The market has closed weak, though
without decided change in quotations. The
business Is light and mostly to supply home
demand. Very little wheat Is coming in'
but were receipts heavy prices would tum-
BILE at once.
, Corn is frmer at the close, with slight
advance, being held on Saturday at SOC, but
no sales" The demand has been fair
through the week. Oats are in more re-
quest, but with fair receipts the market has
been kept at the opening price. Rye and
barley are merely no ninal In prices, no
sales OF any amount being made,
Provisions are frmer and advanced.
Hams aud shoulders are quoted Ic higher,
and some brands Of pork have advanced.
Butter and cheese have been very quiet
during the week, with but little trade In
either article. A very choice grade Of but
ter has been in demand at a slight advance.
Eggs were In demand early in the week,
and were sold as high as 2Oc for fresh packed,
but have now declined to l69lSc. 81.
Potatoes are nominal, the sales being
merely to supply the home consumption.
There Is nothing doing In dried fiuits, the
fresh articles having taken their place IN
local consumption as well as for shipment.
In the wool market there Is no particular
change to make in quotations, though nom
all eastern advices 1t seems that the market
can hardly be sustained at present prices
An eastern paper, speaking OF the fears oil
wool crisis, says that the American clip may
he estimated at half OF the produce used
for manufacturing purposes in the country,
and with the sale OF 1t must lie In great
measure the determination OF the fall ana
winter values. The high prices OF wool
have been, to some extent, supported by the
equally high quotations for cotton, as the
two staples ore in many cases substituted
for each other, according to fluctuations in
their value but with the prospect OF cot
ton crop Of four millions sOf bales, the ten
dency of cotton will be to drag down the
price of wool. In this position Of the wool
trade, 1t does not require the inspiration oil
a prophet to see that we are verging upon
crisis, in which the imitation of the last
twelve months will give place to more
natural and reasonable range Of values.
Sugars have advanced 4 to &c per pound.
The market is without any special activity.
