GENERAL MARKETS.

VI NA~-C L1BSAN -. AANANA1I1
business during the past week. Espe-
cially has this been the case on Front
street, from where, nearly every day dur
ing the week, heavy shipments of sup
plies to the interior were made. Receipts
of produce were amply sufficient to meet
the demand, and in some articles X
cessive. AppIes were in moderate re-
quest, and for choice an advance of soc
over our last weekly quotation was real
lied. Bran has been steady and prices
are unchanged. Bacon is firm and tc
higher. with a fair supply and demand;
sugar-cUred hams and breakfast bacon
are unchanged. Baggjag has shaded a
fraction in price, although other ma
kets are firm and jobbers decline to give
prices. Butter has been in better sup
ply, and while inferior is duh, choice
Western is hardly saleable in lots at
over 2Oc, a decline of &c. Receipts of
Corn have been liberal, but prices were
well maintained, sales to-day and
those of the week previous being at
about 1c lower. COTBmeGl is 5G1Oc
lower, sales made during the latter part
Of the week being at So 10. Coffee is q
shade tirmer, though not quotably high
er. Eggs were in moderate supply
only and prices advanced from 1I@12c
to l5Gl6c. Flour has undergone no
material change in price. New wheat
flour is dull and offerings liberal, while
old is held firmly at quotations, Fruit
of all kinds has been in abundant sup
ply, prices ranging as quoted below.
CGb6dges were scarce, with sales at 81
per 100 early in the week, but later the
receipts were large, causing a decline CT
SlG2. Soap, starch, candles and other
similar articles are unchanged. Hay
has been in fair supply, especially infe-
riOr and common. Choice, however, is
in better demand, and small consign-
ments would easily realize SIS so. Oats
were in excessive supply during the lat
ter part of the week, and prices declined
2G3c. Onions were scarce, and small
cOnsignments were sold at an advance
of 25CG50c per Dbl. Potatoes are in more
active demand, but small shipments are
being made, however, to other cities.
To-day 200 barrels were sent TO New Or
leans, that being the first lot sent since
the decline in prices there. Pork has
been in light demand, and sales during
the week reflected nothing new in the
way Of prices, mess selling at Sl4. Poal-
try was in moderate supply, and during
the latter part Of the week prices adj
vanced S18I 25 per dozen for young
chichens.
Quotations for feed are for round lots
on The landing unless otherwise oppressed.
