The PRODUCE EXCHANGE had only
a moderate attendance; no boat having
arrived from above there was little to Of
fer. Corn was in good demand, with
| light offering on the market, and higher
prices are looked for; some corn tn At
was bought at 40c a short time since
sold st 42c. Oats were in some inquiry,
! and the stock is working down; Gales of
so sacks at Ace, IS sacks at 4S", aud 80
sacks at Social black. Bran was in
small offering, with a limited demand;
a small lot OF so sacks sold at 42c Corn
bran was in only small amount; 80
sacks brought Sl3. Hay was quiet, but
choice ia in some request; there was a
ssle of so bales good medium at SIG.
Potatoes have had dropping time all
winter, but they were probably never IS
dali and heavy as now; holders are
anxious to sell, but buyers are very off
ish; lot OF as sacks OF russets sold at
903, and ii was said that 400 barrels more
could be had at the same figures. Pink
eyes are down to 81 80; Ohio river
peachblows, 81 80. COTnnledL remains
as dull as the corner OF brick, with
small seles at 81 IS; it is lower and weak
10 st. Louis, where it quotes 81 2O(92 25,
delivered.
THE GENERAL MARKET is fairly busy
filling Mardi Gras orders, but Front
street was quiet, Mardi- Gras visitors
having very generally left for home.
The Mardi GTas festival is worth all il
costs, as the increased trade OF this week
testifies. Eggs had no animation, sales
were at he, single boxes 14c. Chickens
were complained Of as being heavy, PDd
prices had downward tendency; roOs-
ters 50, fair to medium 50 2594, hens
changed, but choice is very firm at SOC
a pound. Turkeys were selling at 500
Is, which is lower. Geese and ducks
we did not find. Hogs have had very
poor sale this year. A dealer informs
us that where he sold one hog this win
ter he sold ten last, and he had cut up
FOR sailing over 300 hogs that had bean
sent him TO sell fresa. This shows that
the country people are raising hogs.
PrOCfsioHs are spoken OF by the 81. Louis
G ODE Of Thursday as follows: There
has been some little unsteadiness in val
ues, but never disposition at any time
on the part of large holders to go back
on their ideas OF sustained prices, and
toward the close there was decided
strengthening in all the offerings"
