March 2lnd. IS76.

The heavy rains Of the latter part Of
last week interfered considerably with
the movement of grain and hay; this,
combined with light receipts. makes our
report of sales rather meagre.
The weather was raw and cold yester-
day, but after light fall of snow last
night, 1t cleared warm and pleasant, and
today has been baImly and springlike.
In most respects, the market Is UNI
changed. Flour shows decided i'm
provement in feeling all round, and we
note large increase In the volume of or
d rs for the last day or two. In hay the de-
m md is seady and supply fair; prices hold
firm and unchanged. Oats are In fair SUP.
ply, and holders firm at an advance. The
market il almost bare OF corn, owing to
the light receipts occasioned by the diff
Guilty usually experienced at this season
of the year by farmers in moving grain.
We refer to bad weather, and worse coun-
try roads.
Dutlcr aud eggs are overstocked and
dull, with nuctuatlng prices.
Chickens, apples aud potatoes are
scarce, and in good demand.
