Among the Commission Men.

The wholesale produce market is dull and
quiet, the only things showing any vitality being
fruits and vegetables, which care very active.
Butter is suiet and dull, but holders maintain
prices. Provisions are very firm, and bacon hams
and cheese are q shade higher. Mess pork is
very firm andS higher; dressed meats are quiet
but steady; flour dull; hides, talow and wool
heavy; brewers materials steady lnseed oil,
cake and mea are weak and lower; live poultry
in good demand, with light receipts. Fruits are
very active; receipts are increasing and prices
lower. Vegetables plentiful and of excellent
quality, and were never shipped in better condi
ton, nor so cheap.
