MARKETS & MARKETING (Cont'd)<br />
1477 - L Mar. 11: 3/3 - The wheat market IS in the same quiet and inactive<br />
state as previously noted. During this week there has been very little<br />
doing, both buyers and sellers being backward and not generally disposed<br />
to make any engagements of any extent.<br />
The market for corn is unchanged.<br />
In rye there has been very little doing. Among operators the feeling<br />
has not improved, and buyers are generally averse to further transactions<br />
except at lower prices.<br />
In flour there is a little better feeling, and prices of lower grades<br />
have somewhat recovered from the opening rates of the week, which had<br />
considerably fallen from those of the week before. Receipts, although<br />
fair for the season, are light in the aggregate; the demand is mostly<br />
limited to the wants of the city.<br />
All descriptions of leather are firm, russet extras excepted, the latter<br />
having experienced a slight decline.<br />
In provisions there is no change of importance to be noticed. The<br />
markets continue dull and inactive as at our last date. Foreign advices<br />
contain nothing especially encouraging to the trade, but the latest advices<br />
froIll the east quote prices a shade higher. In our own market there<br />
is scarcely anything doing. Holders of :ness pork are steady, but the<br />
market is not at all firm, and there are bu.t few buyers just now at any<br />
price. In order to make a sale it is probable that lower prices would<br />
have to be accepted.<br />
The butter stock is very light, as also are receipts, but the demand is<br />
limited to city wants and there are no large sales to note.<br />
A quantity of coarse salt held by packers for packing purposes has been<br />
placed on the market, and the stock for sale in the hands of wholesale<br />
dealers is somewhat increased in consequence.<br />
The dover seei market is well stocked, most of which is intended for<br />
southern markets on the opening of the Ohio river. (8)<br />
1478 - L Mar. 25:3/3 - The weather has changed and the effect upon our<br />
jobbing trade has been satisfactory to dealers.<br />
The wheat market has been more irregular than before. The market is<br />
very much depressed; millers, the only buyers, are inquiring only for<br />
prime samples.<br />
The market for corn has conta ined dull and prices have aga in dropped.<br />
Oats are in iight demand, and prices are lower. Buyers are not very<br />
anxious to buy, except to supply immediate demands.<br />
The flour market opened weak, with limited sales to the local trade.<br />
The advent of milder weather has permi tted dealers to close up packing<br />
operations. (4)<br />
1479 - L Apr. 1:3/3 - During the past week, the two Liverpool arrivals<br />
reported an upward tendency in flour, and a buoyant feeling among holders<br />
here has resulted.<br />
There is no change in the general tendency of the wheat market.<br />
Tn leather, there is nothing remarkable to note other than to call<br />
attention to the quotations. Business is brisk and dealers are busy.<br />
