Flour has been dull aud prices but feebly
sustained nuiuers have been firm and not
disposed - submit TO a decline, but toward
the close it became necessary to make con-
cessions in order 10 effect salea; and super
fine closed heavy at $4@94 10, extra at
1894 25, and fancy and family at 4 30@
40. The news from New York is dis
couraging, and the market closed very heavy
last evening. Wheat was dull at the close
and prices lower; red s0@63, aud white
5000. The receipts Of white are light,
and of red but moderate. The demand for
corn has been good at full prices, and higher
rates were paid for new than were current
the greater portion of the week. The clos
ing rates for new were 253@26c, and old
29@30c. Oats went up TO 29c, owing to
light receipts and good demand; but the
receipts increased at the close, aud prices
fell back to 27@273. Rye has not cnang-
ed, and is firm at 42@43c. Barley declined
to 40045 in the fore part of the week, but
the demand became active at the decline,
and prices again advanced, closing at 459
so for good to prime fall and 40045 for
spring. A good demand and firm mar
ket for whisky ell the week at 144.
Butter declined &c por h., and is very
dull. The demand is local. and prime to
choice is the only description saleable. The
packers are doing nothing worthy of note,
aud the lower grades can only be disposed
of as grease.
Linseed Oil has advanced to 66667, and
the market is very firm. There has been
good deal sold at CSC, for shipment to New
York, by manufacturers in the interior, and
hence but little is coming to this market.
In the grocery market there is q con-
tinued good jObbing business, and prices of
cliued lc, and the demand quite limited at
43@44c. In the large way prices are nomi-
nal. A good demand for dried apples and
peaches, and prices hig Prime new
apples sell at sc, and fair prime peaches
at 6078, the latter rate Tor choice halves
Cranberries dull at $6@6 SO for common,
and So for cultivated so brls of this latter
kind sold yesterday at that rate.
There has been good deal of irregular
ity in the provision market, and prices to
some extent nominal. There has been q
good demand for lard, and Il was paid on
the spot, and &c for future delivery, for
200 tierces. Mess pork has been in de-
mand at So so for the fret half of Deem
Der delivery, but there are few disposed to
enter into contracts. Based upon an ad-
vertisement Of the Oommissary Depart
ment of st. Louis for a million and half

i've weeks, an active demand arose for ba-
con the last two days of the week, and $50
hhds. sold Monday and yesterday at sc for
rib sides, and sic for clear do. Shoulders
can be bought at SIC, and sugar cured
hams at the low price of SC. Nothing done
in bulk meats. There has been a fair de-
mand for green meats, aud about 10000
pieces sold at 2@23c fer shoulders, 80 for
sides, and 35(94c for hams, the market clos
ing rather dull under the news from New
York, reporting q decline of one dollar
bril- in mess pork yesterday, quoting it at
$l2 5o@l3 so.
The weather has been good for pork pack
ing, but prices do not come up to the views
of feeders, and the receipts have been light.
We understand the prices now current in
New York are equal to So so net here, and
hence drovers are shipping to that market
rather than sell here. Dressed hogs were
selling in New York all the week at sc per
h., but closed dull; but that market will
soon be oVerstocked and prices Decline and
hence all things will find their level.
There is no doubt that large number of
hogs, which would have been packed on the
Upper Mississippi, under ordinary circum-
stances, will be sent to the packing points
on the Lakes this season, and there is no
doubt that Chicago will have as much as
| her packers can furnish room and cooperage
to take care of; but that she will interfere
with or diminish the packing at this place,
as is intimated, is simply out of the ques-
ton, and we should not te slrprised to see
the packing run up here, this season, to
| over half million head, because the num-
J Der of hogs in the section of country trib-
utsry to this city and Louisville this season,
! is not less than one million head, and as
