BURLINGTON, Friday. ; p. IN.
The weather during the week has been
reaIly delightful, and for outdoor business
"A pleasant as could be wished for. The
ia continues solid Our Illinois friends
are Improving the time to market their
grain, and = large number of teams are in
town every day from the vicinity Of Dallas,
saosUduon and Terre Haute. 1t is seld Nm
or traders get an opportunity Of supply
;ug 80 large . portion Of Henderson and
Hsncock counties with goods AS they have
had during the past thirty days,
The grain markets are lower than a week
sro. Wheat has declined fully 10 cents per
bushel. Spring i IL fair demand al 81 10
tcN45, arc for very choice, c.ean samples
ril.ars would probably pay 81 80. Winter
whaa. that is free from rye AID chess would
sell Tor 81 IS, but q lasge portion OF what is
Offering is mixed with rye ard will not
bring any more tasa spring wheat. The
rules of inspection u Chicago now are
very rigid, and the amount Of whea; tha,
is graded rejected s larger than hereto
fore when weight was the test. Now they
require all gram to be suitable for milling.
Such as will make good sound flour is
graded Extra Nc. or No. ., all that is
damp or otherwise unsound, or mixed
vita other grain is graded REJECTED.
Hay has declined. l.arlv III the winter,
Vile the roads were bad, and but little in
he market, II went Up as high as 81 to So
PER ton. Now prime timothy can lie got
a.Si6, and such as q mixed with clover
VII aot sell for more than 81.
For the sake of the needy poor in our
midst we arc happy to say that wood is
daily getting more plenty and at lower pri-
ces. We have in our mind several pretty
eE:snsive piles Of wood that owners pat up
hs. fall, for which they intended to ask $.
per cord this winter when it would be-
scarce. They are now glad to lind custom
ess at - to s., and if the ice bridge holds
good few weeks longer, 81 will be regard
a rs high price.
The pork season IS over. The packing

been much spirit in the market, and that

waLe to-day heavier receipts and mlsera-
Die weather caused some reverse and made
