The loading produce markoss were weak to-
day and generally dull, the feeling being dacid-
clty hoavy in most departments, with not much
disposition to buy at reduced prices. Tho mar
kets at other points were in similar condition,
which was partially cause, and partly an effect,
OF our own weakness. It WAS one Of tho bluo
days all oyor tho commercial world, when buyers
hang baok for q Decline aud those who must soil
only do 30 by forcing their property on the mar-
lct.
Quiet still proyails in tho different depart
mouts of tho grocery market, and prices reulain
steady aud uniform. Groceries wero meeting
With nothing moro than moderate inquiry, Or

The lumber market WIS again active, the trado

scarce anl consequently firm: Shingles on

lath are also firm, owing to moderate stocks aud
