to day, there is installing the general meaning OF
them-i &. the merchandise markets continue to be
characterized by the duetude that has obtained
so long, and during the past week the situation OF
affairs has been rendered still more unsatisfactory by
the comparative inacton and consequent reaction in
the breadstufis market The cessation Of demand Is
the signal for recession OF prices. FASTENED by the
writing tho market is dull while prices materially
lower than they were some time ago The cable ad-
vices have been OF less favorable tenor during the
past week than they we're during the preceding week,

Europe has accordingly been nearly lively although
the falling on will hardly be shown by tho clearances from
the Custom House, large proportion OF tho amount
cleared sold last week. Tho week, taken whole,
has certainly tended In favor Of buyers although with
duced limits the Inducements to ship freely have not been
great they during tho previous few weeks The
downs oprovsions have been about conspicuous
