Withdrawn from store yesterday for city con-
sumption: 1874 bu wheat; 3,9o2 bu corn
LIST bu oats $40 bn rye; 435 bu barley.
The following grain has been inspected into
store this morning up to 10 o'clock: 1873 cars
wheat; l0l cars corn; IS cars oats; cara rye;
cars barley. Total SIG cars. OF lis, 900 bu.
Tie lending produce markets were general "
lower to-day, barley and wheat being the prin.
cipal exceptions. There was, however, more
dong in most departments, the result Of prop
erty being offered more literally BY holders.
The trading was chiefly speculative, tho shipping
movement being light. The continued muddy
weather il diminishing the volume Of receipts !;
which fact teuds to prevent Il break in prices.
There was fair activity in the demand for
domestic dry goods, and also fair movement in
i1npol ted fabr1cs. Prices were again quoted
firm. The grocery trade was reasonably active
at generally firm prices. Sugars still show
lack of strength, but for all other articles enum-
Grated in our list the feeling was decidedly firm.

we're quiet. Common brick are held
with more frmuees by many dealers, who
anticipate an active demand eaily in tie spring,
while tie stocks are light and, it is thought. may
be exhausted before new can be made. Wool
was very hrn Under light offerings and good
demand. The broom-:orn market w.s also

The markets at other points we're depressed, and
for the game reason that existed here-the pres
sure OF considerable Quantities Oil sale, with few
buyers. The market for live hogs exhibited no
decided change, though the weather was ur7
fs:cr.sle lor handling products. Liverpool Was
rumored to be Is higher On lard, but operators
did not eeem to believe it. Pork ia Ii large
faclured in extraordinarily large Quantities to
meet an unusual speculative demand. Besides,
there ale rumors to the effect that not little Ut
our pork has been scaled pretty low; aud Cana
dian buyers are willing to pay more for Gin
cnnati pork, in consequence. This leaves
little but tue speculative demand to Lan-
die our pork, aud that is not adequate to
carrying it over March, most Ut the
opt,on purchases having been originally mada
for February, in the belief that the greatest
kafo }l,nt
deal Of the pork has recently been turned over
into March but it Is still here. and; operators
outside of the S~ock-ial+is are not DO RuxlouB to
carry 1t As heretofore. Lard is confesseay in
light stock; but the demand ia also small the
Tow price of petroleum inducing large con-
sumption Vt that oil for purposes which have
heretofore been supplied by drafts Oh the lard
tlerce. Meats are in hrnall STOCK, aud the deples-
sion in rail freiglts is an inducement to take
hold, bul our city yield is just now being con-
duct, aud the feeling is not helped by
tbs anxiety Of holders OF pork aud lard
to place their property in other bands.
