son. The continued depression in New York and j.
Albany, notwithstanding the "combination,' and
the increase In receipts here had the effect OF de-
ter1iug shippers from operating to any extent. 4
few premium lots, such as last week sold at $575lS
600, suffered decline Of about &c. but all other
grades held their own, as the Government contrac-
tors were In tho field purchasing largely to fill up
their contracts.
THE CLOSE OF THE MARKET-
Saturday Etfning.-The market opened dull
and heavy this morning, and continued 20 through
out the day, as the Government men, having made
mp their requirements On Thursday and Friday,
stepped out and left the field to the shippers and
apeeulators. They were not much in buying
mood, unless at material concession, which hold
efs would not submit to, and several Of them pre-
ferred shipping East on their own account The
market closed dull and heavy, with good many
left over, but VIC make no material change in qdo-
tations, as VIC are Of opinion that the bulk OF the
sales Wil~show about the sane average as last
week.
