Gold has been down to 131‘/„ up to 137‘/j, and closes at 
1353^ Breadstiiffs have been less freely offered, and also 
in icss active request. Prices Improved early in the month 
but have been variable and rather depressed/or two 
weeks past. There is now more firmness apparent, an 
holders evince more confidence in the immediate foture, 
though the demand is not very brisk. 7!*°. 
ness has been checked by the scarcity of desirable freight 
room. Receipts from tlic interior have recently been very 
light and the available supplies have been diminishing 
since the opening of the new year. We give, ac¬ 
companying tabular statements, a comparative exhibit of 
the stocks of Hour and grain on hand at this port, Jan 1, in 
Sc L too yc.™. Thl., will, the

375,000 hales; estimated stock now here, 105,000 bales' 
and at all the ports, at latest mail dates, 548,000 bales. 
ool has been in moderate request for manufacturing pur¬ 
poses, and there has been more firmness, without any re¬ 
markable buoyancy in prices. The stock of domestic 
fleece in this market on January 1st, ivas 4,450,000 lbs • 
of domestic pulled, 800,000 lbs.; of Texas, California anti 
Oregon, 2,080,000 lbs., making the total stock of domestic

been estimated at 137,000,000 lbs., yielding about fifty per 
cent, of clean, pure wool_Tobacco has been in more 
demand at steady rates. Hay and Hops have been in bet¬ 
ter request and firmer.... Seeds, Rice and Hemp have been 
quiet and rather heavy in price.
