The session Of the National Board Of Trade,
in New York, which convenes to-day, is the fifth
of the series. The preceding sessions have been
held in Cincinnati, Richmond, Buffalo, and st.
Louis. It is thought probable TINT the next an
nua1 gathering will be held in Chicago. The
delegates appointed to attend the present ses-
sion, On behalf Of our Board of Trade, are Geo.
Ii. Howe, Alex. Murison, N. Z. Fairbank, s. H.
McCrea, 4. II. Wright, and G. J. Davis. AL
but the two last named are in attendance on the
Convention to-day.
There WAS less activity to-day than usual in
the produce markets, and they were generally
. aaier, the exceptions to former prices being
few; while yet there WAS no great weakness,
except in wheat. The receipts were rather more
liberal than the average and freights On the
tended to repress the ardor OF shippers,
though 1t is now notfar from the close OF navi5a-
tion. It ia not considered probable that any
vessel yet to leave this port will make more than
two trips to Buffalo, and the probabilities are
that the second trip will not be return, as the
late experiences Of last season were very dis
asterous to the shipping interest," and the vessel
owners may not be inclined to risk repetition
At the same time it should be remembered that
high remuneration tempts to the assumption Of
big risks, and our vessels may ply far into the
winter. The grocery trade WIS fairly active,
with no appreciable change in values. There is
still some difficulty in filing orders for sugars,
the supply continuing very light: but otherwise
are moving on 9 liberal SCALE and both cotton
and woonen textiles are firmly held at former
quotations. The butter trade WAS reported active,
with prices unchanged, the prevalent feeling
patby With New York and liverpool. New
York factory is now quoted at 15@15}ac, and
Western at 13@14c. No new features we're
developed in the fish market. Stocks Of
most descriptions are extremely Light,
Dried fruits remain dull. Hides we're weak and
unsettled, but without decided change in values.
Hay continues active and prices we're firm at
Saturdays range. In the oil market there
seemed to be an easier feeling, and carbon, lard,
rates being 2719@2sc for carbon; s5@67c for
raw linseed, and 75c for No. i lard. The trade
in lumber was fair to-day, previous prices being
generally well sustained. Building materials
are active and prices firmer The recent cd
vance in common brick is maintained. The ill.,
quiry for cooperage continues light, with prices
shade irmer. Broom corn is quiet, prices are
firm, choice green hurl being scarce and ruling
higher. Iron, the metals, and nails are active;
there are no changes to note to-day. Seeds
were in small request timothy ranging from
92.50@290, clover, 95.20@5.25, mammoth, S5.4D,
flag, 51.50@1.55. Potatoes we're very dull in
mixed lots; peachblows are in good request,
and sold at soc on track. Apples move slowly;

on Saturday, and for good fresh chickens there
is agood demand. Eggs continue scarce; prices
are hrm at 24@26c. Game sells readily at fair
prices.

Lake freigQts we're moderately active, and dur

and 29111c on corn by sail to Kingston: a total
Of II charters WAS reported, Which WILL carry out
!03, 600 bu wheat, and Iii, 900 bu corn.
Provisions were quiet and rather Irregular.
Mess pork vas firmly held at s14.50 by the par
ties controlling it, but there were few buyers at
over $14.00. Pork for future delivery was
somewhat fir1ner. Lard was quoted weak, there
being more sellers to-day at Saturdays quota
tions. Green meats were steady. English
meats for future delivery we're quoted easier;
there VAS no reduction in asking prices, but BIDS
