| last Thursday, and shipped to Providence, r. l..
at Soc the freight from Chicago to that point be-
ing 00c- 1t IL also reported that grain has recently
| been taken from Indianapolis to the seaboard at
! 20c instead Of the published &c. In neither case
| can rebates be obtained from Chicago. These and
other determinations making our local 1uer-
| chants fond OF railroad management with ven-
| gcancc.
| The superior quality OF the spring wheat OF the
Northwest this year is universally acknowledged,
| A small fact will prove more than ship-load of
| assertions. A city miller has just received an
order for 200 brls -four to be sent to Cincinnati
| the first consignment to that city since the big
fire.
A lot Of long clears have just been sold in Liy-
| crpool at 37s I'D per 100 bu, the quotation being
35s Cd. The figures tclcgraphed here arc under
stood to be for old meats, the new commanding q
decided premium.

reported the export OF lot 600 bu wheat to Glou-
ccster, Dublin. aud Queenstown, und II, 400 bu
corn to Rio dc aneiro. Our wheat is going direct
to the points where wanted for consumption.
The leading produce markets were stcadlcr Sat-
urday. Provisions Auctuatcd but slight1y Bar
ley was weak under the fact Of larger supplies rye
was easier, and corn and wheat irmer, with a
good demand, though tho rccepts'of grain were

storm Of Friday night. a leading feature was 4
good shipping inquiry for wheat, which caused
unexpected strength in prices for future delivery
The demand for dry goods was unliminished.
In addition to liberal attendance Of active puycrs
the mails brought large orders, and the days sales
reached large proportions. There was more act,v-
lily IN some departments than III others, but there
wassa good general demand and uniformly firm
set Of prices. Wamsutta and Lausdon L. g.
hleacheti cottons are now quoted at llHe. There
was IN active ana dr1n grocery market Not for a
number OF seasons past have sales been of such
generous proportions ut thus TING Of year, and IL
there is every indication Of continued liberal
movement, there is cheerful feeling anon: lob
befs. Prices remain firm. especially for sugars
eirnps, motasscs. cofIccs, and rice. The ten mar
ket is workin. little more in holders favor The
demand doce not show any improvement, hut u
failing off in lmportat1ons has resulted in IN I'D
vance at thu East OF about &C per IT, and that fact
has scnsibly strengthened the feeling here. Il de-
cline Of &c III Turkish primes was tue only
change noted IN tho dr1edfruit market Fish
