The market for breadstuffs has been very
much excited during the past week. Flour
advanced SOC per barrel on the best grades
during the week and holders are very firm,
looking for a stin further advance. Other
grades show an advance Of 25c, and the
tendency is still upward.
! Wheat has advanced SC per bushel, and
the market is very still. One lot Of about
80 bushels ofthe finest and cieanest wheat
we ever saw was held at q per busheL sl.90
| was offered and refused. The reported
probable failure Of the wheat crop, both
winter and spring, is the cause Of the stin-
ness in the gram market.
Corn and Oats are quiet and without
change.
The general market has been quotably
unchanged during the past week. Trade is
| very active, and our dealers have their
hands full filling orders.
The only change in Provisions to notice
| is a decline of SOC in mess pork. The
"corner" formed in Cincinnati spoken OF
last week has been broken and the decline
in price is the consequence.
The market for Dairy Products has ruled
rather quiet all the week, and there mas
been a downward tendency in prices.
The receipts of Butter have been fair for
! the medium grades, but really choice yei-
low has been only in moderate supply I;
prices may be called lg2c lower for all
qualities than they were last week.
4 &c IN o..
i and dealers are not anxious to take hold Oh
the new make very little will probably he
done until after the first OF May.
Eggs have been coming in more freely
and may be quoted 29lc lower than last
week.
The Potato market has declined some
what, owing to the shipping demand lali-
ing of, and the local trade is moderate.
Dried Apples and Dried Peaches are firm
and moving steadily.
Seeds are quiet and the movement is only
| in small lots TO the local and interior trade.
Beans are firm for choice qualities, which
have been and are still rather scarce.
The Wool market Is quiet, and there
seems to he an Indication that the extra
ordinary rise in wool has reached its Gull
minatirg pont,and that decline hasset ill.,
Cable dispatches state that prices have de-
clined in England at least one penny per
| pound. In the Eastern markets dealers are
| firm and hold for the top prices. There Is
but little doing, however, only small sales
| for immediate use.
The Iron market is firm at the advance
reported last on pig, railroad and bar IRON 70 l.
| In sh eel iron another advance of 5.lO OF
cent per pound. The Iron Manufacturing
Association, at their meeting on Saturday,
| did not make another advance as was ex-
pected. The New York shipping llst re.
ports an advance of los on bar In England,
and POS on hoop and sheet iron. m
