PROVISIONS.
! At the opening of the week there was but
little demand for articles under this head on
shipping account and local spectators show
| ing but little disposition to trade, the market
ruled dull and easy. Toward the middle of the
week, however, there was more desire shown
to trade on speculative account, and the move
ment was considerably increased and prices
simultaneously ruled a trifie frmer. The adj
vices from the East were more favorable. but
European markets were quoted rather weak.
The receipts of hogs were liberal, but prices
for these were generally maintained. The

and seller October at $13. 30.
SEEDS.
There was more doing in the seed market
during the past week, but sales were confined
almost entirely to timothy. There were good
many lots of timothy received which had rather
depressing influence on the market. The
quality of the new seed arriving was very good;
it was rather dark in color, and for this diff
ference of about SC was made between equal
qualities of old and new. The market closed
at about So 600Q2.65 for prime new, and $2.70
for old. Glover sold in a small way at 5000
$40 for prime medium. For flax, SLIGO was
