PRODUCE AND PROVISIONS,
Business in the general produce trade must
be quoted as rather more quiet than is agree
able. The bad weather Of a portion of the
week had depressing influence while it lasted.
FLOUR-Only moderate demand has been
experienced during the week past, at uniform
" Steady prices. The local and near by orders
the eastern demand is almost exclusively for

is known as straight xxx, in the manu-
facture OF which all the middlings are used,

WHEAT-There is no new feature in regard
to this grain. Receipts are moderately light,
and shipments to the east continuous. Large
lots ct previous shipments have arrived in
New York and do not meet as active demand
as was expected, or as has always hitherto been
the good fortune of Minnesota grain. The
foreign export demand is for the best and
hardest spring grades, which are scarce and
firm. while soft wheat is represented to be in
excessive supply. The New York Bulletins
report of Saturday, says.
