We are still compelled to notice q dull
actions we're reported. Government took

Owing to the decline In gold, the wheat
market ruled dull and Aalc lower. About
IS. 900 bushels changed hands, at 81 50 for
Chi. extra. and 81 43!a1 Al for No i sprin

The inquiry for corn was light, and the
market was quiet and q shade easier, with
sales Of I, 400 bus. rejected at SOC delivered,
and 76a764c in store.
Oats were more active, aud owing to the
favorable news from New York the mar
ket Was irmer, Closing fully &c better than
on Yesterday. The sales foot up q, 900 bus

ure.
Rye was quiet, and lac lower With
sales at 3l.01 tor No. in store, and CSC for
Barley was more active, with sales at g..
4S for old No. 2, $l.3O FOR new No. 2, North
Side, and $40 for sample lots.
The Grocery market Is not characterized
with much activity, and owing to the de-
Cline IN gold, is less firm. We omit the
outside figures given in our quotations Of
Cattle were dull with 10 very limited re-
ceipt ofgood Cattle, which were in fair de-
mand at good agures. Prices ranged from
ta.l2s for Light Cows to $3.50 for prime
mostly at S4.lV to $500 for coarse to fair.
Extra Cattle axe shade better.
Hogs were quiet owing to the Light re-
ceipts, but there was good demand for
heavy Hogs. Prices are about tho same

The pleasant winter weather we have
had for several weeks terminated yester.
day in steady rainy day, and everything
just now indicates spell Of mud.
The ice bridge still continues solid, aud
teams are crossing to-day as Usual. The
ice is ofunusuai thickness; even with warm
weather it will be several days before It
will break CT.
The receipts Of grain are now very light,
and quotations nominal. Spring wheat
would sell for 81 20 to 81 30: winter 81 40 to
u so; rye &c: oats 43c; hay ZIG. Themar-
ket for hide. is dall, and we reduce our
quotations.
There is but little produce of any kind

The leading lines Of railroads have put up
their tariff so high that it amounts to pro.
hibition. Fourth class rates from Bur.
linston TO New York are now 500 per 100
lbs, and Is % per bbl on -four, and are cor
respondingsy a!sh from ether points. The
great bulk Of the packing At Chicago OF
10000 hogs still remains there. and doubt
less will until the opening Of Lake nav;ga-
tlon, unless tho railroads should in the
meantime lowe. taeir rates to point that
will induce holders to send their stuff for
ward.
The holding Of such large amounts g.
produce al Cincinnati, ST. Louis, Chicago
and other points has brought about very
stringent sncney market, aud rates Of in
terest are liSh, even to those that are able
to raise the needful at all. In Chicago the
street rates are quoted at 2 to q per cent .
