From the St. Louis Republican we take the fol-
lowing report of the market on Thursday
The markets were generally quiet to-day, not
| withstandng the receipts OF produce continue
| fair for the season. The demand for -four was
limited the better grades being the only descrip-
tons salable; the old brands are not wanted at
any price. The wheat market was extremely dull
for all qualities below strictly prime and choice
and for these fair prices were realized. Corn was
heavy at material decline on all descriptions
Yellow and mixed sold as low as SAC. in ne sacks,
and s5c. and $50. for prime white, and soc. for
extra choice St. Charles white. Oats were in
large receipt, and the market was active but prices
were lower Whisky took an upward turn and
sales were made at the close at 50 20 % gallon.
| Freights to the East by rail were advanced loo.
| % bbl. on flour to day which caused much dissat-
isiacton on the part Of shippers, they having had
no previous intimaion of the change, and in seve-
raj instances large purchases had been made under
the belief that the rates would remain stationary
