tinucd through the year, would give to Chicago

4 sample Of the East Indian wheat now being
sold In London was forwarded last week to Robert
Warren Of this city. It is very fine, large berry,
very closely resembling tho California product-
The Chicago produce markets were moderately
active in the aggregate on Saturday, but irregular
in TINT respect; while provisions variable in
prices, and breadstuf1s generally steadicr. The
weather was still cloudy, and little rain
fell, but there was widespread hope that
it will now clear up, though no one felt
certain about it. The tone of advices from other
points was not generally favorable to holders ex-
cept In provisions, and buyers for future delivery
were not quite active during the earlier days
Of the week. The shipping movement was more
active, but chiefly in corn.
Dry-goods were ordered with fair liberality by
local retailers well as the country trade and the
market presented steady tone. Jobbcrs Of gro-
ceries were doing satisfactory business. In
values oquotablc changes were apparent. Sugars,
teas, slrups rice, coffees, and most of the minor
articles held at fully previous figures. Butter
was in active demand, and, although in large sup
ply, former quotations were sustained. Cheese
remains abont steady. The receipts are not
greatly In excess OF the current requirements OF
the trade. Prices Of fish, canned goods, and dried
fruits ranged the same as On Friday, where us q
rule they were steadily held. In the COAL wood,
basgins, leather, and tobacco markets, no impor-
tant new features were developed. Paints and oils
were reasonably active and firm. The advance in
carbon noted Friday wss fully sustained.
The offerings Of cargo lumber we're smal1 Satur-
day, and little was done nfter the early hours.
Piece stuff was in good demand and firm, and the
same may be said Of most grades of inch lumber.
The ynrd trade continues moderate ut una1tered
prces. Wool was In light Western request, and
steady under rather small receipts. Broom-corn
hay, aud hides were unchanged. Seeds
were very quiet. Timothy and flax were salab1e
1T full prices for prime samples, but other grades
were dull and weak. Green fruits were abundant
and easier, the demand being only fair, while |
sellers were anxious to close out before night. !
Poultry was stcadier, and some descriptions |
stronger. Eggs we're steady.
Lake freishts were active, chiefly On corn |
vessels, at unchanged rates, at 24c for wheat and
2Ac On large vcasels for to Butfalo, both by |
sail. Rail frejghta we're quiet and unchanged, |

phia, 17hc to Baltimore, and 25c to Boston, per
