are changed have been for the most part taken by
Germany.

MONDAY, Nov. 17-6 p. NJ
The merchandise markets were generally more
steady, under an improving demand, and an i'm
proved feeling was almost everywhere manifest.
On Change the leading articles were fairly dealt
in on fun or better prices and the markets gener-
ally closed firm. Flour was steady, with fair
inquiry. Wheat was in fair request for export,
with some little speculative inquiry. The bulk of
the business was for shipment at rather better
prices. Corn was also in good demand and the mar
ket was frmer. The active movement in oats con-
tnued unabated, and prices further materially ad-
vanced. Whiskey was steady. Pork was still
nominal. Lard was fairly active at steady prices.
Freights unchanged. Lard closed weak at an
advance. Cotton declined ll6c. sc per b closed
