SATURDAY EvEsIEa. April 9, 1884. 7
This market for the week ending with to-day,
though opening very dull and heavyon Monday, has
since shown good degree Of activity for almost all
articles quoted and steady advance has taken place
upon leading articles, and particularly Brsadstus,
since Tuesday, the market ruling very firm to the
close The steady appreciation Of Flour in the New
York market-for which several reasons are assigned
the most prov inent being the apprehension Of still
further depreciation of the currency, and the ex-
pected failure of the wheat crop Of this country and
probably also Of Europe-hss Of course hsd its infu
ence on this market, though by no means prcpOr.
onate, and quote choice gades at the close about
lOc higher than at our las review. very choice in
some instances having commanded q bettar figure
than this. TIE inquiry has been much larger than
the previous week, and the transactions foot up a
very handsome total. ths market closing firm and
buoyant with an upward tendency.
Wheat has not advanced in the same ratio a. Flour
either in this or the New York market. although
there has been reported scarcity in the latter du-
ring the week. and the receipts here at the close
considerably less than the demand We do not think
the market to-day will justify higher quotation
than 81 ssGl,sg for choice red wheat from store,
the latter extreme figure, though sales Of consid
cradle lots were effected above this range The
market closss active and strong, with an upward
tendency.
Corn has been rather quiet during the week. though
transactions have borne fair proportion to the
oeipts, which have been small. The market since
Tuesday has advanced gradually for both sheed and
ear, and note sale Of the former on track to-day
as high as sI,O4 This however, is a very extreme
figure, eLO2 being, we think, all the market win
command, though It is very firm at this figure.
Oats, Rye and Bsrley have been very dull and last
weeks prices are nominaly unchanged.
hara
sympathizng with WHISKY in New York and other
points, and daily advance has been noted from the
opening. To-day sses made at 81 O5 and 81 c6,
and this is probably as fair range as we can make
for the close, the market being very firm at the In
side figure. The inquiry has not been large, trans
actions being mostly small lots for immediate ne
cessities.
Pork products continue to have an active market
On Thursday Pork advanced Leo psr barrel, and
shoulders and clear bacon sides Kc per b. Hams
lard aud dried beef remain firm al last weeks quota
tions.
The Grocery market continues excited, and further
large advances are reported in sugars, coffee syrups
and molasses, while most other articles are higher
The stock Of sugar in New York is growing daily
smaller, the receipts falling far short o the de-
mand. The stock Of coffee there has been entirely
taken BY the Government, and dealers are unable to
I'LL the further demands from this source. The ten
dency of the market is strongly upward, and We
shall probably have to report still further advances
from day to day in all leading articles.
Whitefsh have advanced Csc per half barrel since
last weeks review, and are in active demand We
quote salt SC higher to-day. Other articles quoted
are generally hrmer.
