THE MARKETS..
The 1ending produce maEkota wore again dull,
to-day, and grain was weak, though stoatlior,
with comparatively small changes in prices from
tho range Of yesterday. Tho movement was
almost wholly speculative, In grain. Provisions
we're agai1n, stronger. Our receipts Of produce
though they are slightly on the incroase; tho
shipping movement iB slow.
Groceries were moving on o liberal soale at
substantially yesterday's quotations. The pre-
yalent toeling was ono Of decided firmness, hu-
| wore exctod and nomiually higher, in sympathy
| with Now Fork, where 21@l1o advance has been
cstablirhed since laat week. syrups, spiccs, mud
soaps arc also strong, No changes we're visible
| wallis in tho different departments, md prices
woro sustained with undiminisled hrnlucss.
Ohceso mot With fair inquiry at formor pricou.'
Butter waa quiet, but firm for anything aboyo
orato extent only, and values woro not subjected
to any important change. In tho cnnnod goods
market only a fair business was done. Coal, hay,
hides, and leather Wero selling Ut Jcgtordaj q
prices. No chnngo took place In fruits, pig iron,
and tobacco. Oils wore moving at about proyi-
J GUS rates.
There uns no particular change in tho lumber
market; tho demand is only fair, and prices ayc
moderately active and stcndy. Thoro was no
| abatement in tho domnnl for metals, tinnerB
stock, and nails, md tho market iB firm, cspoc-
tally for tin plato, which is advancing East. Tho
trndo in iron mud steel continues fair aud tho
quoted prices aro as rule alhorod to. Wool
and hops romain quiet and unchanged. Broom
corn WIS in tolorably fair request, tho ordora
being confined principally to the higher gradca
Of corr. @ soeds wore leas active, but ruled firm
crate demand and stcndy. potatoos wero
atoadier, tho receipts having fallen OF. Tho de-
mand for poultry continues good, and as tho
askot a is yey spsrnEy s Rsdl pEies ruled

! 1870, tho former price for loose PACKAGES
HlghwineB were quiot aud steady at yestor-
days quotations, buyers bidding 80114o with firm
ut $40 per gallon.
Luke freights woro dull and nominally un-
Changed At loo for corn aud 1711lc for wheat by
shil to Buffalo. There was no inquiry. Some
agents wore talking about ITO aud 18c, but tho
general impression was that yesao1a could layo
been proourod for leo II wanted. Through rail
frolghts are Goo por 100 tha to New York and zoe
to Boston, both por 100 lbs. Through frcights
&c. e. laho or fai' aF9 quoted nominal at Goo and
Provisions wero moro active md stronger, in
sympathy with Arnnosa in live hogs aud gold.
Mess pork wns in good domand aud advanced 100
per brl. Lard waa In fur ruquest for cash lots,
which were tirmor, but not much wanted for fu-
turo; hence options woro unchanged Moats
were strong, but with no marked advance except
In shoulders, which wero 10 higher. Liverpool
was aaid to lnvo hecn excited on meats prin-
cipally owing to tho rumorod foundering Of d
yoasol having come 4,000,000 lbs on board, and
holders OF al our products were strong, In view
Of the fact thnt stocks are rapidly WORKING down.
while The dcmand ia noarly as strong as evor.
