below. Corn, for feeding purposes,
during the week, has varied from SO
to IS cts, generally at 55; one load
only, was sold at rs cts, but to-day
corn is quite plenty at 30 cents per

In wool there is little doing and SO
far the receipts are very light. The
prospect is unfavorable for producers
and prices are lower to-day than they
have been since 1861, with every in
dication of going still lower. In the
East many of the mills are closed,
not Tor want Of stock but on account
Of the close margin between wooden
goods and raw material. The pros
pect, therefore is not at all favorable.
Perhaps owing to the unsettled
state of the market it would be well
for wool growers to hold on to their
wool crop until the market becomes
settled.
