MARKETS.

GENERAL MARKETS.
There were no arrivals of interest by
the river, and the general demand was
very slight; consequently business was
not active. Corn is very little called for
and holders are in disgust at the length
Of time their stocks hang on hand; con-
sessions are freely made to effect sales,
and quotations are lower this morning
than yesterday, as viii be seen by our
quotations in the table below; yellow
was offering as low as 54e. Oats were
dull at 35d Sic. Some straw was selling
at so, wholesale. Hay, Western is
scarce with a moderate demand; a lot of
choice new timothy brought ST; some
inferior was sOldat SIC. A sale Of Bran
was made at SIS 80, which is the outside
rates. COTugHedE was in purgatOry; a lot
was sold last evening at the mornings
quotation, - 10, but to-day $ was the
highest rate that could be obtained;
dealers attribute the change to the "cUt-
ting UNDER in flour, which has caused
that commodity to "cut into" corn
meal. Flour drags heavily and is forced
extensively on the market rendering
quotations Of little value. Butter is in
poor demand in proportion to the supply,
and prices are low. Eggs, though in
no great supply, were lower, quoting, at
the Outside 1Sc. G~5cEeHSare scarce and
active, fully maintaining existing quo
satiOns. Peaches are aTTivingin abund-
ance, a good article ear be had at 50 per
bushel, in boxes; peach boxes sell from
SOC to 75c, according 70 quality. Other
fruits, and also vegetables, exhibit no
noticeable changes from yesterday. We

con, and call attention to the increase IN
