the country DeluS unusually large. fIlCeS
have advanced tor most articles in answer
to a corresponding advance in the Eastern
markets.
The Flour market has been somewhat
excited during the week and prices have
advanced Csc per barrel with a tendency
towards higher figure.
Wheat has been very firm during the
week, and at the close of the market showed
an advance OF sc per bushel. The reports OF
the prospects OF the coming crop Of winter
wheat are conflicting, but the impression Is
that there will be much better crop than
was thought possible several weeks ago.
Reports from the Western States gave the
idea that there was less winter wheat sown
last fall than usual, and that the winter has
not been favorable to large crop; In MIS-
souri, and Kansas a large area OF spring
wheat has been sown to make pthe antici'
pated deficiency. In the Southern States the
crops are reported as looking finely, especi-
ally in Georgia, which is fast becoming one
of the wheat growing States. Some sections
of Southern Illinois are reported as looking
favorable to a large crop. Reports nom
England state that the season IS remark
ably favorable for the planting OF gram
and everything favors good crop. Inc
imports of grain in England have been
heavy this season, and the market there IL
now on decline. The amount OF wheat III
store in New York last week was l,Zo5''i-
bushels less than the corresponding week
last year, while corn Is 4,09O,2A in excess Oh
the same period. There was decrease III
the amount in store during the past week
at New York Of iG,54S bushels Of wheat, 81
9SS bushels of corn, 92,l93 bushels o! "i'S,
SJ73 bushels OF rye and 4i,2G bushels o'
barley. The total decrease amounted 10
276, Oh bushels.
The market for Oats, Corn and Barley mas
been very steady during the week WIFI
light receipts and small sales. The corn
market is especially dull the stock on hahu
being large enough to supply an possible
demand during the summer.
Hay is In good demand and prices nave
had material advance as Will be seen Wy
our quotations.
There is very considerable demand ioi
Navy White Beans, and they are very hrm
at 81 80 per bushel.
Cheese Is advancing in price. The stoch
of old Goshen Is very small, and there IL
not a pound of new in the market.
The market for Coffee ana Sugars is mere
Y nominal. The lower grades OF coffee
have declined &c.
The Provision market is quiet, except III
Mess Pork. In that "corner" has oeen
formed in Cincinnati, and an advance OF u
is the consequence. Holders are very firm
In their views at our quotations, and we
shall not be astonished il a still further ad'
vance In prices Is made.
