so far as -four and hay it ooncorned--
firm and active market for Oats, and a
firm feeling in Corn witty liltle.move-
ment. Oats we're quoted stif' to-adpat an
advance TO 5ic. for choice mixed with not
enough offering to supply tho market.
The demand 10 confined almost entirely TO
tho order trade, pcices below not warrant
ing shipments on speculation
Tho cause of advance in prices is not
so much an extraordinary demand, as the
extremely light receipts of tho past few
days. Receipts of Corn are also light, but
the demand lie small and tho market quiet.
Butter ia more plenty and quoted at 20 to
35c. Eggs are plenty at l3c and tho sup
ply of poultry !, about equal to tho de-
mand.
The weather is damp and gloomy, and
to-day closed with every indication OF a
rainy night.
