There was little II any Improvement in the mer
chandiss markets to-day compared with the
past several days, dulness and rregularity still
constituting the most conspicuous features OF the
times. There was scarcely any speculation, the
merchants generally regarding the future with
some apprehension. On Change there was but
little manifest inclination to do business, and be-
yond the limits OF actual necessity very little
was oone. The previously existing qutetude
in breadstuns continued, and no i'm
provement in this regard Is anticipated
until the canal receipts commence, white many
do not look Tor any decided Improvement even
then, save IN the event OF decline In prices.
Flour was dull Wheat quiet but arm for all kinds both
on the spot and to arrive Corn was dull heavy and
rather lower Oats steady. Whiskey rlhe
easier. Pork and laro dull and easy though with
out decided change. Petroleum quiet and steady.
Naval stores quiet Groceries quiet and
steady. Cotton the SPOT was quiets futures were
steady.
