TUESDAY, y Inc h. J
As will be seen below, the -four and
grain market is getting worse and
worse. Flour has fallen - cents per
barrel since last week, and the best
wheat is only worth 81. There is liter
ally no sale for -four, and even those re-
tail dealers who have run out OF stock
will not buy, as they think there will be
further drop in prices soon. Inc
largest grain dealer in the city says that
If the present dry weather continues two
weeks longer, whca. will be quoted 3. 10
cents.
The provision trade is in furnishing
condition, the sales being large and the
market firm.
Grocery mon continue to do big
business. They say last month was the
best month for sales that they haVe
known for years.
Produce is selling well and at good hg-
ures. Dealers are IN good spirits, and
say that the business is better than
at this time last year. They have no
trouble in making collections from retail
grocers and hucksters, and they think
that the cry Of "iard times" Is humbug.
Wool is still dull at 3l@33c. About
$4,000 pounds of the new clip have been
received by Mr.. Henry X. List, and be
thinks 1t is about the same in quail
ity as for several seasons. He
says the outlook for wool is
gloomy and unsettled.
Messr8. Justice, Bstomsn u Co., Of
Philadelphia, say:
The wool market continues dull and
/ prices, although showing rather less
weakness are still in buyers favor.
/ Manufacturers show no inclination 10
/ buy faster than their present wants re-
quire and are quite Indifferent TO the
opening prices in the country. The
| smount of old wool carried over IL much
larger than last year, owing to the stop
page during the last three months of II
/ large amount of machinery.
Old fine washed tiseces are III largest
supply and sell at 3593Ic for y and IN
OHIO, if in good condition, the same
prices for West Virginia Y sDd Xxx, and
| 32634c for Michigan. THIS is cheaper
to manufacturers than new wool at two
cents less, which fact gives some indiCa-
ton OF the prices Tor the coming clip.
On the basis of present prices 2SH3Oc
for Ohio Aeeces and 25c for Michigan, Is
ss high as is safe to pay.
The new woods that have arrived have
| sold =. 3Oc for unwash Comblng and de-
lame and 1T this price we have place
for a large quantity. Medium unwashed
clothing sells NJ % G3O; this is for three
! eirhths to One-haf merino, light and
open. Coarse, or CnG-iovrth blood, I'M
washed clothing is slower of sale and
neglected at 2j626c. We have made
sales 1T the latter figures, but It mas not
been taken freely. Fine or merln2 IN
washed sells slowly at 23@2jc Only the
ightcst shrinking fine woods will bring
25c
We think GOOD average unwashcd
ought TO be bought At 2Jc or less. Some
new Ohio fine washed sold on arrival nj
35c for y and Xxx clothing; medium 3Sci
and cornbing 4Oc. Tuhwashed sells AT
35c tor common, and 3SGfOc for good,
| clean lots, medium grade.
