such as light stocks, in articles most in
demand; one days steady rain that put
q stop TO out door business, and to-day
being the first of the month our merchants
were busy settling up the business of the
last month, and attempted very lit
tie in the way of buying and selling. We
note very little change in the leading
markets. Stocks of corn and oats were
light, the demand steady aud prices un-
changed: although the shipping demand
for oats has fallen off in consequence of
the glut and decline at New Orleans.
Flour is scarce all round, with an active
demand and prices firm and likely to adj
vance. Other branches of the market
exhibit no new feature since our last re-
port.

0lling orders and for broken lots it is nee
essary to charge an advance over these
