CAIRO, ILL, THURSDAY EVENING,
October 81, 1875.
The weather still continue. clear and
cool. The sun shone down quite warm
during the middle Of to-day, and quite q
! breeze prevailed till toward sunset.
Rain is what is needed in the city. to re-
| plenish the cisterns, but we are not pre-
pared to speak for the farmers as regards
the same.
There is no change to note in the mar
kets, since our last report, either way.
| The transactions in -four have been
| pretty fair. but no change in prices;
stocks are large and accumulatlng.
Choice timothy hay is in fair request, but
common is dull. There is nothing doing
IN corn the market is dull and inactive.
Transactions in oats are ''played out -
plenty on hand. but 10 demand for them
whatever. The stock of meal on hand is
small, and the demand correspondingly
so. strictly choice butter is scarce, but
there is a fair supply of medium on hand.
Eggs are quiet--enough come in to meet
the demand. Choice apples are in good
demand-poor qualities hard to sell
