very strong tendency to restrict trade.
The market for Wheat and Flour ID
very dull and though we see no reason
to change our quotations, prices ARE
very weak and liable to tumble 81 any
moment.
A dispatch from Minneapolis, MINI i.
says: Reliable sdvices from the in
terror, along the railway lines, show
that the quantity OF wheat back in far
mers hands is now greater than it hs 6
ever been before at this season. The
warehouses and elevators of all the
railways are full OF wheat waitin z
transportation. In many instances
farmers have been obliged to have their
wheat back from the stations, Is buyers
had no storage for it. Reports also
say that large quantities still remain
unthreshed. 1t is estimated there is
from ten to twelve million bushels sur
plus in Minnesota yet to 60 forward"
II this amount Of grain be soon moved
forward there will be heavy and rapid
decline in the price OF wheat
Corn has advanced and SOC is now
paid for the best grades.
Oats are very steady. Some dealers
look for lower prices, while others claim
that an advance is simply impossible.
We do not think that higher figures
will rule for some time 10 come.
There is but little change in the Pro-
duce market and trade is light. The
choice grades OF Butter are iu good de-
mand and the receipts hardly supply the
city trade; any general advance may
not be expected, but the cold weathero
the past week may make butter scarcer
for the next few weeks.
Cheese is firm and sales light. Deal
ers do not seem anxious to get rid o
their stock as they look for higher
prices before new Cheese is ready for
the market.
Eggs are lower, and q weeks sunshine
and lair weather would 80 largely in
crease the receipts as to bring the price
within the reach otall
The Grocery trade presents but few
changes for the week. Sugars are
steady, while Coffees have an upward
tendency. Most dealers here are only
selling small lots, aud these to regular
customers, preferring to hold the larger
stocks, IS it would be impossible in a
month, they think, to replace the stock,
except at a considerable advance on
present prices.
The Wool market il very dull, and
without transactions. The decline East,
Of the last lew weeks. has tended TO
further demoralize the market, il that
were possible. The New York Herald
Of Saturday says that "the demand is
only moderate, yet there was more in
quiry noticeable, but the bids, a. q gen.
eral thing, were so tar beneath the
views Of the holders as to preclude all
possibility OF any considerable business,
consequently the transactions were
small. manufacturers purchasing only
