The weather 10 cold and stormy-unfav-
orable for outside transactions. Business
" limited in most cases to filling southern
orders Transactions on Change in round
lots have been very small. Spectators in
grain and hay are of the market owing
to the dullness at New Orleans and the
very low prices compared with the prices
here. Stocks Of corn are accommodating
and demand 10 very light. Thh oats mar.
kst continues firm at previous quotations,
hut this 6rmness is accounted for by the
light supply on the market, as there 10 NO
unusual demand outside Of the order trade.
