OFFICE DAILY INTELLlGRSCRR,
Wednesday, January 10.

The new year as yet has brought no de.
| cided Improvement in business, but hopes
are entertained that all branches OF trade
are destined to improve before long. We
think, in view OF the fact that stocks OF all
Kinds OF goods, both in the hands Of retail.
erS and consumers, are small, that there
will he an Increased demand within the
next week or two. The continued suspen.
sion OF navigation tends to keep back bust.
ness, and tits hoped that there will soon 10
n'breakup. Several OF the leading articles
since the date oil our last general report
have appreciated in value. Coffee has ad.
vanced lcr per pound, and mess pork Soc
per barrel. Butter, eggs aud cheese ia fair
demand hut unchanged.
ArrLEs-There is an increasing demand,
aud tho arrivals for some time past, In
consequence Of tho cold weather, have been
very light, yet'no improvement in prices,
which We continue to quote at zoo aSl per

fruit.
BEASs-Small navy, per bushel, 81 5Oa
l75. HgaH..r r..
BUTrER-The receipts continue quite
liberal, which may he attributed To tile
anxiety of people in the country to take
advantage OF the good roads to get their
produce marketed before the weather
breaks. This being the case, our market
is Overstoekea, particularly with the com.
mon and medium grades, and prices are
weak aud in buyers favor. We reduce
