Prom the Republican Of the l6th.]
The week closes on duilstateo Of things in the
produce markets, and there is only a moderate bu-
siness doing in -four and grain. The unwilling
ness of the brokers to make advances on grain TO
be sold here, when the object Is simply to specu
late, has the effect to depress prices. The money
market is close but notlaetualiy stringent. -
