Tne leading produce markets we're rather less
active to-day. The holidays are over, but peo-
pie elsewhere ara not yet anxious to trade and
their quietnees reacts upon us, leaving our mar
ketR to be chiefly kept going By ''home talent" "
The produce movement III relatively slow, except
in wheat, which s wanted East, and is wanted to
be sent here from the country wost Of us. There
was little change IN prices today, the tendency
in grain being to an easier feeling, and In pro-
visions to greater strength.
JobEers 81 dry goods report no change in the
general situation OF that market. Quiet pre-
vailed in all departments, aud prices ranged SUD-
stantially the same as ou the earlier DAYS Of tho
week, where they may be consider et firm. Gro
cenes sold to fair aggregate at full previous
prices. There was no appearance OF weakness
in any department Of tue market. while for col
fees, sugars, sirups, rice, and teas the general
tendency seemed to bo IN an upward direction.
New Orleans molasses advanced SC per gallon,
with which execution prices were the Same as on
Wednesday. The butter trade WAS dull to-day,
and holders were less firm tl,elr demands.
Cheese 1emnins strong ut the recently advanced
prices. or at 14@l5c tor Western factory, and at
15{Gl6c for New York do. Dried fruits. canned
gcuds, and EEh were in moderate request At firm
1ates. Coal, wood, rig-iron. tobacco. and paints
were quoted quiet nud unchanged. Oils remain
steady aud firm.
Lumber was again reported dull and without
qnotable change. Some dealers arc disposed to
hold cenmon lumber 8 little higher, while 9th
ers are making concessions for cash. Tie de-
mand for iron. steel, nails. and metals continues
light, and chiefly Tor small quantities; but hear
ly al these goods are 6rm-notieeably 80 are
iron, nails, md tin-plate. Brooms aud wooden
ware were quiet, but there are indications Of an
early revival OF trade, aud the general feeling is
for the better. Brooms are irm from sympathy
with the raw materials. Furs we're steady and
and hop markets we're quiet and without mate
rial change. Wool aud broou1-corn ara firm,
while The 1naiket for hay and hops il rather
weak. Timothy seed sold to fair extent ct
Hungarian and mlllet were dull. aud the latter
declined. The demand for hides was only
fair, and with liberal offerings prices wsre lot
particularly firm, though no change was report
ed Tie poultry aud game markets woro ex-
t1epely dull and, in view Of tue largo supply and
cept lower prices.
Highwines we're moro active and steady at
Wednesdays quoiatlon being IN good demand
with light offerings, though reported lower in
New York. sales we're reported Of $50 brls at
93c per gallon.
Dressed hogs were quiet and averaged the
same as on "Wednesday. The weather was mild,
but receipts were small, which fact partially
couDteracted the influence Of IN easier maraet
for live. The genelal market was S6.30@G.40
per 100 ths. closing at s6.30@6.35. Sales were
reported OF 50 head (choce) at @G.45; 9i2 at
s.G.4o: 50 at seas; 81 ut $3.50; Sc (odd or soft
iots) at $G25. Total, 1,2C3 head.
Provisions were quiet, but stronger, notwth-
standing the fact that hogs were reported to he
10c per LOO lbs lower. Mess pork advanced l5c
per brl lard 5Gl0c per 1U0 It's, and meats fully
}sc per ID. There WAS a good de1naud for all
classes Of product, but most buyers were un-
wiling to pay moro than on Wednesday, seeing
that the raw material was cheaper; hence less
trading Than aeual. Meats were wanted for OK
port, and pork for option trales, the demand
being stimulated By the Emal1uesB in tho re-
ceipts Of hogs, which threatens q speedy close
Of the packing season. especially us our packers
are only taking hold srarlnyiy, and the stock Of
1nents on hand is reported 10 be very light. Pork
and lard ouened strong, cased off towa1d noon.
