sets in. The Grain business continues very
dull, and Notwithstanding stocks here are
small, prices are weak. Flour also is dun.
The Hog product stiaened up materially,
: and Is Wilt be- seen, we have advanced our
quotations from u to Y q cent per pound:
In Groceries, trade continues quiet, and
there is nothing new to record, except that
both Sugars and Cotfees are frner. Butter
continues dull. Eggs drmer:. Hay very
dull, and the same Is true Of MIL Feed.
, Business Is very unsatisfactory, as there mas
been little or no margin Tor ptoht, anu
there Is considerable complaint In regard
to collections. Since the date Of our last
review we have had considerable rain,
which was badly needed by the growing
crops, and the prospects at the present wri.
ting are all that could be desired for an
abundant harvest. rE,ra p. .a'7..E.

favor, prime selling at 121lal5c. PeddlcB
and farmers are bringing In enough 10 sup.
ply the market, hence for the present com.
mission merchants are doing next to moth.
ing. However, the feeling begins to pre-
vail that hard pan has been. reached. There
is no question but the low prices will check
receipts, and then the time Is at hand when
there Is always more or less packed for the
fall and Vinter.

scarcely as firm as 1t was week ago. '7t.
DRIED FRUtT-There is no improvement
to note in the demand, nor Is II likely that
there will be until next winter, in view Of
the fact that there is IN abundance Of fresh
fruits in the market already and the sup.
ply will be increased from this on. Peaches

FLoyR-There Is a steady consumptiye
demand for good standard flours. There is
no scarcity OF low grade offering, and ii is
very dull, US 1t Is not wanted. Dealers
nearly all report that Spring Wheat Flour
Is to q certain extent taking the place Of
winters In this market, as Il is giving much
better satisfaction; bakers are using more
OF the former than for several years, and
retailers are selling much larger proper
ton than usual. In regard to the immedi-
ate future OF tho market, the probability Is
that there will be no change in well known
brands during the next thirty or forty days;
however, II tho yield Of the coming wheat
crop should turn out as well as 1t now
promises, cheaper -four is only q question
Of time. We continue former quotations:

GRAIS-Trade in our market continues
exceedingly dull, more SO than ordinarily
at this season fthe year, when II Is always
dull, and there Is but little prospect OF any
Improvement; stocks here are light, but so
Is the demand, which Is restricted entirely
to supplying immediate wants, and while |
prices arc weak, there has been no quota
bio decline since the date Of our last re-
view. Many dealers report that they never
knew business to be SO dull here as II has
been ever since the first Of the year, and In
addition, in consequence OF IN almost un' |
interrupted Shrinkage in values, there has
been no margin, on the contrary loss.
