OF the general market, Saturdays st.
Louis Republican says;
There was less strength to the specu-
latiye movement in breadstuffs yester-
dav than the day before, although prices
were better sustained. Through advices
of an advance in -four st New Orleans
from the order trade, -four here was de-
cidedly stronger and an advance of 10
to l5c was established upon medium
winters, while at the close holders were
asking a still further advance. Low
grades were frmer, some holders with
drawing offers to ship East, where prices /
rule above New Orleans quotations. |
Wheat advanced about &c on all quail |
ties. but prices we're more irregular than |
the day before, and at the close were |
weak at the advance The receipts of |
corn we're larger, and there. was an &C. |
tive demand for new at full prices. Old |
was weaker under the better receipts of /
new. but prices were well maintained. |
Oats we're in active request throughout |
Change hours, and closed higher. High |
wines were held more stiffly, but prices I
we're unchanged. Hay was in active |
demand at full prices. In provisions,
the movement was confined exclusively |
10 pork and bulk meats, the supply of |
bacon being entirely exhausted. The
market opened dull, and declined
throughout, with free sellers Of mess pork
for Monday delivery at $2l, ami with an
average deelineof &c en- dry salted meats.
This decline, however, is not as great as
the depression in values of hogs noted in
our live stock review, and are indicative
Of A more near equalization Of values.
