1178 - L. Mar. 21:4/6 - I,ittle can be said of today's market, except that
the dullness of the week continues. The receipts of grain are in excess
of the demand and the prospect of full storehouses, unless an improve-
ment is reached, is most flattering. There was scarcely any inquiry
for corn, and the prices are nominal. Highwines are inactive with but
little inquiry. Prime butter is in demand and sells readily. Seeds
are dull; timothy is somewhat unsettled. The demand for flour is chief-
ly for home trade. (2)

1179 - L. Mar. 22:4/6 - The prevailing decline of last week was realized
in the market today. Business, so far as sales are concerned, is vir-
tually at a standstill. Three light movements of grain occurred during
the day, with scarcely anything worthy of note in the provision line.
The quotations of Mar. 19 were maintained. Grain receipts continue
largely in excess of the demand. (2)

1180 - L. Apr. 1:4/5 - The market today was very quiet; the show in corn
and wheat almost entirely subsided. The cause for this is found in the
unsettled condition of gold and the eastern markets, operating upon the
action of buyers and sellers. Holders, however, are generally firm,
and prices well maintained. (1)

1182 - L. May 2:4/6 - The receipts for wheat and corn for the week have
been somewhat in excess of those of the previous week. -
The wheat market has been extremely dull, heavy, and unsettled, and
though no material change has been made in prices from last week, the
tendency is toward a decline. Shippers have been holding back for a
lower market. -
Flour has been quiet during the week, the demand coming from home
trade. The sales reported do not show any changes from last week, but
the present prices of wheat hardly justify lower flour prices. Until
there is a radical decline in wheat, flour prices shall not be quoted
below present figures.
Corn has been only in moderate request, and the closing figures of
last week have been maintained.
Oats have received only a moderate inquiry, but were ruled firm from
store, a decline of l; being noted on Apr. 9. Rye and barley have
been without movement.
Provisions have been active and bouyant throughout the week, and
most articles have advanced. The market is firm.
Butter and eggs are generally quiet and prices have declined 3g on
the butter and l; on the eggs. There is a fair supply of new butter
coming in. -
Highwines have been dull all week. On Apr. 29, a panic seized the
market, in consequence of the passage by the House of Representatives
of Washburne's resolution, which calls for taxing stock on hand. Prices
dropped from $1.15 to $1.05 Q $1.07; the market closed very weak.
The grocery market is excited, as all articles have advanced, and
stocks are not large. The holders are very firm. -
Lake fish have advanced and are in good demand and firm at present
quotations. -
Most kinds of lumber have advanced, and the demand is active, with
free arrivals. Salt advanced 20g per barrel.
Petroleum, influenced by congressional action, advanced and the price
was maintained throughout the week. (10)

1183 - L. May 16:4/6 - The past week has been the dullest ever to be
remembered. For the past ten days, everyone's attention has been drawn
to the military operations in Virginia. -
This market during the week has been dull and inactive, scarcely
enough doing from day to day to establish prices. Most of the time we
have been compelled to give only nominal quotations. (6)

1186 - L June 17:4/6 - Now that the speculative mania is held in sub-
ordination by threatened legislation, speculation has sought a new
field, and the great staples, wheat, and pork have become the objects
of its present attention. It is not shown that there is an increased
demand for these commodities, either on home or foreign account, but
on the contrary a diminution in the regular channel. (3)

1187 - L. July 1:4/6 - The quiet that succeeded yesterday's excitement
in the leading markets brought matters here to a pause and disposed
operators to await further developments before entering into the specu-
lative field. There was still considerable feeling in flour ard wheat,
and were it not for the extreme stringency of the currency market, oper-
ations would doubtless be upon a much enlarged scale.
The demand for fish is active, induced by the high prices of meats,
and dealers report a further advance on whitefish due to its scarcity. , (4)

steady; cheese firm and in fair demand; petroleum quiet and firm. (11)

