while the situation is so unsettled and
inclining downward. No two Of the
western supply markets show uni.
frmity in quotations, the variation
being over So per Dbl on mess pork,
and other meats from % to 80 cents
per cwt. Lard is droopy, and from /
to 10 below last weeks figures, mess
pork $3.50 per barrel lower in some
markets. Wheat is down Sc per
bushel, and -four has fallen a little
during the past few days, though
there is very little difference in value
from prices of a week ago. Oats are
&c per bushel lower in the west, but
are a little stiff here, and corn is
lc per bushel higher. Coffee
is cent per ID. lower, and
sugar to lc down. Whisky, wholly
unchanged. Rice, the same. An
easier feeling aud slightly lower quo
tatlons rule in bagsing. Poultry, a
steady feeling and movement has
ruled, and eggs are slightly higher.
Butter is weak, especially for lower
qualities. Apples moved freely, and
sound stock sold readily atgoOd prices,
but poor packed or slightly unsound
have brought low figures, Freights
are much unsettled, and this has con-
tributed to disturb the market. Boats
from st. Louis, owing to an opposition
line having entered between that
point and Helena. have put rates down
to Zoe per hundred weight and zoe
per barrel, just half the ruling figures
ola week ago. We have enjoyed very
favorable weather for cotton picking.
and several %irosts, the first Of the sea-
son, appearing. The first killing
frost occurred during Friday night.
The general out turn of cotton for
the section adjacent to this market is
likely to be heavier than was estimated
ten days ago, the influence of favora.
Bile ripening and picking weather caus-
ing a decided change for the better.
