HOees WIN VIC supply large anu Tue
demand only moderate. In some
western markets values are cent or
so per bu higher than lest week, but
here sales show a cent or two decline.
Oornmeal in sympathy with corn
added to a slack demand but little
more than local, is cheaper. The
week s receipts have been but 525 bbls
and home mills are doing very little.
In meats but car loads of dry
sailed qualities have been brought
here during the week, and the
total receipts for the past 4 weeks
sum up only 60 carloads, while for the
week ending March 18th, 70 car loads
arrived. Strenuous efforts have been
made to advance prices during the
past week, but they have failed except
in this market, where a strong feeling
rules owing to scarce stocks. At New
Orleans smoked meats are &c below
week ago, and dry salts are easier.
At Chicago and other Western points
values are about Zoe per cwt cheaper
than last week. Less than 500 SKIS of
oats arrived here during the past
week, and the tone is quiet, Bran
is also in very limited movement,
total receipts being but $50 SKIS, and
values are lower. The same may be
said Of all classes of potatoes. Only
75s bbls have been brought here
during the week, and values are UNI
settled, really almost nominal. Sew
eral shipments Of the new crop from
New Orleans have arrived, and prices
have dropped to- 81 80 per 3-peck box
on arrival Sugar and rice are shade
lower than last week, while coffee is
J to &c higher. There is little of in.
tcrcst in the poultry market. Geese,
ducks and turkeys are about out of
season, while chickens are easy at SOC
per dozen cheaper for full grown. A
few coops of very small ones of the
spring crop arrived and sold at So

settled, selling as high as zoe per dozen
on Monday and Tuesday, but declin>
ing later, and closing lower at lac per
