The general markets to-day ruled exceedingly
dat and heavy. The news Of panic raging IN
New York tended greatly to lower the v1cws o'
operators, mud gold coming in at decltue, dc.
rreciated prices still farther. Among the holders
o: produce and proyislons thera is a very despoa-
dent feeling, and considerable uneastness pre-,
va1ls-mo1e especially as the bankers arc pressing
hard for additional margins.
The Provision murket ruled fiat and lower. The
ncwa from New York that a1css Pork had 1al1en to
$e5.s0, depressed prices here, and 1t YVES offered
freely at &25.60, without buyers. Prime Ness
Pork WIS very dull. and nomins1ly 800 lower,
with sales OF a1o br1s at Stockholders offering
to sell at The close at $s403. Sweet Picked Hams
were dull at 15c, and Bulk Shoulders we're offered
at 13c, without buyers. Lard was oGarea at 17D
17ic, but there was no demand.
AIghw1nes were dull aud heavy at decline OF
&c per gal. with sales Of 100 nrls at 81 DC losing
very weak with NO disposition On the part Of
operators to purchase at that figure.
The Flour market Is still in state Of t.master-
" lnacttrfty,"- well assisted by the decline In
gold. There was some speculative inquiry to-
day for Spring Extras at further concession Of
60G1oc per br1, but holders prefer taking their
chances. The transactions are entirely confined
to email lots for the city trade. We note sa1ss OF
