Commenting On the unusual fact that the av-
erage rate by lake was higher than that OF past
AdUertiser concludes = that the capacity OF the
Erie Canal to do the business seeking transport
by that route is greater than tho capacity Of
the lake hoat to do the business seeking
water transportation to tho East. In view
papers to ba continually finding fault with
The Erie Canal The fact that tho Western
shippers have been compelled TO pay heavy lako
freights this year is certainly not chargeable to
the canal. Shippers had better despatch than
ever before for their property by canal and at
as cheap rates rs oyor.

CHEESE-No new featura was developed in connec-
tlon with this market. Little improvement WAS
noticeable in tho demand, and, if We except prime
New York factory, which Ia being held with aome
show Of hEmneEs, the market is weak, fair orders be-
ing freely allied ut concession. The Anerican Grocer
saya OF the New York naaTket: !" The market contu-
ues very dull and prices somewhat in buyers favor
although holders refuse, general thing, TO grant
any concessions. In consequence, wa repeat our
quotations. This state Of affairs is not nexpected
Commission merchants here hare foreseen 1t, and
warned farmers in the interior that they carrying
the holding-back policy too far, and that by keeping
prices so high they Ware cutting themselves out Of at
least two onths' consumption, and that before tho
quantities yet to come forward ba sold, lower
prices must rule and that the decline will be in pro-
portion to the length Of time cheese is held hack IN tho
country to sustain prices here" We quote: New

The leading produce markets were rather slow
to-day, With no material changes in quotations,
except in wheat. There was not animation in
many Of the markets to give variation in
price, but offerings were not large, hence stcadi-
ness. Our receipts Of the leading cereals were
larger than had been generally expected, but
the shipments OF wheat and oats were also lar
ger than the average, corn ouly showing small
shipping movement. The grocery market exhib-
tied slightly increased activity, and trmer tone.
Orders from local retailers as we'll as from in-
terror dealers we're more liberal, and the agGre-
gate OF sales vas probably larger than on any OF
the half dozen preceding days Of the week.
Changes in prices we're confined to m 80 I'D
vance in rio coffees. and an 10 in patent cut,
md crushed and powdered sugars, and
&c IN diamond drip syrups. Rice,
soaps, and spices rule steady. Teas we're quiet,
with prices generally weak, the exceptions be-
ing choice green's and blacks. The dry goods
market continues reasonably active, and firm
ness still prevails in all departments. No change
WAS reported in the butter market, q good local
and outside demand existing at full former
rates. Cheese continues dull and weak There
was good demand for coal, and the market was
asain strong at $12.00 for Lackawanna; 910.5o
@l1. 90 for Erie, and at S7.00 for Wilmington.

CATTLE-There was more doing in the way
OF GALES than on the preceding days Of the week,
both local and outside buyers operating With
moro freedom, but this was the result Of the
easier feeling evincod by holders, and was not
due to any real increase in the demand. The re-
ports from New York, Albany, Buffalo and other
Eastern points we're gloomy enough, prices rnl-
ing from &c to Ac lower all around, while
trade was quoted dull at the reduction. Conse-
quently shippers would not invest savo at fur
ther concession Of 12119@25c per 100 TBS, and to
thja reduction sellers were compelled to submit.
This makes the Decline since Saturday, fully
371%{D50c on tho different grades Of shipping
cattle, the decline being more severe in medium
to good grades than in choice md extra the
lights supply Of the hitter helping to sustain prices.
Butchers stuff and stockers sold at &bout last
weeks prices, the former meeting with sons
inquiry at s2.oo@s75, and the latter selling to
was the best no have had for many days, the re-
ceipts OF thin COWS and Bealawag steers and
Texas cattle being noticeably small, in compare
son with the number received during the past
dozen days or more. The supply Of those de-
scnptions, however, excluded the demand, not
all finding buyers low as prices were. The most
important sale Of the day was SO head Of Christ
mas steers, Averaging 1,840 lbs, at S7.25. They
wero fed by F. II. Funk Of Mclean County,
r., and we're purchased BY Z xod Nelsqa ,P;
was taken by city butcher 1Sheibel l. Son) at
