The1eading produce markets we're rather more
active to-day, and most Of them were hrmer, M
der general impression that the worst has
becn seen for the present. The foreign markets
wero less weak, and the depression here, due to
the fac. and expectation Of press1:e to got
from under February deliveries, has passed OF,
as the load has been gradually distributed to
parties able to carry it. The receipts rather
more liberal to-day. and the shipments not
large but there WAS no especial pressure on &c
count OF this fact
There was no important change in the condition
of the dry goods market. Both local aud in
terror buyers wore ordering freely, and prices
we're again firm all around. In brown and
bleached cottons, prints, denims, stripes, and
cambrics the tendency is still upward, as stocks
nrs unusually light, not only in distributors
hands, but at the sources OF the supply, In the
grocery market liberal amount OF trading was
done at unchanged prices. Coffees and sugars
we're trifo moro qniet than during the
earlier days of tho week, but they show
no signs Of weakening. Rice remains
firm, as do also slrups, molassea starch
spices. nud soaps. Teas were in active request,
and we're held with great ftmness: Cable ad-
vices are to the effect that, at Yokohama prices
OF Japans are strong at SC advance, and an
early upward movement here is looked for in
consequence. No new features were developed
in connection with the cheese, butter, fish, and
canned goods markets. Dried fruits we're selling
moro freely, and were fr1nor al around, with
material advances in several descriptions The
more notable changes were al advance OF Ac in
prunes, q Ic in apples, 1c in pitted cherries,
raisius. Nuts ruled quiet and less firm, e1-
cept peanuts, which arc higher. Walnuts are
- OF ii 2@3c per ID. Prunes and curErants are
active, as thoy are now the cheapest articles in
tue list The coal trade continues dun at former
quotations. There il some talk Of advancing
the price OF Lackawanna, but other descriptions
arc expected to remain about where they are-at
least for the present. There was only moder-
ate demand for pigiron, paints. and pr par stock,
and values were not subjected to any quotable
chaugo in prices except for extra lard, which was
up &c, or to 85c. Carbon, Gnseed, whale, sperm,
turpontine. aud other descriptions, ru:od firm as
previously quoted.
Lumber continues to meet with an acIveinterior
dcmand, and q firm feeling pervadea tie market,
grades. Il is understood that logging in tho
pneries is NOW progressing satisfactorily, and
there is little doubt TINT the supply Of lumber the
coming season will be liberal. Tinners' stock,
steadily increasing demand. Iron vas firm in
sympathy with the Pittsburgh market, aud trade
was reported fair. Salt remains quiet and un-
changed. The wool. broom-corn, hay, and hop mar
kcts wore unchanged. There was only moder-
n'e trade in seeds: prlces ruling about the same M

prices. Poultry was in good request and
steady.
Hishwines were in good demand, and firm at
Fridays quotation, but quiet as the offcrl ngs
were light. Sales were made of 100 bEls at 97c
per gallon. Most Of our dissillers arc running
on alcohol for export to Europe, which accounts
for the light supp17 that keeps up our market
within Sc of New York.
Dressed nogs were in good demand for ship-
1nent, and 5@10c per 100 lbs higher, under 8
rather free competition n1nong buyers. Tho

Provisions vcre more active and stronger.
The receipts OF hcgs were less. and the proper
ton of good oned was very small. while the de-
cline Ct yesterday brought out buyers This
was especially tho case with meats, larger orders
for which have been here for several days past,
but limited to the point touched yesterday, ,Bon
the downward turn. Some of these orders were
from tho South, but the majority from Europe,
the inquiry in the hitter direction being healthier
than for two OF three weeks past. The frmness
III meats extended to lard, though the later WAS
reported easier in Liyerpool but tho demand
WAS not SO urgent at the resulting advance OF
Sc per 100 lbe. Meas pork vas steady through
being in better speculative demand. with q fair
