load or two of hay. The value of
breadstuffs is steady, cornmeal being
in heavy demand and firm. The stocks
Of all kinds of potatoes are running
down, no round lots having been re-
ceived for soversl days. The jobbing
trade has been and continues very
brisk, and the large supply of seed
qualities on hand a few weeks ago is
undergoing rapid reduction. Cut
meats are in scarce supply, and the
tone Of prices is easy. Poultry has
not been overly plentiful for a few
days back, while eggs have been run
ming down with a rush, selling at
present as low as 12c per dozen,
against Zoe last Monday and &c a
week before that. The supply is
abundant.
