The leading produce markets were quite frn

being good demand for most articles at yester
days prices. The shipping movement wat
| rather Light for the day but the bulletin showed
large quantity Of grain cleared yesterday, and
! the shipments from the seaboard during the
week we're very liberal. New York alone having
| exported something like 100000 bu wheat and
775, 600 bu corn. This gave confidence in the
future Of prices in tho face Of depressing news
from Europe.
Dry-goods we're active and firm for staple and
seasonable lines. Prices were the same az on
yesterday. The grocery-trade was reported
reasonably active for sugars, sirups, rice, teas,
notable exception. Buyers still entertain tho
opinion that materially lower prices will prevail
later in tho season, aud. they cannot be induced
to order larger quantities than seem to be re-
qufslte to meet the current wants Of the trade
Stocks here are light, consequently thero ia no
great pressure to sell, but there iB more or less

order to effect sale. Cheese is in good

degree OF animation, and fair tone both for
foreign aud domestic varieties. Stocks arc

markets. Baeging WAS quiet and steady at SIC
for Stark, 3214c for Lewiston aud 2914c for

firmly sustained prices
Lumber ahoat was moderately active at about
the same range Of prices. Common to choice

and feece-washed is easier. Hidca were steady.

consequence, BUYERS are disposed to operate

but choice samples were held steadily Poultry

Lake fEeights were dull at about the same
rates as on Friday, at 411c for moderate-sized
vessels, on corn to Buffalo. Only charters
were reported, Which will carry out "a 900 bu
wheat, and g., 900 bu corn. Tho adrices from
the neighborhood OF the straights OF Mackinaw
we're not very favorable TO speedy open

Some vessels are still unr1gged, tho ownors stating
it to be their intention not to prepare to sail un-
less rates improve.
We note that the aggregate OF grain loaded in
to vessels this season to date, at this port, is
follows: 532,974 bu wheat 825,0S5 bu corn,
900 bu oats, and u, 400 bu barley. Total, |

by the temperance movement; aud,
now that the agitation has subs1ded, there is
