from the city, and this with the holldays
created stagnation in trade. During the
last two or three days, however, trade mas
been more active.
The wheat market Is active and without
any change to note.
Flour rules firm though prices are un-
changed.
Corn and Oats are very scarce and prices
have advanced sc. per bushel Tor each. A
| further advance is looked for In both arti-
Giles.
Hay is firm at our quotations with very
light stock.
In produce the trade has been light, with
| few receipts. Butter seems to command
steady sale at PC for table use. Eggs are
very scarce for fresh, and prices are firm at
Soc per dozen. Lined eggs are about all
there are in the market, and some grades Oh
these are held at CSC per dozen. Potatoes
are very firm. It Is reported that the
cold weather of the past week has
frozen many lots held for the market
and that 1t Is feared that those
buried will be found on opening to be frost
bitten. There seems to be demand
for potatoes, while the receipts Of the week
have been very light.
| IN cheese there have been but few transac'
tions. Prices have advanced iull half
cent.
In the iron trade we have no change 10
make In prices; the trade Is very light. Al
a meeting OF the Western Iron and Nail AS
ISOLATION at Pittsburgh on Friday 1t was de-
cided to make no further reduction In
prices and adhere to the present card rates.
In Wool there Is no change to note. The
market is without interest, buyers no. wish
ing 10 purchase and holders not willing to
sell. The New York Herald of Saturday
says thai the market has been unusually
quiet for the past three days-in fact, there
has scarcely anything been accomplished,
and certainly nothing OF importance.
Prices for all descriptions remained nomi-
nally the same, and will, in all probability.
until after New Year, when, If dealers an
ticipations are realized, there will be consid-
cradle business contaminated.
Prices for Smoked Meats are lower. In
the Pork trade there doee not seem TO be
much change, the prices for dressed hogs
being about the same as at the opening OF
the week. Our packers have not as much
stock on hand as they can make up. From
present appearances the amount OF pork
packed here will not be as large as last
year, but judging from the size OF the hogs
thus far received their average weight will
be nearly one-tenth heavier.
