There is considerable activity in the
general market and the prices Of most
articles ars very firm.
Wheat has advanced five cents per
bushel. The market IS firm with an
upward tendency.
Flour is without change at our quo
.stions. There are no indications that
these figures will be receded from.
Coffees are still advancing under the
reports OF short crop. and we may
ex sect to pay even higher prices than
our to-day's quotations ere long.
Sugars are quiet and unchanged.
Reports from New Orleans indicate a
very considerable advance in Molasses.
The Provision market is much ex.
cited and a large advance may be
looked for. On Tuesday the market in
Cincinnati advanced fully one cent and
in Pittsburgh one and half. The
prospect for an extraordinary demand
from abroad, and the rumor that most
Of the hog crop in the country has al
ready been slaughtered is having an
exhilerating effect on the Provision
market, and the prospect for steady
advance in prices is good.
Butter and eggs are lower: First
class butter cow brings CSC. Eggs are
down to 22@ 24c. by the barrel and the
supply much greater than Tor months.
Wool shows more life than for good
while before. Prices have advanced
two to three cents per pound, and the
enquiry is much more active.
