WHEAT-The market lacks spirit. Receipts ar,
coming in freely from all directions, and many con
sgnments placed in warehouses to await better
demand. Shippers seem positive in their determine
ton not to buy at current rates. unless concessions
be made in freights. Business on Change to-day wa
restricted only lot OF consequence being sod fol
export. while the purchases on milling account did
not swell to very large aggregate: Liverpool adj

and asking prices indicate easier market for feed

to load Cheyslier, but we obtained no authentic in
formation. II is pretty generally understood, how
ever, that the English market will take every pound
up to the stand I'd, though anything not strictly
full weight will be hard to place sales to-day in

-HAY-Choice is wanted at full rates. Cargo lots
on the wharf range from IS to SlS so q ton.
HoPs-Samples of the newcrop on the market,
but no parcels have yet been placed. We nominally
quote tue range at 35d40c u h.
FRUIT-Prices are more OF less nominal. Dealers
to-day are generally disposed to shade our quota
tons, so as to reduce the stock on hand. Peaches
are coming in too freely to be handled with any
to-day. The canneries OF course are the best Gus
toners, but the capacities of some of these eStab-
lshments are curtaied for want of help, while
others reported to be working very long hours.
The trouble jas is that all varieties are coming
in at once, rendering it almost impossible for each
description 10 obtain proper attention. The Bart
lett Pear s favorite variety for preserving, but
that is receiving little recognition at the moment
Apricots do seem to be wanted at any price,
though few weeks since there great competi-
ton for orchard crops, Cant loupes and Watermel-
ons are in good favor at declining figures. Fol-
lowing are quotations for jobbing lots: Apples
