IetrOLeum.-There has been very light
demand for refined, and prices ARE weak,
but quotably unchanged. For lots as wanted
by the trade l21 to l3c per gal is the range
for standard brands. hut concessions would
he made on lots of 100 bbs or more. We
hear of no sales OF case oil, and 10 to 20c is
the nominal quotation. Naptha Is in moder-
ate request ut III TO l2c per gal for 20 gravI-
ty.
ProUisions.-Tho market for pork is very
| firm and full prices continue to be obtained.
| Stock very light for the season, particularly
OF mess and heavy clear. The sales have
been ut $l5 to 1850 for prime; 10 to 1850
for mess and 81 to "a per Dbl for clear and
extra clear, rs To quality. Beef is firm and
has been in steady demand, with sales mt
1880 to Is for mess and extra mess; and II
to 1850 for family. Lard is firm and has
been in fair demand ut full prices. Tho
sales have ranged from liz to l24c por lib for
| city and Western, including steam and ket-
tie rendered. Smoked hams have boon in
fair demand mt III to l3c per III, rs 10 quail
ty City dressed hogs are steady ut to SIC
per Id. In cutmeats no change with stoady
| sales.
Tho demand for domestic wool has been
| quite active. New spring California is in
fact about the only available wool Offering,
| rs the stock of fleeccs has become almost ex-
hausted, and of other kinds stocks arc also
| quite reduced.
Now California has been arriving quito
freely and considerable supplies arc also
near at hand. The transactions in this de-
scrlptiOn tho past week include No. 2 aud 3,
light and long stable, ut Acc per lib. but tho
principal transactions have been ut "a to $50
per ID. In California there continues to be
n steady advance. Lines of choice wool
that could be bought there some two weeks
ago Mt 29c gold, has since been sold Mt 81 to
to 32c gold, and so far MS prices are cocerned
| the San Fracisco market continues to keep
ahead of Eastern markets.
| Some of tho best lines of Michigan woods
have been bought in the West Mt Acc, and in
Ohio and Pennsylvania prices range from As
| to SOC per h. with the most desirable clips
held ut the latter rate, and some considera-
| bic lots have already been bought by manu-
facturers and dealers. This is full SC per 10
higher than the opening prices of last year,
and we fear these prices will not be sustain
ed All edmit that the goods market has
been very depressed and unsatisfactory
throughout the year. Prices of most kinds
| are now 10 to Is per cent. lower than at this
| time last year, while wool opens full Sc per
| ID higher, and this state of things does not
promise n healthy or prosperous trade.
New Kentucky combing wool has been az
irving quite freely and there is now good
assortment offering. Prices range from 40
to 4Sc per ID, and we look for more active
movements in week or two. Pulled wool
continues to meet with ready sale and pre-
vious prices are sustained.
