The influences were decidedly unpropitious
to-day. The weather was dull and gloomy,
With q persistent drizzling rain; between nine
and ten O'Clock in the morning a fog settled
down, and brought on a near approach to
darkness. Not q boat came in, and the leves
was nearly bare. In short, IL was dull wealth
er. and business was as dull as the weather.
Feed Of all kinds was sJsgnant. The demand
for corn has largely fallen on, the rate in New
Orleans being relatively lower than in this
city, New Orleans quoting white corn at T6e.
But little was Offering here from second
hands, and that little excited no attention
and promised but slight profits. The ST Joe
steamboat passed down yesterday with corn

Lae lot. There is but a small supply OF hay in
the city; good quality Is especially scarce; a
suppl ofIlIinois prime is LOOKED for this eve
ming which tends TO keep prices within
bonds. COrnmeal was stronger, and a better |
figure could be obtained than on yesterday.
First quality butter would command almost
any price bat it is not 70 be had. Some of
our butter holders look for an tmpOr- |
tant auvance with confidence, baslng their
views upon the long ana narhn winter we
have gone through having caused the COWS TO
fail. This must certainly be the case so far as
winter IS co~Dcerned, tut the grass will be
springing very soon, and the arrivals Of a
choice spring article viii act as a check on
mere winter influences. Eggs are heavy, the
stock is large, and much of Il cost the holders

is by nO means equal TO that which Is custom
any In the North, and those who specuiated
or shipped, with 4 view gothe Easter demand,
overdld the business. Poultry is not in large
supply, and pfices are nrms some guinea
fowls were among the receipts to-day. Pota-
toes were quiet, but peschblows are nrm. The
