There was fair attendance on Change TO-
day, and moderately active set OF markets.,
advance in gold, and d firm market in Liver
pool, caused higher prices on those articles
which are the subjects of foreign exports, and
other markets were firm in sympathy
Highwines were quiet and steady at yestar-
days prices, with sales Of 175 brls, wood
bound, IN several lots, at st.09. There is little
inquiry, but offerings arc also Light.
Lake freights were very quiet, only three
charters being reported ut 7c for wheat from
Milwaukee to buffalo, equal to G31zc from Chi
cago; and 12c for wheat from Chicago to
Kingston. Corn nominally &c 1ess. There
are very few vessels in port now, but arrivals
arc expected to be more numerous in a few
days.
Provisions we're firm and quict, the demand
not being urgent, while holders Wero not of1er-
to be strong on the present, but no one seems
inclined to buy for future delivery, as stocks
are in tho hands Of fow holders, who can con-
troll the market to suit themselves; they have
enough; others are afraid to touch 1t. Lard
was quoted dull ut the East, and that did not
prompt great f1mness here. Meats were held
inn. Some operators profess to think that
the top of the market has been touched all
round. and the disposition in Cincinnati is re-
ported to be in the direction OF selling HhoH
rather than buying long. The market io-tlay
