REMARKS Owing to heavy receipts, stocks OF
Flour have larg .ly accumulated, and the tenn
porary activity noticed last week has given
place to a dull market; no shipments are re-
ported, and the only sales made are to retail
,calers for Evtra brands; Family and low grades,
such MS Fine and Supers, are neglected. Re-
ccipts of Wheat very light, and, owing to
the scarcity Of money, the market is dull and
almost neglected; there has been some shipment
to neighborng ports, but the bulk of the receipts
60 to store; offerings to day of 1862 bushels,
with sales of white at $50 and 1872 for good to
prime and of red at 1S5. 40 and Jag for fair to
good, and l5S and 100 for prime Corn is in very
limited receipt, and all the offerings sell readily
to local millers the market is active at decline
during the week of 2a3c; no shipm nts are re-
1or,ed he receipts being barely sufficient to
supp,v the local demand; offerings of $40 bus h
els mixed with sales al 66 for damaged, and II for
good quality Rye is quiet and unchanged. Oats
nre active ut an advance of Sc; offerings of TAG
bushels, with sales ut 40, d. 45, Al and 48. Prime
Butter is scarce and in good enquiry. Eggs are
wanted Potatoes are in better demand. Seeds
are quiet and unchanged Bacon is steady at
last weeks quotations. Onions are in fair
demand.

exhibited considerable activity Ill through, all

Sheep and Lambs-Tho receipts of Sheep show
considerable falling Oft since last week, and the
pens aro nearly bare, any accommodations OF pre-
vi,nl> week being disposed of-quotations just
low, As to quality, show no advance, but in view
9,he Nght numbers now in the yards, prices are
iooSlnsup. We quote Sheep at 4a5ae Ter 10
gross and an extra lot held for &c. Stock Sheep
2A.SS 80 per head Lambs in good demand at
Za:l per mead Receipts this week 1866 head.
ilogS-AS with other classes of stock this week,
Hogs have also fallen on in numbers, but up to
TINS time the receipts have been about equal to
The demand and prices without material chsngc,
being tu; shade lower than last week, 1t is
thought that any marked increase in arrivals
would be immediately followed by decline in
Prices, MS the demand is very limited. We quote
att .OsS1 - per 100 lbs net for common to best
Inc latter being most ready OF snle while the
others are very dull. Receipts this week 34G6
