FRIDAY, Jan. 1876 P. M.
The merchandise markets were still dull and
generally irregular, even more irregular than
usual, owing to the decline Of the gold premium.
There was no more disposition to assume new OBJ
legations to-day than formerly, while there was
more disposition to sell, sometimes even at q sac
ri1ce. Business was very light in nearly every
species OF merchandise, and changes in prices
were almost always in buyers favor. On 'Change
business was very contracted, the actual sales
being very light, even when the markets were
strong. Flour was dull and most brands were
wholly nominal Wheat was very little, II
any, better of than -four. There was
almost no demand. and though prices were lower the
concession failed OF inducing purchases and
the market was entirely nominal for all kinds. Corn
was in moderate demand, but prices we'll sus-
tained. Oats were without change Barley was still
quiet while rye was entirely nominal Whskey was
nesectsd eassi with but tie Msss
