TUESDAY, June 3-6 p. M,
The merchandise markets were again dun and
prices were quite generally lower. On Change the
chief feature was another break in wheat, and
oats, all Of which closed at decidedly lower prices
and dull at that. Flour was tribe more steady,
but still dull Wheat was pressed for sale and
prices declined materially lower, the decline being
general. There was some demand for shipment
and orders which could not be executed before were
filed to-day. For forward delivery nothing was done
to-day, but prices were nominally &c. a &c. below
those paid the preceding evening. Corn was dull,
and with free receipts, mostly not prime, pressed
for sale at q marked decline. Oats were also dull
and decidedly lower for all kinds. Whlskey was
almost the only exception to the general dullness
and depression on 'Change, prices being ra Their
higher. There was almost no movement in pro-
vsisions though pork firm cash. Lard was easier
Freighs were strong Cotton quiet for spot but in
demand, and ll6c h. better for futures Groceries
with the exception Of sugar, quiet but the market
generally frm Petroleum neglected, but prices
were nomnally steady. Naval stores were quiet and
while spirits rated shade better rosin nominaly
easier. East India goods generally quiet but firm
Wool was in fair request, and the market steady.
AsHKs.-Receips for the past three days q packages
Pots have met with fair demand, and were steady at
%. Pearls remained entirely nominal.
BUILDING MArERrALs.-rhe market for brick has been
moderately active, with prices ruling steady pre-
viously quoted. Lime has been rather quiet but was
quoted steady at 81 so for Rockland common 81 70
for do. lump. Cement was unchanged. Rosendale
quoted at 81 per bb LAths were dull but steady at
81 rs for Eastern spruce.
CoITos on the spot was neglected but in sympathy with
the continued upward movement in future deliveries
prices assumed nominaly higher range. The appended
quotations, however, show no advance. Future de-
hveres advanced l6 and closed steady at the improve
ment. We sum up thus -
