Tuesday Evening, Feb. 81, ls6o.
i Inc weather during the week ending with thi
evening has been very favorable to the marketing
Of produce. With the exception of last Thurs
/ day morning it has been very moderate-yester
day and today being quite Springlike.
There has been no particular excitement il
/ produce circles and but little change in quota
! tions. Wheat advanced 1d2c Yesterday, OWN.
to strong competition among buyers There ar,
three classes Of buyers in the market at present
viz the ncrs, who are ruled by tho price o.
flour; inc shippers, who governed by the
fluctuations Of the Chicago market and those
who buy TO store until the opening Of navigation
with the purpose of shipping 10 st. l.ouis. One
firm Of the latter Class buy tho bulk or at leas,
the halt Of the receipts, and have now in store
.fny-sercn thousand bushels.
Corn closed shade lower than last Tuesday s
quotations, with two less buyers in the
market, and slaokened demand. There i. now
about sxty-one IT, ousand bushels in stere which
! has Deen bought at an average of about twenty
eight cents per bushel. Most cf those storing have
got their warehouses full, and are waiting for a
chance to convert their stock into money at a
price that will leave profit for their winters
work. The larger part Of thi. will 60 to the st.
Louis market, as freight charges On the river are
les than by railroad and the experience Of pas.
seasons proves that it is the best market to sell in
as regards the cas ilcation OF grain, compared
with Chicago.
The transactions in Oats this week have been
but small there being no foreign demand and the
margin between here sand Chicago entirely too
small TO allow shipping. The market, however,
has been steady at last weeks prices. Barley re-
mains unchangci, the market being very quiet
and the receipts this week smaller than usual
The bulk Of the receipts were taken for mailing
shippers not being able to sell at ony profit over
the prices paid by brewers.
Il, dressed Hogs n few small transactions were
effected by shippers, but the figures. are small.
The Kay m-raet..ha. been fully supplied during
the week. although some days there was very lit
tie offered.
Tie quotations Of exchange vary but little from
