MARKET,

The amount of business doing is Won
derfully good for the season, but it would
be still better If we were not hammered
by a most unpleasant money stringeney,
which cause all business people TO re-
frain from purchasing at al where they
can, and to purchase as little as possible
when eXigence requires that purchases
shall be made. Corn was in moderate
receipt, and most of what is in hand is
in warehouse, where it is held at 60c;
sales Of white were made on landing
closing out all on hand-at 5Sc forwhite.
But few oats arrived, and the receivers
were holding out for better rates, but the
fact Is that, owing to the many rejected
musty oats arriving here, every sack
has 70 be sampled, and is sold on its own
merits, as musty, muster, or mustiest.
Few, if any, oats perfectly sound are ar
irving here. st. louis appears to find
this a convenient point TO pour out its
rejected oats on. If that gay youth Of a
city must "sOw its wild oats our deal
ems wish they would establish their sow
ing business in some other locality.
Hay is dull, as usual; a little really
choice that, by some accident, strayed
this way, sold at S26. No Bran was Of
fering; one holder held a lot that came
TO hand at 81, but that was regarded as
beyond the market rate; the last sales
were at $40 and SO 80. This mornings
kilograms say bat corn is lower in New
York, dull anC lower in Chicago, duh in
New Orleans record not very favOra-
BILE to those who are trying to run up
figures here. Oats is in fair demand in
New York, dull in New Orleans, quiet
and weak in Chicago, dull in st. Louis
a discOuragtng account for those who
have been claiming that oats would be
45c in Memphis before October was half
through. Ia market Flour is a COM
plete puzzle, abandoning the usual and
long used grades, super, single, double, and
treble Y has got US into a shoreless sea,
where comparative values and relative
prices are utterly lost sight Of, and each
brand has TO sell for what the holder can
get. To get quotation by these brands
IS to encounter a host Of contradictions
and clashing figures. We give as near
an approximation in the quotations be-
low as ear be arrived at. COTnmeOI was
scarce comparatively, and sold at g IS
on landing, 8 20 in store. Chickens re-
manned dull at former rates. Potatoes
and Onions showed an utter want of
strength, and Applcs were in much the
same predicament. Krula is in good
request at our quotations. Crdnberries
sell at SIS per barrel. Lemons were
rather weaker, Sl0GI1. Oranges at s.
for citrOn and 50 for sweet. Quotations
Of Bacon are various; the rate OF clear
sides Is actually 12sc for cash, l2Ec for
monthly accounts, 13c to outside Gus
toners. Ness Pork We found selling as
low as SIS IS. Lard is steady, with lit
tie change. Butter is higher for the best
grades; real choice seldom penetrates
this latitude; If il does it is worth 2Sc;
the best we are usually receiving sells at
25d26c, but fair butter, at 22a24c is
commonest Of all poor qualities are ne
elected and are hardly a merchantable
article.
