NOveWUcT IL loSO' }
The month opens with weather warm
and pleasant, atmosphere hazy, and
signs that betoken an approaching
storm.
There is little change In business. To-
day being the first Of the month, was, as
usual, devoted to the settling up Of las:
months work, and GALES were few. In
corn we notice indications Of o decline,
and sellers were willing to shade little.
Flour 10 in large supply and very slow
sale; stocks Of choice are largely in ex.
cess. and the demand 10 nearly all for me-
dunn grades. Hay Is very dull except
for strictly choice, Of which thsrs Is none
here; receipts Of common aud mixed
are large and have to be shipped to
Southern markets, - there 10 no de-
mand for 1t here. Choice apples are in
active demand and scarce. OrssSes are
dull. Bean 10 dull and prices are lower.
Other branches noted below.
