wheels OF business would reyolve much
quicker, and the large stocks OF cotton held
in Europe would run down fast.
GENERAL MARRET.
The weather is brilliant and markets are ac-
tive. If our money affairs werefeSS stI1n-
gent, we should haNe little TO complain. Of
outside the cotton market Corn Is an eXcep-
ton 70 the general lvelineSS; there is no de-
mand from the country, and prices drag with
much change. OdtS are in good request; an
attempt was made this morning 10 advance
the rate Ia zoe. but ii failed, and we still quote
Sc tor sound mixed oats. Hoy Is In supply
lar beyond any presents wants; there was
about 800 bales on the landing with 4 very
moderate demand: prices were about 81
weaker Bran is scarce, with a revivlng de-
mGad. and quotations advanced JUc. Corn
meal showed no activity, but II IS a little
stronger, and we now anOte il 81 20 on lend
ing. Flour remains steady and very firm,
with a fair amount Of business doing. Eggs
irregular; in answer TO our questions, they
were reported 10 Us all the way from p to Sc;
ii these reports really represented sales, egg
dealers ought TO meet and agree on some way
Of doing business on harmonious principles.
Chickens showed some irregularities, S3a4 %
appeared, however, to cover extremes for both
young and cid. Some young Ducks sold for
3 scot 90 per dozen, and a few Geese at S. %.
Apples were in active demand at some inn
prOvement. Potatoes are again higher; for
loose a. high as 81 50 a barrel is offered; in
shipping order, good potatoes were selling at
s. - a barrel. Onions are more active and
prices are a little higher. Cabbage was in fair
demand, with a plentiful suppl Peaches
were arriving plentifully in boxes, generally
containing something over a peck, and sell
ing al from 5Oc9Sl a box. Grapes were also in
fair receipt and selling from 586c a pound;
some very fine brought Sc. Bacon was buoy
ant almost to the point Of eXciUement; every
body had discovered a tremendous scarcity
and things went up as If the universal law Of
gravity were suspended or bacon had been

some claimed every fraction of I2r- Magg Pork
was also held higher, one holder proclaiming
that abe went the whole hog" on sixteen dol
lars or nothing. Lard was also advanced be
yond the last quotations by some buyers. The
St. Louis Democrat Of Sunday reports of the
markets therer "The river has declined TO a
pretty low stage, ana the departing boats can
only load to hve and a half feet for lower
river points. FreightS have been steadily
maintained, the barge line regulating the
rate. Were 10 not for the existence OF the
barge line, rates would undoubtedly be much
higher. Business on Change has been pretty
fair duringthe past week. Flour has stihened
IN puce clear through the entire catalogue OF
brands, and the demand for low grades has
QulcEeued. Choice has been held very nrm,
and the demand for the same has been good
an the week. Wheat has met with an active
and good market. All grades Of fall and OF
spring have been salable at good prices, mar
ket closing on saturday stin and upward.
The feeling in corn has not been very reas-
surfing. East track stock has hardly been
Salable at all, on account Of the steady dis
elimination against Us by the railway cOmbi-
nation. A fair demand for future corn has
existed, and for sacked lots on this side there
has been some demand and growing strength.
The market closed on Saturday quiet and un-
changed. Oats have sold quite freely for spot
and future, and the market closed on Satur-
day with increased strength. Hay has been
in large supply, and the market tina ruled
dull FOR anything but choice. There has been
but little alteration in provisions. Mes pork
has weakened and bacon strengthened" The /
