market Is being shipped east, because OF
the of low rates Of freight offered by
eastern railroads.
Choice heavy oats are in good demand,
but there is none in the market. The
receipts are nearly all of Middle and
Southern Illinois growth, and they arc
slow sale.
City meal is still firm and the mills
are wanting corn very badly, not having
enough to keep them running. and the
supply OF meal, consequently is light.

holds at 81 %. Both grades are quiet.

The market is still weighed down with
common butter, which merchants cannot
dispose Of at any price. None will sell

urgent. There is very little choice on
the market. There are no eggs here,
and fresh ones are in good demand at 12I
cents.

market freely, and the supply has been

but small clings, which are coming moro
freely than any ather kind. are hard to
get rid Of. Only choice are wanted.
