light, and home operators not anxious to do
anything beyond making an occasional now
deal or settling up m old ono. Prices wero firm

Tho situation OF the dry goods market was CO.
sentinlly unchanged. Aside from prints brown
and b1oached cottons, denms, and certain lines
Or dross goods, trado Was positively dull, and
the prevalent feoling was far from buoyant.

Lake freightB wero active at q decline Of nlCD
10 on Buffalo rates, with the offerings Of craft
more than adequate to tho supply, the fayora-
bio winds Of tho past two or threo days bring
Ing in largo fleet from the lower lakes. Vessel
agents and oWners wero anxious to make on
gagements, having evidently arrived ut tho con-
oluaion that whenever tic prco Of any com
modlty mo- ,naas is put up to fictitious figure

ture, With liberal settlements and changing
around OF options from Quo month to another.
Ihe receipts Of hogs arc gradually falling off,
nneasineaa on tho part Of somo operators who
had sold short freely in anticipation TINT tloro
was no end Of tho hog crop. Tho falling OF may
be accounted for, in measure ut least, by
planting. and are allowing everything else to go
