FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL



FRIDAY, February 21.-The severe weather the
past few days has had tendency to create dull
ness in all kinds of business, and there are very few
buyers in town to-day. The feature of the market
now is in Corn, and for the next two months we may
look for considerable activity In this article. Deal
ers are buying heavy; one firm states that they have
about two hundred car loads on the road. aud the
firm feeling now manifested is likely to continue for
some time to come, with an advance from our pres
emit quotations. In Boston Oats have advanced
owing to the small stock and light receipts, which
makes this market active, though prices are I'M
changed. The Fish market, which has been unusu-
ally quiet the past few months is looking BETTER and
we can safely say that revival in this business has
already taken place. An arrival is reported to-day
OF 1000 otis of bake and 1900 boxes herring There
is no change to notice in fish, except scaled herring,
which are quoted at II 20, but an advance of all
kinds is predicted. Sugars are quite animated and
a very firm feeling prevails in consequence of an ac
advance in New York yesterday; granuated is quot
ed at SIC, Extra c. at &c. Flour is firm and I'M
changed. Molasses is dull and not much doing. Pork
and Lard are steady. Eggs unchanged Oil-Ligonia
at ls1c, Kerosene TIC, Petroleum 12c In Fruit the
market is quiet to-day.
The following are the latest quotations of Flour,
