Wo arc requested to ata to lint tho wholesale
prices of linsccd oil, from crusiaers is now 9Sc;
not 9Gc, as previously reported.
The leading produce markets wcre again weak
to-day, aud most Of them woro less active,
owing to lack Of buyers, oven Mt tho decline.
Tho uows from New York tlugcd the situation
here with a deeper gloom than yesterday,
though tile effect On Western produce was gen-
ernlly regarded US only temporary. Tho ship
ping movement was impoded by tho fact that it
was impossible to draw on New York for cash
against grain forwarded, or even to sell New
York exchange, and tho markets were further
depressed by the Rceuniary ssaingoncy hore.
witch forced many holders to reallze, and
kept out many porsona who would havo
been buyers under an ordinary condition
Of tho money market. There was. how
cyor, little Of tho forced selling ont noted
day were large, and exceeded the reccipts; they
Ind been arranged for before tho crash ut tho
EaHt, Tho receipts Of to-day were large for the
same roaBon. There can bo no doubt that very
little more grain will be forwarded from tho
deal Is yet on tho way, md will keep up the vol
ume of our receipts for p day or two. Our
present stocks Of grain ave lasge, but can
probably BE- carried without much di1i!-
sariy shifted to other shoulders. Tho
result Of tho panic In the East will probably be
to cause \ temporary blockade Of oNr produce
movement In both directions, aud tho shrinkago
extent Of that blockado. The fall is serious
one for holders and producers, but mntt bo
small In comparison With tho Eaatorn tumble in
stocks, and the prospects for recovery are in
tlnitoly better.

the exoitomont. there has been no failure among
our local operators in produce. Some OF them
have been very hard pressed, but proved them
Hulyes able to bear It.
ln tho dry-eoods markets theyc wero no now de-
yolopments. Tho demand continues uniutor-
ruptody active, and the market maintains the
firm, healthy tone that has charactertzoa it for

traotiye, and our iobbers are prepared to meet
any md all demands that n,ay DO mado upon
