CINCINNATI, February 2G.
GRAIN-Therc was but a moderate in
qulry for wheat to-day, as the local millers
are buying but sparingly, and the orders
from the interior are chiefly for small
amounts. The receipts are not large; still
the arrivals are IN excess of the demand,
and prices are In favor of buyers. No. 2
spring could have been bought at 80 -,
though buyers generally confined their
offers to 81 20. No. ! spring isnot salable
at over 81 40, and the inquiry at this rate is
only moderate. The offerings, however,
are comparatively light, and holders are
generally asking higher figures. Extra
spring is held at 81 50@2 55. There Is only
n moderate amount of the best grades of
red winter on the market, and full prices
are asked. No. 2 Is held ut 81 S092 50, and
No. / at 81 90. Extra is scarce and dinl-
cult to buy ut less than 50 9j@2 81. Nothing
doing In hilI-wheat, and the transactions
in white are on a limited scale. The offer
ings still consistchietiy of the lower grades,
which are not wanted, and there is not
enough doing in the better grades to war
rant quotations.
There Isl continued fair demand forsound
shelled corn OF Southern account, and the
offerings being only moderate, full prices
are realized, though no further advance
has been established the tendency, how
ever, is upward. We quote mixed Mt &C.,
in bulk or elevator, and &c. including new
reserved gunnies. White shelled Is held ut
.G6c. in bulk, andSlc. including sacks. The
market for ear is unchanged aud steady.
We quote it at 55@50c. in bulk at the upper
and 5G@57c. ut the lower depots. The in
quiry is mainly from the retailers, though
some purchases were made by the distil-
lers.
The receipts of oats were more liberal
to-day the demand, however, was suffi-
cient to take about all offered, and prices
maintained. The inquiry Is mainly local,
though there Is some export demand. No.
| commands 52c. in bulk or elevator. In
Guiding sacks, GOOGLE. is asked, with sales
of about 1000 bushels at these rates, chiefly
at the inside figure. No No. 2 on the mar
ket.
The market for rye remains about as
noted In our last. There Is still "a fair mill
ing demand for the best grades, and for
such, full prices are realized, but the lower
grades meet with little attention. We quote
No. |, 81 23@l %; No. ., 81 20, and reject
ed, Sl@1 10.
There is still an unsettled and irregular
market for barley, and we are unable to
give quotations with any degree of accura-
cy. The inquiry is chiefly for the best
grades, but the offerings are chiefly of quail
tiles below prime. Prime to choice fall Is
held at 81 55@1 Go, and State aud Canada
spring 81 l0@l 20. Prices of the lower
grades are so irregular that we shall not at
tempt to quote them.
PoTAToEs-The market remains quiet,
but we have no change to notice in prices
We quote the best descriptions at 75@S0c,
per bushel, in bulk. From store small sales
are being made at 50 20 per Dbl.
PRovIsIoNs-The general features of the
market remain about as noticed in on. last
There is no activity in the trade, but hold
ers are very firm In their views, and refuse
to sell except at full prices. Should the adj
vance in gold he maintained, 1t will lead t.
Increased activity. There was a good de
mand for inside city brands of mess pork
with sales of about 1000 barrels at $40 %
the market closing steady at this figure
Country packed is quoted $40 to $40, &C
cording to the quality and reputation o
the brand. Humps are quoted $l4 to SIG
but there was very little done. Bulk meat
are in demand, mt 7I4c. ior. shoulders, 9Lc
for rib sides, and l0Lsc. fof clear sides, al
loose, and about 100000 pounds We're oh
tanned ut these rates, though B@4c. NOR,
