MARKET REPORT.

quiet and some commodities are very dull
This is occasioned in part by the advance
in rates of freight TO New Orleans. The
order trade has been moderately good
during the week, and merchants have
little to complain of.
Flour holds firm, but the market is very
quiet and very little movement except in
order lots. Meal is unchanged. Hay and
Oats are dull.
The river is still falling and freights
are advancing. The weather is warm and
pleasant, but dry, and the streets are
excessively dusty.
p%Correspondents should bear in
mind that our quotations represent prices
for round lots from first hands, unless
otherw wise stated, and that in filing small
orders higher prices must be paid. -Da
