There vas but little doing in produce circles
to-day, except in wheat, which was in demand.
Other han thai, the inquiry was light all round,
Us fcn' people cured to trade till after the holi-
days are Sv"-, without some special reason-and
not Eaany Of those were presented. One mo1e
day and we shall have Gcen the last of tie old
year, with ltd numerous corners that have al
ready passed into history, it's warehouse swim
dies and freight e1tortions. Will the next show
any improvement, or simply ncw phases Of ras-
ca!ity, as bad as old ones? Our receipts wero
rather light to-day, except in corn; they will un-
doubted1y increase in volume after the holidays.
Tho grocery trade continues inactive, with prices
steady and unchanged. A few mail orders wero
placed, but aside from this the demand was in
considerable. Dry goods remain dull at about
former rates, tue market ruling firm for all
staple and se2sonnble fabrics. In the butter
and cheese market, no changes were Developed.
For the former Ett.-!e there sTas 3 fairly active
demand at full prices, but for the latter only
limited inquiry existed. Coal was moro quiet,
but otherwise the market was without visible
change. The fish trade continues dull, with
prices nominal. Dried fruits were moving to
fair extent at about former quotations. The
hay market was weak. owing to lack Of ship
to pay over $1C.0o@l7,00 for boater pressed,
and @15.50@ 1850 for loose do. Hides and
leather remain firm. Oils we're quoted dull,
with no change in prices, save for carbon, which
was offering at 251 }@26c . 10 decline. Paints,
colors, tobacco, and wood ruled quiet st former
quotations. Lumber was quiet and unchanged.
Brick, limo. cement, &c, wero in light demand
at previous prices Metals and timers stock,
iron and steel, mills, &C.: were quiet and steady.
Tin plate is qnite firm. Prices have advanced in
New York, and there will probably be an advance
here after Now Years Day. Salt was in fair de-
nland and firm. Wool VAS quiet and unchanged.
There was fair inquiry for the higher grades OF
large supply. Hops we're in moderate demand
mud firm. With the exception Of 4 fair inquiry
ior clover, seeds We're quiet and unchanged
prime timothy is held at 1926, and fair to good
seed at S3,oD93.15; clover vas steady at $500
@5.25. There was fair local demand for poul-
try this morning, and turkeys were q tri1e
frnler, the supply being rather light. Game
was plenty, and IN moderate request prices
were irregular, quotable at S3.75@34.60 for
ouail. Eggs we're firm at 28@30c for fresh.
Green fruits we're in moderate request at former
prices. Potatoes were in the ugual demand and
unchanged.
Highwines woro more active, but weak, de-
clininG }5c from Saturdays selling price, and
closing dull at the inside, though reported quiet,
with none offered, in New York. Sales were re-
ported of $50 brls at 9oc per gallon, and 100 brls
at $3.50.

outside range Of Saturday, being in rather light
supply. Shippers were not anxious, only one
being on the market, but holders generally re-
scryed their offerings, in hope OF obtaining
higher prices. Sales were confined to 274 head
at 81 40 per 100 l',s, and ut Sl.35. Tho market
closed firm at S4,40.
provisi""~ "ero dull, and generally quoted
easier, tb there was scarcely enough said or
done to establish list Of quotations that can
be depended upon. Live hogs woro reported un-
changed with rather light receipts, but opera-
tors were generally inclined to regard that fact
as simply m incident Of holiday week, which is
now nearly over, aud to be followed by rush Of
| supplies. Consequently buyers held off to see
| what will be the upetot, especially as they can
| not hope to ship anything moro during 1872.
| Hence there WAS littio or no demand, even for
| options Us parties having deliveries to make on
seller January have tho whole Of next month 1T
| their command to ill in while 4 few parties
| who have pork coming to them wanted to sell, IN
| order to avoid The necessity of paving on Thurs
day. Hence atinge Of weakness in pork, though
with no quotablo decline. Meats wero steady.

of prices: Mess pork-old, $11.25@1l.5u; now

Flour was very quiet, bat strong. The fac. Of
/ light receipts and further rise in wheat caused
| holders generally to ask an advance, ranging
from 10c to csc per brl, but as there WAS no de-
lnand of consequence: at any price, tho market
can scarcely be quoted higher; aud some dealers
would willingly have sold at Saturdays prices if
requested to do go. Buckwheat flour was firm,
End bran in good demand Sales wero reported

Total, 1887 brls. Also. 80 tons bran at Sl1.o 90,

Wheat was active, and averaged 1c higher,
owing to several causes; The leading cause vas
extensively on the bear eide, and sought to break
the market on Saturday by heavy offerings, but
| found that it would not 60 down and that he had
to go up. The announcement of his failure
caused rush to cover on the part OF those who
hna bought for him against sales elsewhere.
fhon this demand had been supplied there WAS
luu and slight decline, but it coon rallied, aa
