MARKETS.

A quiet market gave the reporter little
opportunity for display this morning.
Corn is still heavy from the recent glut,
sales on landing of white at 66c and
yellow at &c. Oats and Bran were
stagnapt, there is little or rs inquiry for
them. Hay is firm in the better grades,
with few transactions. COTBmedl shows
some activity at 8 35 on the landing.
Flour is dropping with little doing, we
reduce some of the quotations as viii be
seen i'm the table below. Butter is still
without irmness and good sweet yell
low can be had at pc; inferior is not
wanted and We do not quote it, ''it is
worth what it will fetch" Potatoes are
nov arriving plentifully and are lower
in bulk, wagons are selling as low as s..
We saw a telegram from Cincinnati
stating that they were selling there at
3 50G3; the receiver of the telegram
had a lot in shipping order. which hewas
offering at 81 . per Dbl. Some new
cheese was received and was selling at
1jd16c. We can find no Oranges in
stock; good selected lemons, repacked,
S7(G7 80. Bacon showed no changes
and mess pork vas sellinga at from sl3 25
G13 80.
The following we copy from the st.
Louis Times of the 18th: 1.-THE country
is hurrying its surplus to market and all
markets being lifeleSs and awaiting
more decided reports of the crops as de-
pendent upon the merest consumptive
demand, the tendency of prices has gen.
orally been to lower figures. Nearly
every interior or sea-board center has
full stocks Of produce and grain, and
they have been taught by the mistakes
Of other years to go slow in the face Of
new crops. Indeed il does seem that
food is more rapidly approaching a golG
and ante-war level than any other ne
cessity 70 the modern human. Corn,
under the decline in price, was in rather
lighter arrival. The steady drop in the
figures of other markets, the splendid
grass crop over the South, the fair stocks
held there, and the light demand for an
export supply, have carried the market
down 4Gle per day on grades turn about
until the whole list may be quoted on
bulk and on mixed and yellow in sacks
3G5c; about Sc lower than at our last re-
view. Many operators have great con-
fidingSin thesfuture Of good, as it is evil
dent from the present character of re-
ceiyts that a vast quantity of that to
come in has been injured by the recent
rain storm. Oats have been thoroughly

which was wanted for local purposes.
The demand from the South has fallen
offheavily, and the fscOrneru in Chicago
has largely assisted the heavy receipts
in unsettlfng the market. Hay has been
only in light request for shipping quail
ties throughout, and the prices have
moved downward, more especially on
Monday, when very large arrivals
gOrged the market; choice being scarce
has been held up much better in proper
ton but even this may be quoted dull
and lower at the close. Flour has sym
pathized thoroughly with wheat on even
the best grades, but holders have gener-
ally made their sales out Of their daily
receipts, keeping such good lots as are
already in store for an expected future
advance. The demand applies princi-
pally to good medium and best qualities
of winter and the purchases are gener-
ally Of very small lots on orders. We
note an irregular decline of 81, 50925c
from the lower grades upwards n a
dull and unsettled condition at the
close. Provisions have appeared TO feel
somewhat stronger during the week,
although toward the close there is less
strength than was apparent on Friday
and Saturday. Pork advanced about
25c, but has since dropped back IOc.
Dry salt meats have been almost NOM
inal throughout, but fairly firm. Bacon
has, from its scarcity and the better or
der demand, held up the market and
closes strong and in good request all
round. In this grade there has been
some little speculative movement.
Quotations for feed are for round lots
