Tbis is chietijr owing to i'.\e Buction 8iileg advertized for tbe coining wccic, buyers in the West being so accustomed to hold ofT iu their orders at this scnson, in expectation of how the auctions will result. From the scarcity of stocks iu the Dominion generally, we can reasonably expect that a full range of prices will obtain, especially as the harvest bas been fully up to expectations, and so fitr farmers are obtaining very fair prices for their produce; this will enable them to pay up all indebted- ness to the storekeepors, .ind thus relievo the latter of their liabilities to the city merchants. COAL— We have little change to note in our coal market. American anthracite is very un- settled, and few transactions have taken place. In other coals little has been done, and no change in our quotations. COFFEE — Business has been very quiet; our quotations are fully maintained ; say Laguavra lUi to 17c; Maracaibo, 17 to 18c; Jamaica, 1(S to 18c ; Java, 25 to 28c ; Rio, 14J to 16c. CORKS— Fair demand at Wine, $1 to 1.50; Beer, 35 to 40c ; Soda, 40 to 50c ; Phial, Wis to 15c per gross. FRUIT — The market hero has ruled very steady, though sales have been light; prices are fully maintained. By last report.s from the London market, priies tliere are held very firm in concequence of tbe known short crops in the fruit-producing countries. In view of these reports and the approaching fall sales, neither iipilors nor buyers are inclined to operate, tbe Jutier only purchasing for immediate wants. nucos, DYKH Ksu (;iiio;k;a:.s.— The innrW't tor i»:,\ vcik iiioi'u ncthc for Caustic Soda Hfld .Soda Asli ; aimut 2<)" .,niri:- ot the former were soKlatSjc tor AVhia, • r.-'- 'rjUig^ thii! week. 160 drums have been sold .. ' tlie same price. Soda Ash : A sale was made of about (iO Ions at $1 80 per 100 lbs. There has been some sales of Bi-Carb, say 600 kegs, at 3jc; but since those have been made the market is effected much better, $3.20 to 3.25 being asked. That ordered now from borne would cost $3 50. FISH. — We have no change to report in the Fish Market, which remain unaltered at- last week's quotations. GLASS — There is rather more demand, and our quotations are fully maintained. MOLASSES.— Stock nearly exhausted ; prices have advanced 2c per gallon. We quote Cen- trifugal, 32 to 34c; Clayed, 38 to 42c; Trini- dad, lirbadoes and Cienfuegos, 46 to 60c per gallon. Syrups are in good demand at our ex- treme rates. NAVAL STORES.— There is no change in Spirits Turpentine. The demand still continues good, with stocks sufficient for present wants ; 47jC is the ruling ligure. Rosins move prettv freely at $2.75 for Strained, 3.25 for No. 2, 3,75 for No. 1, and 4.50 to 6.50 for Pale and Extra. Pine Tar and Pitch unchanged. Coal Tar and Pitch are in reqnest at $3. OILS— The market is bare of cod oil, which is in demand at 57 to 68c. No change in other fish oils. Olive oil remains tbe same as in our last report. PEiROLEUM— Demand^ very quiet at 30c in jobbing lots. PAINTS--! here is a good enquiry at Dry White Lead, per 100 lbs, »7.50 ; Dry Red Lead, 16.75 to 7,00 ; White Lead, No. 1, per keg, !^'2.40 to 2.50 ; do No. 2, $2.20 to 2.25. RICE — We have no change to make in our last week's quotations, at which there is a fair demand. SALT— The market for Liverpool coarse has been heavy and drooping since our last report. We note sales of 2,000 bags at COc and 1,000 at 61c, both with several lots of 200 to 500 bops at 62iC to 6<|c, and retail lots at 65c, all afloat. We note several cargoes going into store and withdrawn from the market for the present. Fine rcmaiuH, as in our last, 77j to 80c, accord- ing to size of lots. SPICES— We have to record a fair demand for the leading spices, and our quotations are fully maintained. SUGAR — We have had an animated demand this week, with lareo sales to the refiners on private terms. Prices have advanced ic per lb, with a strong upward tendency, it being es- timated that the deficiency in the crop ihis year will amount to 3i)0,000 tons, and the troubles continuing in Cuba are likely to decrease the crop ne.\t year one-half. Our quotations are HJ to9}C for fair to good Cuba; O.; to O.'c for Porto Rico and Barbadoes ; little to be had at inside figures. Refined have advanced Jc per lb during the week. Loaves are selling,' at 123c; Dry Crualied 12ic; Extra Ground 13ic; Crushed A lljc; Yellow refined »J to 10c. At those prices there is an active demand. TEAS — A stcaoy consumptive aemana con- tinues, and a fair jolbing trade has been done for the past week in all descriptions. Prices continues firm for desirable grades of green, twankays tend upwards, japan without cliango. Sales in wholesale parce's are restricted, and the market w'll probably remain quiet until public sale advertised for Wednesday next. TOBACCO— The market is very "firm for all grades, and extreme prices are donmnded; transactions however, during the week have been light, buyers not. being willing to fully give into tho views of sellers. We do not alter our quotations. WINES & LIQUORS-'The market is exceed- ingly dull, and we ha^'C nothing to add to our remaiks of last week.

