There was a fair volume of trade in the local
merchant sc markets to-day, and, as a rule
values were irm and unchanged. The pro-
vision market was on the whole stronger, and
j obbers were generally asking higher prices.
Groceries were in good demand and firm at
quotations. 20 uietneSs was the distinguishing
feature of the grain markets. Wheat was
quiet weak and fully Ic lower, with rather
limited demand either on shipping or specula-
tive account. Seaboard markets are easier,
and this taken in connection with stiff freight
rates and lack of cars, together with free re-
ceipts, has depressing influence on values.
The market for corn was quiet but steady, ex-
cept for white, which was much lower. Mixed
and high mixed are in moderate shipping de-
mand, and offerings fair at Saturdays prices.
Oats were IN fair demand and firm. Flour was
In good consumptive demand and steady.
Country produce was quiet and in the main
unchanged.
RECEIPTS AND SHIPMENTS.
The following were the receipts and ship
ments of leading articles during the preceding
twenty-four hours, as reported to the board OF
trade:

TO BANKRUPTCY.
BY PAUL.

Bar up the door, the passage close,
Put out the light that guided those
Who sought release from debtors woes
In bankruptcy.
No more Wen ope the mystic gate.
Though thousands stand without and wait
1t can't be helped-they come too late
For bankruptcy.
No doubt but some will come TO grief,
Not on account of their belief,
But cause too late they sought relief
In bankruptcy
Which pays their debts and sets them free
Provided creditors agree,
And the colonel gets his little fee,
In bankruptcy.
Why was the soothing law repealed,
In whose broad statutes was revealed
A glitterine path from tn business field,
Thro' bankruptcy?
At whose far end the hidden purse
Dig up; nor think yourself the worse
For having travelled in the hearse
OF bankruptcy.
o, bankrupt mill! thy door is shut!
Thy hopper's full of wheat and smut!
Contraction's made of thee glut
bankruptcy!
But, by and by-for people win
Keep slipping down the finance hill
Demand an act thy place to I'LL;
Till then good by!
