GENEKAL Market.
Quotations for feed are for round lot,
on The landing unless otherwise expressed
The feed market continues very dull
I the scarcity Of orders shows that the
planters must have grown largely on
their own account. Corn Is arriving
| from below and selling in this market
In competition with corn arriving from
the west. Corn is in very small demand
under these circumstances, and prices
/ are weak at a very slight improvement
on Yesterdays rates; it is becoming
scarce in st. Louis. Oats were offering,
but the best on the market drew forth
no better offer than 323c; a lot of mixed
sold at gle. Hay remains stagnant,
some Arkansas prairie sold at S14. Bran
was little wanted: some lots sold at SIC,
and q lot of over 800 bushels went at
ST.. A small quantity Of corn bran
sold at SI4 50. CorJaB1Oal remains very
quiet, some holders are not offering; the
demand Is limited and ali that is wanted
is got at g 20. Eggs have become quite
scarce, and have risen 70 2l@22c AppIes
are in good supply at from s. to 81;
fancy will bring a dollar more. Chick
ems are stiff at SSG4 for young, and all
good old are taken at 81 50. Potatoes
are in less request for baueling; good
russets are bought loose at 81. The stock
of Onions is increasing, and they have
declined to g 75G3. Cd66uQes were ac-
tive at S. per crate, with some sales still
niger. Lemons are dull at So. The de-
mand for Bacon continues active and
prices show but little modification from
yesterdays. The tightness Of money
has led to some cases Of cOn-
cession to effect sales, but our quotations
give the standard prices. The general
tone of business is remarkably buOyant
for this time Of the year, and everything
presages an active season ahead.
The business of the week has been
moderate, with no very notable huctua-
tons in prices. Flour has ruled steady
and in fair demand for good grades,
ranging in price at So to So. Holders of
choice have not been free sellers at the
market, as the tendency Of wheat has
been to higher prices, especially the
kind Of wheat required to make choice
-four. Whether prices viii be maintain
ed after free receipts of spring wheat set
in Is problematical. We should judge
not, however. The wheat market has
been pretty firm, and sales have been
readily made of good milling stock at
firm and ascending prices. The coal
miners strike, however, threatens to
leave the mills without fuel, and,
should they be compelled to stop during
the coming week, wheat would be more
or less affected. The feeling at the close
on Saturday was rendered dull by this
probability, as the mills have but a light
stock of coal on hand. What may be
done about getting coal from Indiada or
Grand Tower is not known just now.
Corn has not passed a very active week.
Prices have not iuctuated much. Oats
improved at the close of the week. Hay
has ruled quiet and steady throughout
the week, with q fair sale for choice.
Poor hay is abundant enough, but brings
small money. There has been no i'm
pOrtant change In provisions during the
week.
