Financial and commercial.
Bonds and Stocks--The chief item of interest in the stock market is the further advance in Confederate bonds, 15,000,000 coupons, which are now quotable at 200. Bonds of the 100,000,000, long dates, are firm at 110; short date bonds 103@106. We quote Virginia sixes, registered, at 112 and int. Bank, Insurance, and Railroad stocks remain at last quotations. Messrs. Davenport & Co.'s weekly auction sale did not take place on Saturday.
Produce, &c.--Prices in some of the leading departments of trade are somewhat irregular. In our last report Bacon was quoted with a margin of from $1.15 to $1.30. We since hear of sales at $1.20 to $1.30 for hoground, which we give as the present quotation. Beans and Peas are not so firm; we quote $18@20 per bushel. Butter $2.25@3. Corn $6@6.50 per bushel. Corn Meal is irregular; sales at $6.75, $7, and $7.50 per bushel. Candles — Tallow $2.50@3. Dried Apples $10@13; do. Peaches $15@18. Flour — Superfine $31@32; Extra $34; Family $35@36. Oats have declined; we note sales at $5 per bushel. Wheat — Very little offering; we still quote $6.50@7 per bushel for prime qualities of red and white.

An extra fine article would go as high as $90.
