We arc requested to state TINT tho Wholesale
prices OF linsced oil, from cruBhors, is now Csc;
not 9Cc, as previously reported.
Tho loading produce markets wore again weak
to-dny, and moat of them were less aotiye,
owing to 4 lack Of BUYERS evon ut the decline.
Tho news from Now York tingcd tho situation
here with Il deeper gloom than yesterday,
though tile effect on Western produce was gen.
orally regarded as only temporary. The Bhip-
ping movement was impede1 by the fact tlat It
was impossible to draw on New York for cash
against grain forwarded or even to sell Now
York exchange, and the markets were further
depressed by tho pecuniary slringoncy hero.
WHICH forced mnny holders to realizo, and
kept out many persons who would have
beoa buyers ltndor al ordinary condition
OF tho money market. There was, how
ever, nttle Of tho forced selling out noted
Yesterday: The reported shipments Of yester-
day we're largo, and exceeded the receipts thoy
had been arranged FOR before tile crash at tho
East. The receipts Of today we're layge for tho
Rame reason. There can be no doubt that very
little moro grain will DO forwarded from the
deal is yet on tie WY, and will keep up tho vol
uno OF our receipts for day or two. Our
present stocks OF grain are large, hut can

result Of the panic IN the East will probably bo
to cause temporary blockade Of our produce
movement in both directlons, and tho shrlukage
Of prices will correspond III magnitude with tho
extent Of that blockado. The fall il serious
ono for holders aud producers, but must be
small in comparison with tho Eastern tumble In
stocks, aud the prospects for recovery ars ill
flitely hetter.
It Is mattor for congratulation that, amid all
