CAiRO, Liz, AHCRSDAT EVENING,
SEPTENBER 2, 1875.
The hot weather predictions for Sep.
tember will be verified, II the month con.
tinues as the first two days have been.
Yesterday was apparently one Of the hot.
test days Of this season. We say appa-
rently, because the thermometer did not
mark so high . temperature as1t has on
other days, but the cool month that has
just passed left US In . condition that
makes this unexpected heat unusually
oppressive. The dusty streets and lack
Of breeze make the heat Of the sun at
midday still more uncomfortable. The
dizziness that characterized the market at
our last report still prevails, and prices
are generally weak on leading commodi.
ties, although we are pleased to note
some Increase In the volume Of sales.
Flour Is plenty, quiet and unchanged.
Hay Is plenty and dull-demand very
small. Corn Il plenty, dull and lower.
Oats are over stocked and dull at 4Oc In
bulk Oh track, and 45c sacked and deliv.
cred. Meal Is plenty and no sale; the
same may be said of bran. The stock Of
butter on hand Is too large tor the de.
mand and Is becoming damaged BY the
hot weather. Fresh eggs sell readily,
but those on hand day or two are neg
lected.

that the prices here given are usually for
Gales from first hands In round lots. In
tilling orders and for broken lots 1t is nee
essary to charge an advance over these
