The receipts of Grain by rail for the past week
have been very light, not enough to supply the
daily wants Of the home trade under ordinary cir
eumstaness but the mills have been running slow
Iy and the demand from the interior has been only
moderate, consequently Wheat has ruled dull and
inactive, but With 8 considerable degree Of nrm-
ness. The demand for Corn has been small for
both old and new shsllsd, sad transactions have
been limited. Oats were In fsir demand most of
the week, and prices have improved. But little
has bOsn done in Rye or Barley, and prices have
remained about as for the past month. The tran
saetions in Grain would have been mere extensive
II cars could have been obtained for shipment to
the interior. There has been mush complaint on
that point for the past two weeks, but there is
some prospect Of an improvement in this respect.
An advance Of Eve cents psr barrel on Flour to
New York and Boston, by rail, took place on the
18th, making the rates now 81 rs to New York and
81 81 to Boston.
Provisions are very hrm, and during the past
week Pork has advanced 90 90 per barrel, and Lard
one cent Per pound The demand, however has
not been heavy, and mostly confined to the home
trade.
The ma'kst for Highwines has been more setiTe
for the week just olOsiug than for several months
before, and prices are fully i've cents per gallon
better than ct the opening on last Monday.
The dsnand for Petroleum has been active and
steady. Redners report light stock on hand, and
the n arket closes tin at advance OF hVs cents.
Butter and Cheese hsve ruled quiet and satirsly
unchanged in prices, with a moderate home de-
mSnd FOR the former, and 8 fair shipping inquiry
for the latter Eggs hsVe be n in rather better
supply, and tbs dsmsnd more active, owing to the
spproseh OF tho no fdAys.
The recei0ts OF Dressed Hogs have bssn very
HSht bu. towards the last of the week there was
an improvement. Packers are now Offering l4a
IEe for the range. Cold weather and better roads
will have tendency to increase the rssslpts; and
