trade next month. There has been IN
unusual dullness all summer, especially in
grain end produce circles, There lisa very
fair demand for hog products, but prices arc
easy, and for some kind lower. Flour con.

cepton OF sugars, for whicht here Is 0 steady
demand, the grocery trade continues dull.
Butter, eggs and cheese In fair request but
unchanged. Fruits and vegetables in good
supply, and prices as compared with the
date OF our last report arc lower. Es.i.t

production Is probable, st Iii l-
