REvIEw OF THE HOME MARKETS.


At the Board of Trade everything was very
quiet to-day. There some corn changing
hands at previous prices, but the inquiry was
not specially active. There was small guam
tlty of wheat sold. but the market is Efeless.
MiIIers claim that at the present price of flour
East they can not pay above90 to 90 cents for
red wheat and get out even; and further, that
It will not pay to ship wheat at above that
figure. Holders OF that grain, however, demand
10 cents more than above figures and as a conse-
quence the only sales are to millers for supply
ing local trade There was nothing doing in
oats. The production of mill feed IL hardly
equal to home demand and prices are well sus-
a small way only. The provision market was
steady and unchanged. In the grocery and dry
Goods markets there is nothing new to note.
In produce there is continued dizziness in dressed
turkeys, and eggs are quoted cents lower to-
day. sales were: Is cars high mixed corn, f. o.

WEEKLY REVIEW.
The week has been an uneventful one In bus
-iness circles. Dizziness has been the prevailing
feature at the Board Of Trade so far as the grain
trade is concerned. The only trading of conse-
zuence was in corn, and transactions in that
were unusually limited The fluctuations were
but trfiing, ranging from g. to So cents. in ele
water, for mixed and high mixed. Much of the
time there has been but little difference in prlce
as between the two grades, the bulk of orders
coming from Baltimore, which demands larger
proportion of the former There has been mo-
market has also been remarkably quiet. The
demand for -four has been so limited and the
range OF prices so low that millers have not felt
Justified In running except to I'LL actual orders.
Per consequence the local inquiry for wheat Is
but little It Is probable that DOZEN oT tho 10 twenty
There is comparatively no demand nom abroad,
PROVISIONS.
The market has been depressed nearly the
whole week and until Saturday there was not
even q temporary Improvement The heavy re-
ceipts OF hogs Of the previous week was appar-
emily the Wn.cn Of tne p m s
at Chicago beyond any legitimate demand and
the apparent indifference OF packers TO purchase
even at a decline gave to the Chicago market
decidedly panicky feeling early in the week
There was, however, no serious break and b9 9
number Is rapidly increasing were on the
anxious seat during the first days of the week
from the cheerful countenances since Thursday
it Is fair to presume that they were not heavy
losers IT. indeed they did not prom
a decided Ina provement in the tone Of the mar
kst There mas put pale pc sPot have their minds
freely made up to walt for the better prices an
ticipsted by and by.
GROCERIES.
Trade in this line has been Just fair during the
week There has scarcely been a change in the
price OF anything-not enough in any article to
take Ii outside the range Of quotations current
atdate of last review. The coffee market Is nrIn
and steady; arrivals in port are not large, put
are fully prOportionate to the unusually light
demand. Sugars show an upward tendency.
The refneries which we noted last week as teI-
.porarily closed to clean up are running again.
Tcere.has been since the first of January deci'
ded disposition on the part of dealers TO show
special faVors to the better class OF customers.
Some transactions have 1een almost equivalent
to "cuts," sales being maze at prices below the
regular market. Parties who have bought Stock
when the price was low have chosen to give
their customers the benefit rather than them
selves. Tobacco has not advanced materially,
but there is decidedly upward tendency, and
Coal oils are firm, but not further advanced.
DRY GOODS, ETC.
Business has been better than for the previous
week and has amounted to a good weeks trade
for the seasyn In fancy goods and notions
there IS no special activity, although there ID
Int little complaint. Other lines of trade have
,,een reasonably active and there is but little
comnlaint Collections are satisfactory and
Country traders are so favoraby situated as 10
finsrcss that there is a growing disposition 70
incraase the volume of sales, and IL Is PROBABLE
that heavier spring stocks wi DO laid In this
season than last.
PRODUCE.
There has not been much change In any ar
ticles of produce during the week. except II
