MARKET REPORT.
Monday Evening, Jan. 9th, la


Get market Of -four, meal and produce tina,
has been known in Cairo since it has been
market. Hay alone has heen in suili.
Client supply TO meet all demands but this
is now very much reduced ana should the
railroad continue TO reject freigh. the
present stock will soon be entirely exhaus-
tod. Corn and oats on the Levce is very
| scarce owing to the proscriptive order OF
the l. c. X. II. rejecting all offered on its
line except that destined for the elevator.
Should this DO preserved in, although the
demand was never more active than ut
present, business must necessarily come to
a stand still, us very little grain is shipped
in bulk from this market and it is out of
the question for dealers to sack and handle
IL in tho elevator with the dispatch that
could be made from the cars on track
We hopo the sake Of shippers, agents, con-
sumors and all concerned that this order
may be speedily countermanded Tho
weather is very cold heavy ice is run
ming out of both rivers, and navigation is
somewhat difli:ult but 10 not interrupted
by il.
nNrCorrespondents should bear in
mind that our quotations represent prices
for round lots from first hands, unless
| otherwise stated, and that in filing small
orders higher prices must be paid -@n
