soc, but
for cash, the outside rate obtainable is CSC
for the best clips, and sales of full blood
have been made in this market as low a;
25c. There is evidently no confidence os
the part of manufacturers of wooden goodsn
their losses last year were large, and Their
are still large stocks of the clip of 1860 on
hand. This crippes their resources, and
the war paralyzes any energy which nigh,
exist on the part of those who have the
means, there being such great uncertainty
with respect 10 the future.
