A reduction of 20@40 per cent In the fees for inspecting provisions s aunonnced by the Chief Inspector, The leading prodnce markets were generally tteady yesterday, there being little fuctnation in ‘prices, Barley was firmer, and hoga declined as & consequence of diminished demand on account of the strike In pome of the packing-houses. Thbis, with unfavorable advices from England, tended to ‘make proviaions easler, bat they were relatjvely firm and more active. There wau littla change in the quotations on wheat, corn, oats, or rye. Jobbers of staple and fancy dry goods were not dolng a very hrisk business, the demand being restricted to small orders of a miscellaneous char. acter for the reassortment of wstock. Prices remained steady, Groceries were in good de- mand, and ruled steady and firm. Coflcen were moving quite freely, aod s libe eral Inquiry for sirups, molasses, spices, and tess wi s0 noted. No changes were do- veloped In the butter and cheese markots, A good demand for the former existed, but the Iatter was dull and heavy. Dried fruits were quotea as before, In the sh market there Was no change, Cannad goode met with & lberst demand, and peschee and all small fruits were very firm, Olls, paints, and colors were quoted - fore. Tobacco, leather, cual, and wood were also unchanged.

Seeds were quiet, timo. thy being firm, snd other kindu rather esey. The hide marketwas faitly active at the given prices. Potatoes were salablo and firm under meagre offerings, the cooler westher making shippers afraid to forward stock. Pouliry was in botter request and drmor, under rather moderate supplies of fresh fowls. The old stock ls disap- pearing, The weather s cooler, and the week closen with a better outiook for poultry and zame, Rail frelghts were nominal at the ndvance of Jai week.
