The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1865-12-29

The following elaborate view Of the Gin
cinnai markets is taken from the CONNER
cial:
Trade in general way during the past
week, so far as it pertsined to the heavier
branches Of commerce, and excepting pork
packing, has been rather spiritless. The
! sales OF Dry Goods have been mainly for
purposes OF renewing old stocks, and have
been quite limited in amount. notwitstsnd-
ing the improving course Of prices
The GrOcers have done but little IN the
way Of large sales, but in email Jo0blng
way have been rather actively engaged.
Prices OF staple Goods have changed but
little Hard refined Sugars sell at l95Se in
round lots, and 2OG301ke ia 8 small way.
Raw ranges at I3Gl6c for common 10 prime
Porto Rico.
Co Zee has been in fair demand, but prices
remain as they were, namely, 2s@30c in
large lots, and H9lc above these figures in
6 small way.
For prime Cheese there Is 8 market at 2lc
for Western Reserve, and pc for English
Diary, but for the ordinary samples the
market is heavy at Zoe
Glover Seed is rather active, with sales
to-day at s., in barrels.
The Flour market has remained as inani-
mate - ever throughout the week. The
old range Of prices has been continued,
feebly supported BY a moderate local de-
msnd. We repeat the figures Sc 1907 90
for superiine; 81 25@S 90 for extrs, and
80 90 Tor family, with iancy brands running
up 10 SO, and some even higher.
Wheat Of choice quality has been rsther
sparingly offered, and, although the de-
mand has been moderate, the advance noted
q week ago has been steadily adhered TO.
These figures were 81 for choice old Red,
81 % for prime, with g demand ct Sc under
these figures from local mIllers. New is
held at 81 7J@l so for prime to choice sam
plea, but these figures are scarcely realized.
Old white is scarce with ouly a moderate de-
mand. Normally 81 so Is asked for Ken
lucky, 81 4OG2 As for Ohio.
Corn having been in light receipt, has
been for several days firmly held, though
only with q moderate supporting demand,
aud the market was consequently inactive.
To-day the inquiry was improved; ear COM
manded 53c, and shelled 60c.
Oats have had only the local demand TO
govern them, and consequently no e asticity
IN marke.; 42c is now an outside figure for
them on the spot, and to be delivered ahead
they will hardly bring more thsn ACC.
Rye Of strictly Prime quality is scarce.
The market il dull, aud 15c an outside
figure for il, and zoe 10 1Se the trailing range
for such as is offered.
Barley Is nearly neglected; choice samples
have nominal quotations at 81 Is.
whisky has been in only moderate de-
mand during the week. From day TO day
the market has been made at 50 25, though
the bulk Of the sales have been at 81 %,
aud it is now dull at that.
Cotton has been in better position for sew
sral da S, and is now supported at 46a47c.
The Provision market was nerveless and
iusctive, until Fridays New York reports
IL fused il with little more animation. The
sales OF Mess Pork began on Friday st
$50 80 for new packed. On Saturday the
demand enlarged at S27, but was hardly re-
spouded 10 a. less than So 50. The inter
mission Of holiday finds the buyers will

Al less than SIS.
Bulk Meats, after being for some time meg
lected, received same attention to-day, and
were also out up, with quotations now at
IKE, I55lc, and lie, for Shoulders, Sides,
and clear Sides.
Green Shoulders and Sides have, fsr sew
