day, almost to .du1ness, buyers holding of in
most departments, while prices of breadBtufs
were generally easier, in consequence~of larger
receipts and finer weather. The transportation
difficulty is as great as ever, and has the. et1ec.
Of keeping down our shipments to very low ebb
except on cut meats; in spite of the fact that
our produce is badly wanted at many Eastern

and on the Erie road, having absorbed nearly
all the available freight accommodations.
This fact is telling fescfnlly upon many who
have usually been able to command tho use Of
money to carry produce, aa it tells upon all
classes Of trade. And it, no doubt, has a great
deal to do with prices; as it lessons the number
OF buyers, and reduces many to the necessity Of
pushing options along from one month to
another, when they would otherwise carry tho
property through into spring. This lack OF
available capital bids fair to choke up our ele-
yators with grain, because it is difficult to COM
nund the capital necessary to- buy: it to load on
vessels awaiting the opening Of navigation. It
is an almost unhe2rd-of circumstance thct we
should not have single vessel chartered to load
with grain in the middle of February.
There WAS noticeable improvement in the
demand for dry goods and among our jobbcre 4
