ROsIN-Slnce the close OF our last review the
market for this article has generally ruled quiet,
and prices are lower. For the finer qualities the
demand has been limited, and the sales have
been limited few lots of neU crop Pale anC
tations given below it will be seen that the mar
ket has opened at very low figures compared with
those of last year. For the lower grades there
has been some little enquiry at lower figures
which factors do not seem disposed to accept al
present, and only few lots have changed hands
Receipts are very small, and there is no stock OF
consequence on market. We quote sales as fol
lows: Friday, 16 bbls. at 81 25 for Pale; Monday,
600 bbis. at 81 SIS for strained, and 50 for No.
Tuesday, 245 bbs. at 81 SO for strained, SO G25
for low Pale, and 81 rs for Pale; Wednesday, 53G

BEEF CATTLE-None of consequence have been
brought in for few weeks, and the stock on
market is barely sufficient to meet present wants.
There is good demand for butchering purpO-
ses, and receipts would readily command high
prices. We quote on the hoof at figures rang
ing from IL to IA cents y ID. net.
Corn MEAL-Msrket fully supplied, and de-
mand moderate. Sales are being made from the
mills at 81 1891 20 u bushel, in quantities as

CorToN-At the opening of the market on Fri
day last there was fair enquiry for this article
and parcels when offered found ready purchasere
This demand continued during Saturday, closing
quite steady at q basis OF 20 cents for middling
since Monday, however, the advices have been
less favorable, showing decline abroad and
buyers unwilling to operate unless at lower
figures, which factors r fuse to accept at pros
emit. We therefore quote the market as cIo.iup
inactive, with light stock Offering The sales
are only 81 bales, as follows: at IA, + at Is, &
