On Friday aud Saturday the demand was somewhat ir leguiar, ai t m -s leading holders to stiffoa up, and sgaln causing them . o give way. Saturday evening closed with n little bette fe lia;; on the lower gr. des. Monday m sra In opened steady, with a lair demand for ?oed g ade-, but without any deeded cha ge in p ices u ti toward the close, whoa h Ide rs became more ann. and the m-rket a osed with an a vane ns tendency. lhere was a f. r inquiry on Tuesday and Wednesday, ttie mark> t on the evening of the latter day becoming s mewhat excited on the news of an advance ot ?d iu Liverpoo. This was. h wever, received oo late to have ?ny tfleet on price - that day, and the market closed firm, with quotations nominally unchanged. Our marget to-dty has not experienced the advanee that was expected last rvoning, ou ac. omit ot tho Liver? pool ma ket going up ?d. buyer* generally would not give an advance on their yesterday's figures, although there was a good demand in the early part ol' the day for go-- d grades The sales arc small on account ot factors aaki g an advance that buyers will not concede to. The lower grades are neglected, and it is Impossible to give a lair quotation further. When they arc sold it is most.y at the buyer's offer. Ihe nows from New York gives a arm market, wiih a slight advance, and Liverpool remains steady at 7?d for Uplands, an/ ia tho face of this we are not sole to give any decided advice lrom our last quotation.
