lively satisfactory. At almost all the lend

The market for grain and produce were
little quiet on yesterday. In wheat, corn,
and oats, the movement was at times toll
erably fair, but as rule, the operators
present seemed to be more reluctant than
usual to take hold, and hardly an average
days business was transacted in the differ.
ent branches Of trade The attendance
in the various markets, however, was rea.
sonabl y large. and as there was no desire
on the part of holders of grain to force
sales, the feeling was quite firm. Wheat
and oats suffered small decline from Sat-
urday's range, but corn was firmer. Wheat
was affected unfavorably by the reports
received from New York and other points.
Corn sold freely for shipment, the vessel
room engaged being equal to 100000 blu.
Rye and barley were quiet for present de-

Union is strength in most things but de-

is like this The building is owned by a
board of i've trustees, three of whom be-
