The Bresdstuffs market for the past week bss been
strikingy in contrast with that OF the week previous
the excitement and activity noted in last review
hs,ing been succeed on Mondsy by an almost COM
pete prostrstiOn, which under the irregular and
settled condition Of the New York MARKET prevailed
in greater or less degree throughout the week, buy
ers and sellers being generally far apart In their
views. Under the influence of light receipts, how
ever, and pretty general opinion among holders
that the advance made in wheat and -four the week
previous would not be materially nor permanently
abandoned, the falling on in the demand was not &C
companied by proportionste decline, concessions
being made reluctantly, except on few round lots
from store thst the holders we're anxious to get on
their hands. As the week drew toward the close,
however, an improved feeling obtained and buyers
and sellers got nearer together. as a result, the
movements of wheat yesterday and to-day were COM
psratiyey large and the market ruled firm at 81 5Oa
| l,52 for red rom store and on track
The demand for Flour during the week has come
almost entirely from the trade which has been fairly
active The prices Of last week have been generally
maintained, only the extreme figures experiencinga
decline. A stronger Now York market yesterday
and to-day, and the advance Of gold, combined to
create irmor feeling here at the Close and the en-
suing week will doubtless open at better figures than
we quote to day.
Corn opened dull and without inquiry, continuing
very quiet till Thursday, when demand sprang up,
and the market advanced 1O. Yesterday and ts-day
the inquiry quite active, which, with very light
receipts, induced further advance Of &c each day.
the market closing firm at to-dsy's quotations.
Oats have been in fair inquiry during the week,
with very light receipts, and the market Tuesday
advanced Sc from store, ru'i ing firm to the close.
Rye and Barley have been entirely neglected, none
Of the former and but few hundred bushels OF the
latter having arrived during the week. The prices
remain nominslly unchanged
Provisions have been in good demand throughout
the week. and with the exception OF Pork, which de-
oined t 90 per bbl Tuesday the market has ruled
firm. At the close to day dealers report return OF
Pork to the price before the decline, viz: $3.50.
Eighwines ruled very dull during the greater part
o, the week and the market unsettled at range
Of sI,lGaI,l5. On Friday, however, thelesding
kets became greatly excited influenced by the strong
probability Of early passage OF the tax bill, and
an advance Of l0c took place upon inside figures
The market here on Friday was active at sl2O@I e.
considerable quantities changing hands at the inside
figure To-day's market has been quiet, but holders
firm at 81, ,2eGl,z2 chiefly the outside figure.
Butter and Eggs have had the usual trade demand
duriog the week, and we quote both lower then at
our last review. Butter Is coming in quite freely,
and further decline will Of course follow the in
creasing supply Primo Cheese continues very scarce
and the market is firm at our quotations.
Groceries continue in active demand, but the mar
kst has rued more steady since last review Su-
gars have been arriving freely in the Eastern
markets during the week, particularly white, in |
which We record a slight concession. Brown are
shade rmer. Coffee has ruled firm, Bio being shade
easier on outside figures. Dried Fruits are quoted
higher.
Petroleum has been firm, but rather quiet, during
the week. at 65c Adyicss to the New York press state
that the Committee on Ways and Means, at their
session Friday night upon the tax bill, adopted an
amendment increasing the tax crude TO sIOO per
barrel, and refined to Csc per gallon, and dis
patches say that these rates will be adhered to- With
the strong probability existing that the bin will pass
very nearly as reporte from the Committee an i'm
mediate advance in Petroleum NAV be expected.

sued their price lists and unable to give pres
