COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, July 31.-The recent
hot weather has rstarded harvesting and DANA
ged crops toa considerable extent. Oats will
almost be total failure, owing to the rust.
Barley is fair average crop, and wheat from
half to two-thirds, Corn and potatoes never
promised better.

week l48, TAO bushels; previous week. 267 ,736;
corresponding week Of 1875, $50, AS. Ship
ments Last week, liza, 635 bushels.
This market was very unsettled during the
entire week. Sales and purchases were entire
~ speculative. Most of the trade was to fill
contracts or for August and September deliv-
cry. Much of the falling off in last weeks
prices was recovered early in the week, again to
tall or decline. However on the whole prices
were better than at the close of our last report
New York and Liverpool reports were favora BILE
to holders. During the very warm and damp
weather reports became current that grain in
the elevators was heating. A committee from
the Board Of Trade examined and allayed an
xiety by reporting that the heating was con-
fined to but few bins. For range Of prices the
reader is referred to our grain table.

1t must be confessed that the Greenback

That sober second thought" is beginning to
exert itself. Every where we find a growing
sentiment Of dissatisfaction with the attitude OF
the Old parties and disposition is man

itical gods. Yesterday the greenback votes of
Pennsylvania met III State convention at
Philadelphia and active steps We're taken for
the campaign. The lumber and coal regions
were fully represented. Hon. Frank w.
Hnghes,t the leaoer OF the Schuylkill Democracy
sent letter OF sympathy, i'll which he said:
count he as willing to serve the general views
OF the Greenback party" and agreed to go on

PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS

Business is barely moderate in amount, as
is usually the case in midsummer. Quotations
of produce show considerable degree of stead
mess, although there are number of impor-
tant fluctuations within the week under
review.
FLOUR--Trad is quiet, both as regards the
local and northwestern demand and eastern
orders. The complaints from the east Of infer
Ior quality are not SO general or bitter as they
We're month or two ago, but they are still
sufficiently numerous and severe to indicate
that Minnesota flour must be made from better
wheat than the soft stuff remaining from last
years crop, ii our millers would regain their
former reputation, and the firm hold they had
obtained Oh the affections OF consumers Of first
class flour.
Quotations OF "patent process" flour continue
measurably firm at 5000 to 500 per barrel.
Straight XXXX. made without separation OF
niddlings is dull at S4,75 to 800. Interior
brands OF xxx flour are to be quoted at
"a % to 100; xxx, at $50 to 400; Red Dog
at ", 5O rye flour at 8, 20 to $50 per 100 lbs:
bolted corn meal at 81 80 to 40 per 100 lbs,
and very firm at the price.
WHEAT-Buyers feel very sore over their
late experience, which resulted in heavy loss,
Notwithstanding very low rates of freight to
New York. Large amounts OF wheat had ac-
cumulated here, and in various country rail-
road warehouses contiguous to this point which

IN Numerous sales lately made the entire cost
OF transportation from StPaul to New York has
been utterly sunk.
Just now there are few deliveries of wheat at
the warehouses of this city, farmers being too
busy 10 haul i'll their surplus, or too indifferent
to the price. Quotations are therefore nominal,
