the regular order of arrivals. This inter
ruption, in fact, has deranged prices in
the majority of that sort of cOmmodi.
ties that usually sell on arrival.
Feed.
! Corn, being in but moderate demand
has remained comparatively steady, but
Is stronger than a week ago, but the
quantity awaiting shipment intimates
declining rates when the rivers rise.
Oats are in fair demand with lots offer
ing at 42c. Hay is in small receipt and
higher on that account, but rates are IN
settled. Bran is also in good inquiry,
but the demand has fallen off since the
horse influenza disappeared; stock light.
FIOur and COFnmeaL
Flour we have incidentally spoken OF
above. COrnmeal in consequence of ad-
vanced freights and small arrivals is
higher, We quote So 10 but 50 % was
paid early in the week.
! Produce.
Apples are firm with few of the better
/ qualities in market. Potatoes and onions
are very firm at our quotations, the lat
! ter are scarce with a good demand
Navy beans are little asked for, rates
dropping. Cabbage is in steady demand
and sound large heads command high
/ prices. Dried fruit, both apples and
peaches, the latter especially, are in poor
demand. Eggs have been strong at 4Oc,
but that price checked sales and we now
quote 3Sc. Oranges keep advancing
every day or two as the holidays APP
prOach.
Meat and Poultry.
Poultry of all kinds, especially when
killed and well dressed, improve in price
as the holidays approach. Beef quarters
are offering in greater supply than we
remember on any former winter, and at
very moderate rates. Hogs are in good
demand with liberal arrivals. Wild
birds and deer, squirrels, opOssunas and
other small game are plentiful and meet
with ready sale at satisfactory prices,
except that deer has at times been so
plentiful as to reduce rates on account Of
the difficulty of shipping of.
Provisions.
All articles of the hog product are on
the descending scale; the demand is ex-
cellent, but the uncertainty of prices is
so great that dealers dislike laying in
any extensive stock, and the small
amount in hand sustains rates above
what they might otherwise be.
miscellaneous.
Baling stuff is higher. Canned brandy
cherries and sardines have advanced.
Cheese is half a cent higher. New gun
MES have gone up one cent. Soft re-
fined sugar is lower, molasses un-
changed. Nails are irregular, So is tire
rate but lots can be obtained
lower. Tinplate quotes soc lower.
Quotations for feed are for round lots
