There was an active inquiry this morning
for several articles OF produce for the after
noon city markets that were not TO be OBJ
tanned, which caused a temporary advance in
one or two things Corn Is in small supply,
and on that account some dealers are disposed
to think IL trOnger there were no sales 70 test
the opinion, but there were contrary opinions

tons. oats are considered nrmer as stocks
are very low, with some demand and an mdls-
position up the river 10 ship at present prices.
The Chicago Hter-Ocgdn of Thursday, says:
'OatS were again weak, and prices denote a
further decline of A@5ac aS-compared with
yesterday. This WeakneS and decline was
I due TO a continued desire On-the part OF a few
prominent operators 70 bear the market, and
also 10 large offerings and moderate receipts.
The demand was chiefly speculative and
mainly for future delivery" In another place
the same paper says; "Oats were dull and
prices fell Ac per bushel. Holders were anX-
iOus 70 sell, but buyers generally preferred 70
wait and seei II prices viii not go lower" In
New York the telegraph says coats are scarce
and very firm in LOUISVILLE nothing doing;
in ST. Louis active and higher" The Chicago
Ln6er-Oceaa, OF Thursday, says Of corn "COru

the receipts are increasing and no disposition
on the part of shippers 20 take hold when

The Shoe and Leather Reporter, Of the

safe to assume that half The tannertes Of the
country are now idle, and that this has been
the case for some weeks past. We do not

there has been, for two months past, a much
larger diminuion Of production than usual

previous years, and the stock % hides has
been largely increased thereby, the price Of

with any probable increase OF the stock.
There Is, Just now, a vigorous competitor for
hides for European ports, and this IS what
the market here. Our own markets, !
even with the foreign demand we have had,
have not taken up the leather as fast as il has
been manufactured, hence the depressed
prices and stocks larger than tanners can
prodtably afford TO see them. The produc-
ton has been, in consequence diminished
