The general tone of the provision market

The New York Daily Rulletin OF Tuesday
comments as follows:
There has been very little of Importance

however, been geneal stagnation IN an

for there are no parties or interests whlcn

much higher prices for hog products for the
present at least, and it would appear that the

GRAIN.
There has been fair demand for corn dur
ing the week, and prices have ruled firm, the
market closing to-day with a better feeling.
Wheat is steady at our figures, and oats are
dull.
The New York Daily Bulletin Of Wednesday
says:
The downward tendency.in prices for almost
all staples in this market was arrested, as
noted at the close of the last review week,

correct as regards corn, wheat and flour, tenn

produce lower ones here, although the bottom
is thought TO be nearly reached, unless we get
hot corn in large quantities and large receipts.
The amount on the canal and lakes Is not large,
yet IL is quite full for the present condition of
the markets, and should July options here be-
come dull or so slow as not TO offer profit TO
bring cash corn on from Chicago, IL may pro-
duce a glut OF spot corn in that market and
thus carry this off.
The market is reported fairly active, with
ample stocks. Prices ruling steady for
most articles, though we note to-day a slight
decline in sugars.
The New York Daily Bulletin of Wednesday
says:

of the leading articles and as a rule the tone
developed was Of reasonably cheerful char
acter, especially as sellers retained about all
the previous advantages, and in some cases
made a further slight gain.
