The leading produce markets were steadier satur-
day, with fair business doing IN most depart
ments The markets would probably have been
weaker, least in grain, but for the storm OF Fri
day night, and the peculiar atmospheric conditions
Of the morning, which led many operators to ex-
pect more rain. The adviccs from Liverpool and
New York were not favorable to strength and our
receipts Of oats were rathcu1arge for tho season,
while there was pruspect that the stocks OF corn
will show material reduction when the next
