COMMERCIAL.
PRICE CURRENT OFFICE,
Friday, Eve, Oct. 70, 1873.
aINHRAL REMARKs.

The market presents gloomy and dis
heartening aspect. There is nothing do
ing in sLy Of its branches. Large con-
signments of grain and -four have been
received, on which consignors are asking
advances that consignees decline to make.
Stocks Of all kinds are sceumulat'ng and
buyers may be said 10 be all out ~ tbs
market Sellers are willing ia many cases
to make concessions to effect cash ssles
and do not feel nxious TO make sales for
anything but the cesh.
Finances stand ss they have since the
commencement of the panic. Times are
- bard and rates as high as they have
been a, any time at New Orleans, with no
indications Of any improvement soon.
Prices there rule high with steady mar
ket but d money, and spectators do not
care to take the risk Of making shipments.
Our merchants continue 10 receive orders
but decline to I'll them In nearly all cases
except for cash on delivery.
Correspondents are advised to hold
shipments Of all kinds for the present.
A few car loads Of choice white corn
might be sold to-day but IL would take
very little 10 over-stock the market.
