kets. Oats are plenty and weaker buy
ers are offering but Gic to-day and are
not anxious at that. Corn has declined

is all owing TO the unsettled state of
affairs at New Orleans. Eggs. butter,
poultry and fruit are all plenty and very
dull.

were, 81 cars of oats; Is cars of corn
and cars of wheat.
