This defect will be remedied, however, when all things are 
once more in trim, and our good ship leaves port on her

Flour -The only change observable is in that made from 
Spring Wheat, and here an advance equal to 25 cents per 
barrel on choice ha# been effected Buckwheat is declining, 
the falling off being in tho range of 12fa'25 cents. 
Grain—W heat at last quoted rates. Corn drooping, and 
now selling 3fh'5 cents per bushel lower than at date of last 
report. Oataarein tho same category 2^(53cent#being 
taken off. 
Hat—T he large quantity of coarse fodder in market him 
affected the rate# for Hay, and a depression iD prices is the 
result. Hay is worth *12@20 per tou; Straw, $10; Corn 
Stalks, $10. A very great amount of both Straw and Corn 
Stalk# have been sold in Rochester the present winter; in¬ 
deed, weTiave seen more offered on some single days than

this Heusim is about aSftOOO, with the expected receipt* of 
about 2U,0Whead more, chiefly from Irebunu.- Courier. 
CINCINNATI, U., Dkc. 2fi.—Yesterday, tho long expected 
falling off in the receipts took place,and iu Urn toiennon 
holder# became greatly excited, anil aeemod careful about 
naming a price, lest they might b.* “ picked up.” An ad- 
vauef of fullv 25c per cental was established, hut when all 
parties met on 'Change, arid a# soon as it wa# found that 
fniyers were not a# excited a# sellers, there was an evident 
disappointment and Gift tbnVIngs of owtlltri boCAU'C UIDI‘0 
suhqueil, and the market eloaed tame. 
The receipt# of Hogs during the week hy the various

THE WOOL MARKET*. 
NEW YORK, Dec. 28, The deihaud is quite limited, as 
usual 'luring Holiday week, but. the supply is insufficient to 
meet tho want* of i he trade, and price# arc firmly maintain¬ 
ed, and are likely to continue high till too next clip come# 
on the market. The stock in the hand# of inanulantnrers i# 
becoming reduced, and a# they have bought sparingly re¬ 
cently, it is anticipated that ore long many of them at least 
will be obliged to enter the marki-t fnT supplies. An auction 
sale is announced In Boston for the I2t>, of January; this 
will probably draw out the trade and stimulate the demand.
