Revieac Of Last. Year.
GRAIN.-There has been heavy trade in
grain during the past year, especially in wheat.
We notice wheat quoted on the 9Th of June,
as follows: Old, but little offered dull at 81 75a
, l 50; new, 81 so. At that time a decline in
wheat was evident, and farmers were admon-
! ished to sell before the 1st of July. On tn st
of July, we notice that the decline anticipated
had set in. and there was but little demand for
wheat at 81 3Oa1 40. Wheat continued to de-
cline, and by July 9th new prime white was
freely offered at 81 2Oa1 %. August 9th, we
notice wheat quoted for prime white 81 l5a1 70.
On Sept. 18th, wheat began to take rise again
and is quoted at 81 25a1 so, and by the follow
ing week it advanced to 81 30a1 30. 1t thus
continued to rise until November 26th. Wheat
was quoted at 81 Goal 20, which were the best
figures it has reached, for shipping purposes. 1t
is true, in one or two instances millers have paid
more, but only to supply pressing demand
for -four. Wheat is now rather dull, but lit
tie being offered, while the demand is light at
quotations.
extremely brisk during the past year, yet con-
siderable quantities have been shipped. AT
present the market is rather dull at quotations.
FLoUR-The -four market during the past
year has been subject to considerable changes,
keeping pace with the changes in the wheat
market with the exception that at times when
the trade in wheat was brisk, the -four market,
owing to droughts was dull. The market at
present is active at quotations.
OATs.-There has been but little change in
the price of oats during the year. The only
change is that at times it was in demand, while
at present it is dull at quotations
Corn-There has been no special activity in
the corn market the highest buying price being
about GOa65c., and selling, SCaS2!c. At present
there is no activity whatever in the market at

Eggs have been too subject to numerous changes
for us to attempt to give them. The lowest
wholesale quotations have been from 8 to 10c.,