1190 - L. July 15:4/5 - The receipts of grain today by rail and canal
are larger than for any day in several months.
The markets all day have been stagnant. There has been no demand
at all for wheat or flour, and there have not been enough transactions
to establish quotations. (2)

1191 - L. Aug. 1:4/6 - There was nothing done on the exchange with the
exception of the sale of red wheat on the track at $2.08. The market
closed dull and heavy, after one of the most inactive and spiritless
weeks ever known at this season of the year, when, generally, everything
is moving freely. The new wheat crop will probably start moving in the
course of a few weeks, and the old stock will have to be gotten out of
the way at some price to make room for it. Flour has been a drug on the
market for the past two weeks, with the stock large and daily increasing.
There is no material change in provisions or other leading articles, ex-
cept a $2 incline on pork; and all have been ruled dull or inactive, ex-
cept for one or two articles of smoked meats. (5)

1192 - L. Aug. 15:4/6 - In the grain market there is the same dullness
and inactivity as has prevailed for the past ten days.
After the New York report was read at the board of trade, there was
a firmer feeling in wheat and a better demand for city and interior
millers, but nothing to show a decided improvement in price or demand,
as there was no shipping demand. Inquiries were confined to the choic-
est samples on the track and the prices obtained would hardly be a
fair criterion of the state of the market. (3)

1194 - L. Sept. 1:4/6 - It should be understood that all sales of grain
made on this market are from store. This is according to the new
regulations of the board of trade.
The receipts were small, and the market this morning was dull and
inactive. The news from New York, showing an advance in gold and pro
duce, had only the effect to make the market a little firmer. -
Salt has arrived more freely within the past few days and there is
now a liberal stock on the market. - - (3)

1195 - L. Sept. 15:4/7 - There was no improvement in the receipts of
grain by rail and canal today, hardly enough coming forward to supply
the daily wants. The upward trend of gold yesterday afternoon hardened
the market here, and there was considerable more firmness in produce.
The stock of flour being light and the demand fair, prices have been
well sustained, and no material change has taken place for a week.
There is not much doing in provisions; the market remains as pre-
viously reported. Eggs are scarce and under a good demand, and are ad-
vancing. . . . . . . . ."
Petroleum and highwines keep quiet and steady with only a light home
demand at nominal rates. - - - (5)

1196 - L. Oct. 10:4/7 - The past week has been one of great depression
in the markets for all kinds of grain and produce, and the transactions
have been very limited, as buyers have no confidence in the stability of
the market from day to day. (1)

more firmness in produce in this market, and an advance is noticed on
nearly all the prices. There was more disposition to buy, but buyers
and sellers being apart in their views, few transactions were reported.(1)

sales show an aivance of 22, and 3g on wheat over the closing rates of
Oct. 29. Flour is in moderate request and the market is firm. Corn is
firm and in light receipt, but the demand is not heavy. Oats are dull
and nominally unchanged. (2)

1199 - L Nov. 15:4/7 - Grain receipts by rail and canal continue light.
Flour is firm and steady with fair demand. There was a considerable
feeling in the grain market, with an increased firmness especially for
corn, but the transactions were limited and wheat sales were the same
as of Nov. 11. The margin in the price of grain between this port and
Buffalo is fair for ordinary times, but rates on freight, insurance, and
other expenses have so advanced that little can be made, even at the
liberal margin now existing, and but little is being shipped. (4)

1200 - L. Dec. 1:4/7 - The receipts of grain by rail today equal about
as much as for any day during the past year. The market on the river
this morning was dull and quiet. At the board this afternoon, grain
took a downward turn, and a decline of 22 took place in wheat. Corn
was dull and nominally lower. (1)

1201 - L. Dec. 15:4/5 - The receipts of grain continue small. There is
much inquiry for wheat for city and country trade, but the great lack
of cars prevents shipments by rail to any extent, and the transactions
are limited. With a light stock on hand and small receipts, prices
are well maintained. (3)