WHOLESALE PRODE7CE niARKET. Business during the week has been more than usually quiet. There has been no excitement in the English markets, and the consequence is that trade here has felt the prevailing dull- ness. FLOUR- The market is very quiet, and prices during the week have steadily declined. For Strong Bakers' there has been an average de- mand at comparatively full prices; this is Ow- ing to the scarcity of such brands, spring wheat being very low in stock, and other qualities of wheat which have been used to use up with it not suiting the purpose, a low grade of flour bas been produced, which only commands low prices. The supply of ordinary grades Supers has been in excess of the demand, and conse- quently prices have ruled low. There is no en- quiry for shipment, and stocks are accumulat- ing. The general impression is that a further considerable decline must be submitted to be- fore the bottom is touched, and holders would wiiljrtnrlvr nlapo their stocks a.t n*'-seifiji ri^'^A l^it buyers are cautious; sales, therefore, are confined to local wants, and consequently, un- less cable reports are more favorable from Europe, great dullness or a decline must be ex- pected. We note sales to-day of 500 brls Wel- land Canal at f t.80, and a few hundred barrels ordinary Canndas at same price. We also hear of a sale of 1,0)0 brls at $4 70 to arrive. Strong Flour not in so much demand, and lower prices would be taki n. Fancy and Extra are nominul at quotation,? ; OOO brls No 2 br( u ,'ht $1.50 this afternoon. WHEAT— Tho receipts have been very laige, about 102,000 bushels having arrived '.j-duy. The bulk is of Red Winter, which is at |)re3ent difliciilt to sell, owing to the condition in wiiicli it comes forward. IJ. C. Spring in very scarce, and would sell at full prices. The market is very quiet ; the advance in the price of gold anil ditliciilty in selling exchange has nearly put a stop to operations Wo nolo tlio sale yesterdiiy of a cargo of Chicago No. 2 at $1.05, and tt>-c:a,v a cargo of Milwaukee No. 2 ii(, $1.02 J ; 4,000 bush of Illinois No. 2 Red Wlnt.r at $1.06. Tlieso sales, however, could not be repeated, as it can be laid down frou) the West at 4 cents under the inside price. U. C. Spring nominal. CORN— There is notliiug doing ; price-', oon- seqently, are pure y nominal. PEAS — Tho small lots that have come for- ward have not been up to the average ; they are worm-eaten and light, consequently no price has been fixed. The general opinion is that the crop will not be over an average, and the price will therefore depend on any dellcien- cy in Great Britain. BARLEY'— Only small lots arriving, but no prices fi.xed ; G8c to 70c is paid, but the proba- bility of the crop being large, although the quality is not up to tho usual mark, it is impos- sible to predict what will be tho rates. This is a question that entirely depends on the demand from the States. OATS— At present the prices fluctuate ac- cording to the qualit'- brought to market. The stock of old being entirely exhausted, that of new coming in from the country is very uncer- tain. There is no doubt that the crop is very heavy, and receipts likely to be large, so that unl^ there is a good demand from England p.',>.c?i must rule low.
