Stocks were unusual!} quiet. Secretary ”Win
dom's decision had been discounted,and pro
duced no effect upon prices. Money was easy,
St. Paul showed some galvanic activity, ** a bob

hard to put up the quotations. Gould -.was said
to bo buying Jersey Central. Leading operators
generally were doing little. It has been decided
by the Philadelphia Courts that all the stock
holders can vote in the election to-morrow.
Chesapeake & Ohio was an object of now inter
est, os was Manhattan. There was a good deal
of talk about the freight war between the
tnjnk lines, and the losses by the weather, but
the effect on prices was insignificant. Points to
buy Kansas & Texas were in circulation.
Comparing closing quotatlonswitb those of the.

tho market became firmer, and an advance of M

Reading, and Chesapeake & Ohio leading the up

Chattanooga reacted t and tho general list U to

the market again became firm, and prices sold
upktobi, Chicago, St. Louis & New Orleans
and St. Paul being most prominent in the ad-*
vance. In the last hour- there was a little more
activity, purchases of stock having been made
uu a report ■ that the Treasury will next
week buy $10,000,000 in bonds. That there will
be a Treasury purchase or bonds is not unlikely,
but it is doubted whether any such amount will
be taken. The action of Secretary Wlndora in
deciding against tho return of greenbacks to
the National-banks is cordially indorsed by
hankers and brokers.
The Mexican National Railroad (Palmer Sulli

The loading produce markets were moderately
active Saturday, and Irregular. All were higher
at about the opening of business, and all fell off
later, then rnled steady. Grain simply lost the
advance of the previous afternoon, while pro
visions did not stop till they had gone past that
point. The weather was bad, with news of an
other severe storm raging in the Northwest.
But It was thought a good time to sell, and sell
ers preponderated, though it was scarcely true
(asonce remarked) that “more was sold than
was. bought.” Mess pork closed 6c lower, at
$15.4714®15.50 for April and $15.G214®15.C5 for
May. Lard closed 714 - lower, at $10.55@10.r>7‘4
for April and $10.56®10.C7)4 for May. Short ribs
closed 10c lower, at $7.6T)4@7.90 for May. Wheat
closed )b@}£c lower, at Sl.ooH®l.oo}£ for April
and 1.047* for May. Corn closed steady,
atSSHcbid for April and 42J£c bid for May.
Oats closed steady at about 207*0 for regular,
31Xc for gilt-ecigca;-April, 2DXc; May, 3354 c: and
Juno. 33Jic. Uye closed Ann at 9Sc for gilt
edged No. 2,9 Tc for April, and §1.0014 bid for
May, Barley closed firm at $1.03 for No, 2 cash.
87c for No. .3, arid SOc for No. 4: No. 3. for April
sold at 87c. Hogs were active and stronger «c
$5.50®5.80 for light and- at $5.40@0.i}0 for heavy.
Cattlo were steady at $2.75@6,00 for poor to
extra.
Dry goods was reported In fair demand, with
no important fluctuation In values. Buyers are
not very numerous as yet, but the number now
shows a dally increase, and the next few anys
are expected to see a quite marked increase in
the volume of sales. Boots and shoes were quot
ed quiet and steady. Rubber goods continue to
meet with a liberal demand, and, as the market
Is bare of stock, fully laio prices are being real
ized. No important change in values of staple
and fancy groceries were noted, though there
was a very Ann feeling both In sugars and cof
fees. Trade was quiet so far as new business
was concerned, though considerable was doing
in tho way of lllhmr back orders. Butter and
cheese were in good request at sustained prices.
Dried fruits and flsh were reasonably active and
Arm. There was a dull market for oils, and
prices of carbon look a big tumble, declining
l?4@ic. Elaine is now quoted at 20c, snow whito
at loffe, 150 test at 13?ic, and 110 test at 11c.
Lard-oil was firmer, and extra was advanced 2c,
now quoted at 83c.
The Klnzio street markets for broom-corn,
hides, and wool were fairly active and steady.
Tho receipts of hides aro still very large. Build
ing materials are in active demand without
change in quotations. Eggs were lu light sup
ply and Arm at22<&24c per doz. Grease 4ind tal
low were steady, with little business doing in
cither department. A steady trade exists in
green fruits, tho better qualities still com
manding higher figures.* In hogs there is
a liberal trade, with a small advance' in
the choice descriptions. There is no change to
note in the condition of the lumber trade. Po
tatoes continue Arm at quotations. In salt there
is no change to note. The market for timothy
seed was steady, that for clover weak, and Uax
was barely steady. Clover sold slightly under
Friday's prices. Dressed hogs were quiet at
$0.50 per 100 lbs for choice. Cooperage was un
changed.
During 1880 tho manufacture of bog meats in
Ibis country for shipment aggregated about
925.000 tons, and of lard 225,000 tons. The for
eign exports during tbo same lime were about
450.000 tons of meats and 21)5.000 Cons of lard.
A telegram from Nashua, lu.: " Storm sad as
any this winter. Railroads doing nothing .till
next week.” This seems to bo pretty generally
the coso over a very large part of the North
west.
HOG PRODUCTS—Wero fairly active, and very
much unsettled, ranging higher early under the wide
spread belief tbut there was going to be n further ad
vance, and tumbling back sharply when it was found
that there were few buyers at tho enhanced quota
tions. At the resulting decline buyers were more
willing to take bold, und the consequence was more
doing, with more steadiness.' Liverpool reported the
unusual advance of Is 6d In lard und Is in meats,
while tho local hog market was tinner, but there was
too much stuff offered here by prominent parties who
were satisfied to take in a good round profit and run
the chance of being able -to get in again at lowor
figures. Tho packing of this city to date since the close
of February Is estimated at only about 51,uu0 bogs,
against IW.UOJ for the same time in 1330, andB3.UX) for

o’clock some cables reported a better demand in En
gland, with a little tlffening in prices. Our receipts
were again smt'.er, with another storm threaten-
ing to keep them at a very low 'point for
some time in the future. But our- stocks
seemed to have increased over 33,000 bu
during the weekand a local operator was actively sell
ing a rather long line, which induced others to follow
his example In a smaller way, and the result was
lower prices, at which there was an Improved de
