The wholesale produce market is
livolier to day than it has been for
nearly a month past. Three fatboats
loaded with potatoes aud feedstuffs
from the lower Ohio, and the regular
packet Shiukle from the same direc-
ton with a full cargo are among the
offerings. and buyers as well as sellers
are moving briskly on the landing in
consequence The feed market is
quoted steady, several dealers being
out of hay and corn. Breadstuffs are
easier, and in some instances lower.
Meats barely sustain the recent ad-
vance, while an easier feeling prevails
sor lard. Eggs are lower and more
abundant, and poultry exhibits good
demand at steady figures. Coffee,
sugar and other groceries are generally
rultag steady.
