The receipts Of wheat are very light for thi,
season Of the year. The price seems to have
settled at about 81 429l 4S for No. 2 red, win.

Corn has ruled very steady and there will
be little change until the xrrivaiof the new
crop. The Chicago Tsibant rays that: corn
was more active and Nalc higher, under ar
improved shipping demand, with.a fkir
call from the short interest for the new
month, which began (the first business day.
on Monday. Liverpool was early reported
higher, and the frost of Thursday night,
which was quite sharp here, was looked
upon as traught with danger to the growing
crop, though no advices OF damage were
received from the country.
| Oats have ruled steady during the week,
| without an advance. a..~r 60 as
Rye has declined somewhat and the mar
ket Is very Irregular.
Butter has advanced 1@2c for the choice
grades, with a very active demand. Prime
and inferior grades are slow Of sale. New
York advioes reports Western as scarce and
wanted.
Cheese has advanced fully &c per pound
during the week, closing very firm at the
advance. The cause Of this rise Is the re.
ported "corner in cheese" in New York.
The Tribune of Saturday reports the receipts
as increasing, and, with less trade, prices
are hardly so nrm. Special fancy factory,
l4@l415c; prime factory l39lS1lc; Ohio fac
tory l2@l3Hc; private dairies ll@l3c.
A fresh article of eggs command ready
sale, and prices are about the same as the
previous week.
Potatoes are in demand, with an advance
on prices Of last week. Good qualities COM
maud a ready sale at prices fully Sc better
Sweet potatoes have also advanced about
iOc for Jersey.
Green apples and peaches are irregular,
prices ranging according to the supply and
quality. The stock of apples seems to bein
excess OF the demand; only superior
quality commands a ready sale.
In wool there Is the same stagnation of
the past three or four weeks. But little Is
being brought to market by the farmers,
they still holding off for better prices. The
Eastern markets are reported to be well
supplied with foreign woods, but manufac.
turers are unwilling to pay present prices.
The Chicago Inter- Ocean says that through
A. tl,ah or ia n
mers and spectators are quite large, and
they are not forwarding 1t freely, in hope OF
obtaining higher range OF prices. There
fore, it will be seen that the market is really
at standstill, with very few transactionsin
the aggregate. Holders are not inclined to
accept lower range of prices, in view of
the fact that many lots on hand have cost
them their present market value.
In the iron market there has been ma
terial advance, caused by the action of the
iron and nail manufacturers convention at
Pittsburgh on Friday, that OF raising bar
iron 2-l0c per pound, and nails 25c, which In
consequence has made raise to the same
amount here. In connection with the &C
ton of the iron and nail manufacturers, We
may say that all the mills in this section of
the country have large orders ahead, and
we are aware of the fact that by running
day and night they could not more than ill
home orders. 1t is also stated that the ex.
pected yield of Lake Superior ore has been
sold in advance for year to come, and that
little or none can be purchased in this mar
ket.
In Groceries the trade is very good for the
season and the prices firm, with on advanc.
ing tendency in sugars syrups and coffee.
Sugars and syrups have advanced in New
York and Baltimore.
