Saturday and irregular. PROVISIONS were e1-
cited and much stronger, the chief excitement
being in pork. Wheat was stronger corn, oats,
and rye steady, aud barley weak, while winter
f1ours we're generally held more firmly. The
trading was chiefly for future delivery, the ship
ping movement being still impeded by a scarcity
Of ireight-room.
The market for dry goods was devoid OF new
features. Quiet still prevails in all depart
ments, and prices maintain the steadncss here
tolore charactcrizing them. Groceries met
with liberal general demand and we're firmly
held. CotTees showed = slight upward tenden-
CT, and sugars, rice, spices, and teas were also
held With confidence. In the dried-fruit market
there was more doing than is usual to the sea-
son, both domestic aud foreign varieties being
freely dealt in. Prices we're again quoted firm
throughout the list. Canned goods are active
aud firm, with peaches (which are very scaree)
and some other lines tending upward. Fish
were dull and nominal. Oils were without
change in price. The leather, bagging, and to-
bacco markets were without new features.
Coal was fairly active and firm.
The lumDer market was teady, and the sales
liberal for midwinter. The shipments include
lumber that was contracted for during the fall,
and is now being delivered. All the reports
from the pincries indicate that large quantities
OF logs have been banked, and that the men are
busy getting out many more. The winter has
been very favorable for logging on the southern
peninsula Of Michigan, and good work has BEEN
done in the northern part Of the State, and in
Wisconsin, though not under such excellent
circumstances, the supply of snow there having
pecu insufficient. The sales OF wood, broom
corn, and hops were small: Seeds were firm
and quiet. Hay sold readily at recent prices.
The receipts Of potatoes were larger, and the
market not SO strong, the retail trade having
suddenly fallen of, and buyers seemed to be
waiting for lower range Of prices. Poultry
was III fair request.
