Produce exchange.

The business OF the board this morning was
very light indeed. and trading was very lin
tied. No one seemed TO desire TO touch any
thing ia the present state OF the market, and
while sellers were Offering in large amounts,
buyers were determined TO get better prices
or not purchase. The result was that but
little was done. The sample dealers too,
were compelled 10 take home their wares
Butter is unchanged, baled hay was little
higher, live hogs fell OF, eggs unchanged
Poultry was dull and no sales were made.
The weather has become cold and possibly
this may stimulate trade IN this line. The
