Two cargoes of produce are expected
hourly, and will in all probability reduce
the price of grain and feed and veget-
ables, but 10 what extent cannot be
safely predicted. The stock of grain is
not large and the steamer from the Ohio
river may not do more than to supply
the demand, while the stock Of veget-
ables is light, ard were it not that con-
signments will be drawn against neees-
stating their being placed upon the
market, the prices Of such articles as
potatoes. butter, eggs. etc, would I'M
doubtedly advance. There are few
