PRICE CURRENT OFFICE,
Monday Eve, Jan. 8, 1878.


The general features of the market re-
main unchanged. Prices on oats and corn |
huctus,e some, gong up or down cent or
two, governed 20 some extent by the sup
ply and demand.
The msrke, on oats was firm a. i9G5oc,
49c being considered outside figures by
,peculs.ors, to ship. sales we're nearly all
made OF zoe.
Old corn. both white and mixed, on
change this morning was offered d, 62@GSc
in sacks, without buyers.
There is soma amin alton in the -four
market, with an upward tendency in pri-
Gee, and we believe an advance of 25c hss
been made on some grades.
Meal is firmly he'd a. So 90 for choice
but il quoted dull, and concessions would
have 10 be made 10 effect sales OF any con-
sequence.
Hay 10 very dull. There is no dem. nd
for Il. Tho immense qasntity that has
gone down from the Ohio river has filled
tho Southern country full for the pres d.
ent.
The weather turned cold Suddenly, yes
to-day, and snow WAS dying u little this
morning. A faw days like this would
place Cairo at the head IF navigA-
ton, rs the river is already DAN
gerous to s.: Louis, owing to low water,
add even q small quantity of ice TO this
and you have an eiectual blockade.
We had intended reviewing tho maIket
of the past year, in this issue If the Price

with only tho aggregate amounts OF trans
actions in leading articles of grain, hay,
etc, and these figures only approximate TO
