branches, with no material change in
grain or hay. Flour has advanced since
last week and all grades are held % cents
higher with demand greatly in excess of
the supply. Oats were shaded little to-
day, but corn is firm and unchanged
Hay continues active at S2i to 20 for
good to choice timothy, and s22 to S2I for
mixed. Some difficulty has been expert
enccd in making shipments owing to the
heavy ice running out Of the rivera, but
that trouble is now in the past There is
an abundance Of water below, and present
indications point TO an excess of tonnage
and consequent reduction in the
freight tariff. Dressed hogs sold to-day at
5,@ Gc.-There is no game in the market,
The rain of last night and to-day has
carried away the snow and ice leaving
the levcc ina deplorable condition.

held without change, with the exception
of II small decline in sugars
