RIPOSTKD DAILY BT WM. M. BARNKft. Atlanta, April 22, 1801. Yesterday's work wss of the most promising character. A buoyancy iu Produce is manifest, which is quite satisfactory to our dealers, and large and remunerative sales were made. Corn is in very active demand again, and prices are firm at from 81($83 for Yellow; 87 (ip91 for Whits; 80@85 for Inferior White. Bacon is freoly bought at 10, 12 and 13, for Shoulders, Hams sod Sides. Some large trans- actions have been made at a shade less. Flour is moving readily, and the demand ex hibits a marked improvement. Eveiy quality can be obtained at trom $8@$9— a fair article can be bought for $7 25. Lard is steady at 124(g) 13c. Groceries aud Provisions generally are in fair demand, and the market is favorable to buy ers. In Dry Goods and other branches, trade seema to be prospering, and the prospect of a fair orop year is already being felt agreeably by our merchants. The rash of freight from the West is slack ing off, and goods come through now without extra oharges at Nashville. The odds and ends of lots are arriving, which is a sure indication that the warehouses are cleared. No rumors of detained freight any where but Cincinnati. St. Louis stands firm, and a large number of the river boats have offered to transport 100 troops, asch, to New Orleans Jree, which speaks well for the Missourians. This is the principal point at which our supplies were bought, and, with Louisville, can furnish all that may here after be needed. The Cincinnati papers say the detained goods were to preserve them from destruction by the mob, 4c.—others say they are charged with treason if they ship South, and don't know what to do. To these we only reply that we consider it a disgrace to buy in Cincinnati from our opponents, and we will not subject you to accusation by your community. Receipts per Western 4 Atlantic Railroad for Atlanta yesterday were as follows: Corn.. 2,784 sacks. Flour 218 barrels. Bacon 185 hogshead* and 27 boxes. Lard 340 packages. Wheat 228 bags.
