pleasant for this season of the year. To.
day has been exceptionally pleasant. A
few clouds appeared in the sky in the
afternoon. but soon cleared away. and
the day closed clear and pleasant.
Both rivers are falling steadily at this
point, and IL there had been any danger
at all to Cairo from high water, during
this season Of floods, or even to the sur
rounding country. it would all bo over
now.
The market IL, in most cases, at stand
still In some for lack Of supplies to fill
orders, and In others for lack Of orders
to fill. There l. nothing at oil doing in
hay. A few cars of new oats have come
In, but no sales have been made. There
Is some inquiry for old oats at high rates.

corn is wanted, and none coming in.
City mills have been compelled to slint

scarce, but the market rules quiet and un.
changed. The market Is bare Of flour.
Receipts fall far short OF the demand,
and prices are steady and firm. Butter

coming In. Prices are going up. Other
