Port receipts were about the same as last year, but the october re- ceipts were above those of last year. The actual coming in sight for twenty-one days being 1859 PA, against 1,223,73O last year. This great volume of movement outweighed the rains and fears of frosts following and the market became extremely dull and mar row, but the tendency was downward with prices closing about the same as those of last night.
