Grain ana Produce. oldg


HuGRA1N There is a very unsettled condition
of the market, and tits almost an impossibility
to give quotations in grain. There Is a large
fleet of boats at the wharf and the city is stocked
with produce. Buyers and sellers are vainly
endeavoring to establish settled price, but up
have been agreed upon. There is q general de-
cline in all kinds of produce which is in some
degree owing TO the market below being stocked
as well as this place. The late heavy rains have
caused a rise in Powells' river and in conse-
quence large feet of boats arrived here and
mand for produce below. The wheatat the wharf
is principally composed of mixed lots, and all
that has been sold was of that class, and brought
from 81. 40 to $1.50. Some of the boatmen hold
back with the hope of forcing an increase. and
it is almost useless to attempt to give quotations
but those below are as near as we can gather
which are, however, liable to change BY thi;
morning. n - - & 80
Flour. The market is really overstocked
and prices range lower. There is also an un.
settled condition in this branch of trade, and
sellers seem unwilling to take buyers figures
We give quotations of last sales made but vii
not insure them t0 hold good to-day, as figure;
on flour, as well as wheat, are liable to change
momentarily. ll- - - on SO ..,i,..'5-
OATS There is no special activity in the oats
trade, and we are forced to quote them rather
dull :..i - f.4r f-f..,.rqg
Corn There is a large lot of corn at the
wharf and up to the time of going to press nc
sales had been effected. The corn market is r
so unsettled a condition that we cannot attempt
to give quotations ,-Sfrs-r-rrfi o{i r9J
Eggs.-Quite a number Of eggs have beer
thrown ON the market, yet there is not much
activity displayed. They are rather dull al

There is q fair stock in market and sales are
readily made at quotations given Below
GRASS SEEp.--Western quotations in grass
seed show downward tendency, but with pres

to remain at present figures. ,ye.7raf- adt.rog.
