Wheat receipts were somewhat heavier yester-
day, seventeen cars having been received. -Four
cars OF barley, two cars of rye, seven cars of
meat and sixty-fiye tons OF nay, by water, came
IN. No vessel has yet arrived 10 relieve the
elevator OF the blockade, though one is expected
every day. This blockade is the real cause of
the falling of in receipts, as there is no room 10
handle the grain. General shipments and re-
eelpts were very heavy yesterday. Among the
shipments were ten cars OF shingles, three cars
OF bricks, two cars OF fish and one car of pipe.
M change was noted in prices beyond another
slight cut In cured meats. The butter market
continues very firm. The oats market is very
stiff, but no advance has been noted. Choice
stock Is not abundant. The first lot of new
oranges OF the season came il, yesterday and
were quoted at si.25.
J. c. Nixon has Just received dispatch from
the agent of Lampson & Co., London, informing
him OF the sale of his 200 seal skins at - per
cent. higher than March prices, the average
being about IS shillings apiece. Deducting SOS
freight and 2l2 per cent. commission, Mr.. Nixon
will net over 81 600 IRON the sale. He offered
$3.50 apiece for them here some time before
shipping, but as he lost by not shipping TO Lon
don last year he thought he would take chances
on the London market this year. But as it has
turned out, he would have received nearly
$3.50 more by accepting the offer he received at
home. The price received was much better
than reports from Victoria regarding the con-
dition OF the London market would indicate.
In the retail trade the only features of inter
est are drop OF 10 cents in California -four, and
granulatcd sugar is now sold at nineteen pounds
for 81 instead of eighteen. Cranberries are Is
cents per gallon lower and celery and cauli-
flower are also cheaper. The meat and poultry
trade is improving and the few turkeys that
came in found ready sale at - cents per pound.
The fish and oyster trade is fair
