PRICE CURRENT OFFICE, !
Thursday Eve, March 10, 1874. !

The weather since our last report has been
very changcable and uncertain. The Their
moneter yesterday and day before run up
into the seventies, and we have been visited
by some very heavy wind and rain storms,
accompanied 10y thunder and lightning OF
the scvercst and most ''numsrous" kind.
To-day is cold but It l. still cloudy with small
prospect Of a clear up soon. The aimoS-
phere i heavy and depressing and it may
or may not be this that has so cflcctually de-
pressed the market; we think not. but as
cribe it to the fac, that orders for grain and
hour have fallen of TO almost nothing-ihere
j. no shipping demand, receipts have been
up 10 the usual amount. and stocks are ac-
cumlatng. Prices are well sustained in ey-
erything except oats they are weak and
quiet to-day, closing at i.c in bulk, and 53c
in sacks.
The season for roll butter in this market is
over-,he weather is growing TOO warm for
it and buyers are inqiring for choice solid
packed. The river continues to fall slowly.
Rates are lower 10 some points but unchang-
ell 10 New Orleans.
taJ Correspondents should bear in mind
that our quotations represent prices for
round lots from first hands, unless otherwise
stated. and that in filling small orders, high
prices must be paid. III
