Cotton remains without ehsuge, the prices
being from 81 to 3Sc.-the latter only Tor ex-
ira quality.
The produce market, owing to the warm
weather, has been firm but now that a cold
snap has set IN, and packing can commence
agaiu in earnest in the North, we shall look
for weaker market, and perhaps a mate
rial decline in prices.
Produce remains rs heretofore quoted.
The Cincinnati Gazette says:
Three Chicago grain dealers failed to-day, |
owing 20 the .ate heavy decline in prices. |
Particulars are given in our dispatches.
The markets to-day were uniayorably |
affected by the news from New York and /
Chicago. Flour declined lO@l5c per bTl IN /
New York. aud that increased the depres |
sion in this market and prices are unsettled. |
Wheat was also doll and unsettled, with |
very little demand. Corn remains steady /
with a fair demand from distlllers. Oals |
are lac lower. Rye is dull and the de- /
cline 10 T5077c fully established. Barley /
remains inactive. The wheat in store at |
Milwaukee,, Dec. /, was 397 ,40s bushels, eN-
ceeding the receipts Of any year since 1855 |
Cotton was dull in this market Small sales
were made on the basis OF 44c for middling.

in the rivers will probably let out the coal
boats at Pittsburg. From the Pittsburg
Commercial Of yesterday, We learn that
light draft barges only will be able to get
cut, of which there are forty nine, with
eight twO-bOats, destined for Cincinnati,
containing ASS ,OO0 bushels of coal, and nine
tow boats, with filty-fiye barges, for Louis
vile, containing 574, 900 bushels. A dis
patch jusE received gives the welcome intel
ngence that they have lett. Besides these
there are twelve mammoth tOw-bOats wait

PHtsburg, ready for shipment, Is 100000
bushels. Provisions were very quiet to
day; there was not much demand Tor ness
