NEW YORK MARKET.
New YoRK, April 80, ]


The breadstufI market has been active and
strong all the week, at present, however. there
are symptoms OF weakness. The demand FOR
flour Is confined to the better grades for home |
use; export or low grades are not called for
Wheat is also unexportable. and there are grave |
doubts about prices being sustained after the
the quantity in canal shall have arrived and
lake shipments began. 4 fine sample OF white
Michigan sold two DAYS ago at S2l0. Con ia
heavy at 75c: oats continue actiye-55c for
Michigan. Dairy products are heavy Western
eggs IS &c do butter S@20c. Cheese declined |
TO l7@lSc: new is coming largely into use.-
Mess pork weak at the late advance-held at |

Groceries are active. Rio coffee is weak. the .
passage of the anti-duty act being regarded as
certain the range Is 170lSlGc. Sugar is more
firm coffee, lla1114c. The dry goods trade /
Is unsatisfactory and CONCESSIONS on prices are
offered Turpentine has declined TO 56"57c.
DETROIT MARKET.
DETROIT, May l, 1872.
In general merchandise we have to report a
fair and increasing trade. but almost no change
IN prices, during the week. In hardware the
only change Is an advance OF &c per ID. on bar
lead. Tin is still on the $3.50 rate and nails
on that OF 50 90. Cotton Is weak at the East,
and slight decline here is not unexpected
In dry goods there has been only moderate
trade done, and on nearly all the leading cot
ton staples fraction off is reported. Noolens,
including heavy cloths for fall make up, mold
their own. In paints and oils there is the usual
spring activity. Pants are steady in price and
linseed oil firm. Lard oil, turpentine and kero-
sene, on the contrary, are in the buyers favor.
/ The produce houses are generally working
iull forces. Green apples may be considered
done with-nominal at S3@i per bbl. dried do
are firm at lie per Id. Beans are higher, 6rm-
er and in better demand. Prime city pickle
would command $3.50 per bu. Country picked,

is getting more plenty: there 10 no outside de-
mand. New grass, 25@26c old firkin Is dull
at 7@10c. Eggs are 1880, but tending upward.
