The weather continues cold and I'M
pleasant. To-day has been cloudy with
a damp cold atmosphere but no wind.
There is nothing new developing in
the leading markets. Prices continue
about the same range a. those of last
week with no excitement to speak of in
anything. Flour is moving quietly along
in the same old rat where it has been for
the last two or three months, with some
demand for all grades but not pushing in
anything. The demand for both white
and mixed corn continues steady, alb
sorbing all receipts, aud holders are firm
in their views. There is a fair shipping
demand for choice hay, also for
oats, with only moderate supply of eli
ther offering. Butter and egg. are plen-
~ and the market is weak and unsettled.
Poultry is more plenty and easier; the
tendency J. downward.
The Ohio Is falling slowly and is clear
of Ice.
Freights are steady and unchanged
