! 600 bu; it will receive grain from the Alton &

having nothing to do with any combination.
| The hearing Of the case Of Munn g. Scott, be-
Trade, On motion to expel, commenced this
afternoon. The hearing may occupy the spare
time OF the Directors for several days to come.
| The leading produce markets were dull to-day,
| vet a moderate amount of business WIS trans
acted. The general tendency was to g lower
range in prices, but no marked decline YRS
noted, as holders we're not free sellers. The re-
cepts Of produce are liberal, and the shipping
movement BY water is nearly over for this year.

The marAet for groceries, though somewhat

ception Of cotfees, and ono or two OTHER articles,

and buoyant. No change WAS reported IA the
butter market The better qualities met With
reasonably active inquiry, and were held with
frmness, while low grades we're more or less neg
I lected. Cheese remains dull and easy. Coal
was drmer The hay market vas poorly sup

Lake freights we're al but inactive The cold
snap made owners of sail vessels unwilling to
send them out, and very Little steam room was
offered. On5 propeller engaged to take part
cargo of wheat to Buffalo On terms not named.
That vas all. It is useless to attempt to quote
rates. Shipments by lake, if made at all, will in
future be made on special terms.
Provisions were moderately active, with q ten
dency to weakness, but With less decline in
prices than might have been expected, as the
receipts Of hogs we're again large. and they we're
quoted lower IN consequence. Buyers held of
go long, pending the existence OF the packerma' r.
combination, that they are now obliged to fill
many Of their orders or let them slide and this,
probably, is what prevents a further decline IN
product, which. tie packers say, has already
been discounted further than tho price Of hogs
would warrant 1T is believed that tho low quo
tations now ruling On English meats have drawn
out large orders from Europe, but that the
brokers' are limited, and are acting very cautious
", 30 RS not to influence the market by an ap-
parent anxiety to purchase. When quotations
suit their Instructions they will probably make
q big swoop and give us to report some
Of the heaviest transactions that have
ever been known in this market. Thinking this
to he the case. the holders of product are not II
. hurry, especially as many Of them have al
ready sold considerably ahead, and they think
the chances are at least even for & stlffening in
hog quotations when the winter supply and
demand have settled down to steady relation to
each other. It vas whispered to-day that t. eo:u' or
orders have been withdrawn, and cent 10 linen
