Feed.
Corn is in plenty with a moderate de-
mand until the last day or two when the
inquiry improved owing to the large
number of steers now employed in the
city, hauling rates have differed greatly
Oh the same day owing to diffiulties
about transit. The large amount OF
corn in the country above us makes
prices heavy. Oats have been advanc-
ing, as it is expected they will be largely
called for when the suffering horses
begin to eat again. Bran has been in
very active demand, as it is the princi-
pal food given to the horses, and the
price has advanced There is m first
class hay to be had; medium commands
but moderate prices.
Flour and Meal.
Flour is sitter with some prospects o.
a rise, unless the condition OF the rivers
improve; the lower grades are in a little
better favor than they were in the sum.
n.er. COrnmeal vas very weak until
Friday, when the causes spoken Of above
caused an advance of from 5 to l0c.
Butter and Eggs.
Butter presents a subject for remark.
Eggs have strongly advanced and on
saturday il was expected they would
soon be 40c q dozen.
Poultry and Meat.
Live poultry of all kind shows little
change; dressed is now in full demand
and fun prices are paid for fine andlarge
small are not wanted. Hogs are arriv-
ing from above but they command only
moderate prices; small hogs, city killed,
are in good request at good prices.
Produce.
Apples remain in good supply and de-
mand 1t steady prices. Oranges are stiff
with a good steady demand. Dried fruits
and c~ranberries are not much called for.
Potatoes and onions are active and
higher.
Provisions.
Bacon remains scarce, bulk meats take
its place and their prices dlOOps and
sinks in a way TO prevent purchases,
which keeps the stocks low. Some mess
pork appeared in the market the other
/ day at $40, the first we have had for two
months. Lard is In slight demand at
declining rates.
Miscellaneous.
The wholesale stores have, of course,
with low rivers and hauling at a stand,
had a light business. In dry goods there
Is no other change in rates than bleached
/ sheetings, which have advanced from
lc to 1c. Nothing changed in boots or
Z shoes. Lard oil has advanced to SlG,
] O5 for winter strained; coal oil is also
higher. Wood and willOw-ware has no
/ other change than an advance of Toe on
I close pins. In canned peaches and sar-
dimes we make a slight change. Glass
is firm and little doing at the former
rates. Paints and turpentine remain as
as before quoted. Lime and cement
have undergone no change.
