branches, and opens to-day with greater
activity than has been noticed for several
weeks. Provisions, Grisn and Feed and
Groceries have been the leading features
in the general market, and more activity
has been noticed in Grain and Feed than
other articles of produce. Corn during
he early part of the week was dull, prices
ranging from SO to zoe, and closing quiet
at about the same price. Without any
maUer1slhuctuatiOns the supply has fallen
on, and although receipts were fair, very
little was held, except by dealers, who
were selling at 72c, from the levs5, for
choice white shelled. Sales on Change
were rs sacks mixed In burlaps, at zoe.
Oats have been in light supply all the
week and prices have gradually advanced
here as we'll as in other markets, until to-
dey, when the only sales reported were
from store at 6Sc, the greater portion of
the stock is also hsld by dealers. In bran
a fair business Was done during the early
portion Of the week at SIS 90; the supply,
however, was greatly reduced before the
close of the week, and to day there is
barely sufficient on hand to supply the
city trade; sales, to-day, were 100 sacks
at S2B, and one car load do, at &26. Hay
has been quiet during the week and re-
celpts gradually increasing, until to-day
when prices were a shade lower; among
Che sales reported were 90 bales choice, az

COrnmesl was in fair supply during the
early part Of the week, and sold
as low as s. 05(G3 10, but advanced
as the supply was diminished and was
sold on Saturday and to-day at s. 20; so
barrels we're reported in II lot at thaJ
price to-day, and several other smaller
sales were made at the same price. In
provisions there are no marked changes;
prices huctusted a trife during the early
part Of the week, and mess pork was sold
as low Is SIS %, with an exceptional sale
reported at sI8, and of bacon clear sides
sales were named at sH@9Zc; later, how
ever, and in sympathy with other mar
kets, our market advanced a shade, and
to-day mess pork would be hard to nnu 81
less than $40, Notwithstanding the rs
ported sale OF 20 bbls at $lS 70. is held
firmly at l0C from store for clear Sides, n
INC for shoulders, and cannot, perhaps,
be purchased at less than that, even
in lots. Bulk meats are extremely ul
and prices nOminally unchanged. Lard
has been steady during the week, and
opens to-day at the prices quoted IN our
last weekly review. Groceries have been
quiet and without change, except in
sugars, upon which an advance OF from 1
to DC on aIl.grades Is noticed in this as
well as other markets. Sales during the
week we're about 800 barrels, TO arrive, at
I4zc for hard refined, Coffee is steady,
anG although prices are firm with an up
ward tendency, there has been no adj
vance. Potatoes we're in moderate demsud
during the early portion Of the week and
later the supply was nearly exhausted,
when prices went up from so to 75G per
barrel, closing steady on Saturday
st 50 25G3 40, and opening steady
at So % for old pescholows. New
potatoes were quiet, and have declined
from 81 to s. 5OCQ$6 per barrel. New on
ions have been IN moderate demand, and
opened to-day at 50 so, which is a decline
Of 81 90 from the price 8 week since. Cab
bags were in active request during the
week, but with the exception OF a lew
crates from the South, none have been re-
csiYed, and the market mas been almost
bare. Sales to-day are reported at $50 per
