For the week ending Saturday, April 2.
nORFING LEADER OTFIOE,

The market for the week ending with to-day
opened dull aud heavy, Influenced by the unsettled
condition OF things East growing out Of the de-
cline in gold. but about the middle Of the week
better feeling obtained particularly for Brssdstus
and the market closes to-day Quie active for wheat
and sheled corn, the latter at advance OF lac
over the opening quot stions OF the week. Other
grains however, have not shared IN this increased
inquiry and note but very few sales Of oats and
barley, while rye has been totally neglected. Flour
has been in fair demand for the home and interior
trade, at unchanged prices. In pork products the
market has been fairly active, the advance reported
at the beginning Of the week being fully maintained,
Highwines have been somewhat excited during the
week having opened at a4a95c advancing steadily to
&C. at which igue they close very firm The inquiry
has not been large. In butter and cheese there has
been a quiet market, owing to the lisht supply OF
prime, and operations have been mainly In small
for the retail trade choice grades Of the former
commading s6a36c, and the latter lal5e. Eggs are
i'll fair inquiry by the retail trade at Sc Dried Ap-
pies and Peaches have beln in good request at last
weeks quotations, selling chiefly at outside fgHres.
The market for Groceries Of all kinds Is excited and
goods are held with g;eat frmness Sugars Partieu-
larry hsve sdvanced largely and are likely to go still
higher than the present extraordinary figures. The
stock in New York has never been so reduced Is
now, the number Of hogsheads on hand March 81 be-
ing only s with receipts for the w6ek TO that date
Of but 25 hOgshesds, and sales Of 772s hogsheads

7O2 hogshs ads ard in ls63 1870 hogsheads. Wooden
Ware has further advanced. and the market is act
i've. Oils are better, and 10 fair inquiry. The de-
mand for wbitefish bas been quite setive, and the
market is firm at our quotations.

Pork-The market has ruled active and nrm at
the advance reported Monday, viz a230O for city
mess, and s25 90 for do clear. There is an opinion
among some dealers that the pric Of Pork and pork
produc will mTthsr appreciate, while on the other
hand there are who hod that although the pres
ent figures viii doubtless be maintained. there viii
be no further advance. So far able to judge
we are inclined to the former opinion, believing
there will be largely increased demand over past
years, while the supply is considerably less. An
abundant corn crop this year, however, will doubt
less reduce the next seasons yi5d Of pork consider
ably below present figures.
