MKNPH1s. TRNs.. July 10. 1871. J

The week just passed has shown some
improvement in the hardware and dry
goods trades, but in the others no change
is reported either in the volume Of bust
ness done or in prices. In the general
market business has been fully as actiye
as during the previous week, but from
appearances is gradually falling off.
Except an advance in sugars, coffee and
meats, there has been no material change
in prices. Grain and feed is shade
firmer and corn and oats higher; early
in the week corn was slow at re for
choice, but to-day there is fair demand,
with sales at 73c, which was the ruling
price on Saturday. Oats that during the
early part of the week we're dull at 63c,
are in active request to-day at Csc, with
none offering. Bran was quiet until
Saturday, when the demand improved
some, and to-day one consignment was
offered at S22 Hay has been in mode
rate supply until today, when there is
but little in the market; prices range
from SIS to $24, as to quality. Corn
meal was weak at the opening, but soon
recovered and remained steady at So 30.
Flour was dull at the opening and prices
declined to SO so for common grades;
the feeling to-day is better, however, and
the market may be quoted steady. Pro-
visions are steady, and have advanced
fully 75c per barrel on mess pork and &c
on clear meats; clear sides are firm at
9ic cash; clear rib, 9lc; shoulders, 7lc;
mess pork, SIG so to ST.. Lard is firm
at Iii to llac for tierce and l2f to lac
for keg. Candles, soap, starch, ETC., are
steady and unchanged. Eggs are dull
at l2c. Butter is firm at 22c for fresh
New potatoes are in demand for ship
ment at 50 10 to 50. Apples are taken
at 81 so to 2 so loose from wagon, the
latter being the extreme price paid for
extra choice. Poultry is steadier at So
to 3 so for young and "a to 4 so for old
chickens and 81 for ducks. Sugars have
advanced fully to &c for Louisiana and
&c on refined crushed and coffee since
our last review, and to-day are held
firmly, with good demand for Louisi-
ana common to prime and but limited
supply. Coffee is firm and a shade
higher.
