the weather in the main being favora,
BILE, both for trade and the agricultural
interest. But one day Of stormy
weather has been experienced, and
the country roads are in excellent or.
der for travel. Up north severe snow
and wind storms have prevailed, suS'
pending transportation over a wide
area and keeping back much produce
and supplies destined to various mar
kets, our own among the number. A
considerable quantity Of hay and Other
feed has reached c~onsignees here in
jured by SHOWS, and necessarily found
sale at greatly reduced value. W.
have to report an active demand fol
all grades Of -four, nearly 5000 barrels
having come in during the week, and
but little remains in first hands. Poor
grades, SO long neglected, are again in
-
fair request, and prices for all classes
are fully sustained. Indeed feed and
breadstufs indicate no decrease in
value for any article. In iron, cotton
and wool the markets rule in favor Of
buyers. Coal in eastern markets is
dropping, though in the southwest
prospects favor high prices through
the summer and fall season. Coffee
has dropped ] to DC per ID, and tends
toward cheaper figures, while sugar is
advancing, being / to &c above a week
ago. During the week just closed our
receipts Of meal excited 5000 bills be-
sides home mill production. OF corn
5000 SKIS has arrived and found ready
sale. Oats has sold to the amount Of
1000 SKIS, and dealers are not over well
supplied. Bran arrived 1900 SKIS in
quantity. Hay to the extent of only
900 bales arrived, and the supply is
therefore light. Apples came in more
freely than the market required, much
off stock going at low figures and al
grades looking lower. Potatoes have
also been coming in liberal quantities,
and the seed seasonbeing about over
values look downward. Table grades,
however, are in good demand at faiI
prices,
