porting the receipts Of leading articles
of necessity. The total arrivals Of

145O bales of hay, of which more than
half was Southern prairie, $50 bbls

include all that has come upon the

A firm feeling is reported for meal and
corn; -four is quiet with light trans
actions from first hands; hay is slow
to sell, oats move in small lots only;
bran is not very brisk; potatoes are
in an uncertain condition, and apples
are firm. A better feeling prevails for
poultry, both live and dressed, while
eggs are weak and plentiful.
