HOME MARKETS.

Since the first of the month the markets
have been livelier than they have been dur
ing this season, especially in cereals:
CoRS-This market Is the most active, ow-
ing to the fact that great many local farm
ers here. held over one and two crops and the
plentitude of the yield of this year causes
the rush Of o.d corn TO the market to be con-
siderable in order to get il out Of the way be-
fore the new crop comes In and reduces the
price.
WHEAT The streets, yesterday, were
crowded with teamss, loaded with new
wheat, the quality of which averaged above
that brought in after harvest last year. The
new wheat that has been milIod has produc-
ed an excellent quality of flour which has
cansed a heavy demand from the East. Mr..
III. ID. Rush, of the Leavenworth Mills, is be-
hind with his orders for flour to the extent of
6,fO) sacks, or six hundred thousand pounds
This fact alone shows that Eastern buyers
are on the alert To get Kansas products.
There is no local change reported in the
price.
OATs-Tbe oats crop is good, although the
yie:d, in some localities, is not SO large as
predicted. IL is thought prices will rule low
er than present quotations, and a consider.
able amount Will he shipped East.
HAY-Nery Lit. offered at present prices
in the city, but considerable has been deliv-
cred at Ft. Leavenworth on contracts.
PoTAroEs-The market is well supplied.
The crop is so large that prices will rule down
and a great many Will be shipped Fast The
quality is better by large per cent. than the
crop of last year.
RYE-NeTy little has as yet been offered on
the market. The crop has not been large on
account of the slight demand OF former
years.
SToCK-Farmers, as a general Thing, are,
this year, paying more attention To the quail
ity OF the stock tleyI intend TO raise Than
lie quality as heretofore, Mr.. Ell. Latts, OF
this city, reports that in purchasing lots for
shipment-both cattle and hogs-he finds u
marked improvement within two years.
GRoCERIEs-This department Of commerce
Is In a healthy condition. A large number
of dealers who rely on country trade and
have therefore .carried" their customers un-
til crops were gathered, are getting dollar
for dollar on their accocnts. The demand for
a better class OF supplies is apparent, hence
the stores are stocked with good goods.
