SATURDAY, May %.
Flour and Grdin.--Thc demand for flour
has continued quite limited, Jobbers pur-
chasing only in small lots, and sales could
only be- forced ut lower figures. Holders,
however, are quite firm and have consider
able confidence in favorable change. The
sales of fancy Minnesota brands range from
81 10 7.75, choice brands ranging from h. 25
TO S75. White wheat st Louis has been
taken in lots as wanted ut SO. so to for COM
mon and choice, and 9,25 TO $50 for few
iavorlte brands; white wheat Illinois mt 8 so
to 100; and white Ohio, Indiana and Micli-
gan ut q. 25 to 7, but it is dillic:lt to get over
6.75 for the best Michigan brands on tho
market.
The market for corn has been quite dull
and unsettled since our last and prices have
declined in sympathy with other markets
The sales of mixed and yellow have been ut
80 TO Gee.
The receipts of oats have been very light,
not sufficient TO meet the wants of the trade.
Stocks are being gradually reduced and
there is every prospect that good prices will
he sustained. The sales Of mixed and white
have been mt 10 to sec.
Rye. The sales have been confined to
small lots ut Sl.20 to les. Market dull.
Feed. Demand limited, and we quote
| shorts ut $26 to $3.50, and fine feed and
middings ut 81 TO % per ton.
Gr0cerieS.-ThG transactions in Java cof-
fee have been Mt IS to CSC, gold; Mocha is
scarce and has advanced, with sales ut 80 to
33c, gold; Rio mt l5l to l91c, gold; and
MarHcaibo at l9i to 23c, gold.
Fish. The stock OF dry Goldfish is almost
exhausted, and no new will be on the mar
kot for some weeks to come. The first trip
of the season from the banks arrived at an
Eastern port during the week and sold mt
comparatively high prices. The new bank
goldfish selling in Gloucester at IS to rs
per qtl are only picked, and about the same
as Georges only not so large.
Molasses The market Is dull. The trans
actions include 2l0 hhds st Croix ut 431 to
46c, and small lots of choice Porto Rico at
SIS to Csc per gal.
Rice. The market is quiet for Carolina,
with small sales mt n to SIC per lb. Ran
Coon is in fair demand with sales of 400 bags
At 60 to 6bc.
Sugar. Refined sugars have eased of,
with moderate demand from the trade.
We quote sales of crushed and powdered at
llci graduated at l0iC for first and l0lc for
second quality; and the different grades of
coffee crushed at 81 to lQbo.
Pr0dEee..nried Apples. Southern, quar-
tered "a TO &c; state and Western quarIered
81 to 90, do and Southern sliced 81 to loo ;
Eastern sliced 10 TO lie.
Beans. Mediums are firm at $l.95 per
bu, which is all that buyers are willing to
give, though some receivers hold for 80.
| Pea beans are quiet aud steady, with sales
mostly Mt 81. 25 to ESQ Yellow eyes 50.
Butter. Receipts have been readily dis
posed OF MT an advance of l to &c per lib on
the current rates u week ago. Choice lots of
new butter which buyers refused to give
over 23e for eight or ten days ago sold quick
| ly ut "a to Csc, and We hear of several sales
mt 26c. There is scarcity of choice butter
ut the close, and prices will probably be sus-
tanned next week. Buyers, however, arc
not disposed to operate heavily. until grass
butter comes In, and large receipts would
| probably cause reaction. Owing to the
| light supply OF new, old butter sold little
more readily at previous prices, and the
stock is considerably reduced. Most of the
sales have been at Is to lSc, with occasional
lots ut 10 TO zoe.
Cheese. The supply of new cheese ex,
ceeds the demand and prices have further
declined, closing unsettled. For the bes
lots l33c is the highest we can quote, and re-
ceiyers find It ditiicalt to make large sale.
ut l3c. Fair to good lots are slow of sale nj
10 10 l2c, and skinned are without any es
tablished price, Old cheese is almost en-
tirely out of the market. aud sales are only
in small way at II to l6c.
Eggs. Eastern II TO f5c, Northern l6I tC
| l7c, Western 10 TO lie. pr
Grass Seeds. The demand for large lots
has quoted down, and transactions have
been mostly in jobbing way. We quote

per bu red top ~ to 4.25 per bag.
