our last semi-weekly review. Corn and
,a,s are a shade higher in price and firm.
Tho speculative demsnd is small owing 20
the small margin In prices below compared
with those OF this market. The present
stiff prices are only sustained 10y the de-
mand for home consumption, and to sup
ply tue order demand, it being rather in
excess Of receipts. The condition Of the
meal market shows an improvement, and
the old stock is nearly or quite exhausted,
and holders are firm at 81 30 and 81 35
for choice. There ia n demand for choice
hay that keeps the market bare. Com
mon hay !. plenty ana
not wanted at any price.
The eour market continues dull with bui
little movement, except in small lots.
Esgs are scarce and firm at an advance of
4 10 lc on the dozen. The butter mar
ket il over stocked aud dull, with SOC as
outside figure for gilt edge northern, and
Csc for choice. Provisions are very qliet,
not enough doing to establish quotations.
The weather is tine, and rivers falling
Freigh,s are quiet with rates unchanged
