MARKET REPORT.

MONDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 0, 1872.
The general market Is quiet in nearly
all its branches. The Oats market shows
signs Of improving; the present demand
exceeds the supply; receipts are light and
prices are firm with an upward tendency.
Corn is Aat-no demand at all There is a
little better feeling in Flour. The demand
for choice Hay has fallen off and prices are
weaker--only choice "Gilt Edge" could
command 500 90 to-day, and anything
below prime mixed is unsuitable
Eggs are scarce and high; fresh found
ready sale to-day at isc. Choice Butter
is in active demand.
The stage Of water hence to New Or
leans is reported less than seven feet, and
no prospects Of rise. In consequence Of
this, steamboat men are asking higher
figures and there Is prospect of an early
advance over present rates of freight.
