The market has besn fairly active IN all grains,
with the exception of wheat which has been very
dull Dealers have at bsen anxious to bay, and for
the last day two have gone out of the market
tirely They maintained appearance on the street
at the early part of the wsek Offering soc, and
forced to soc by the mill men, and here they were
left. The rece pts were so light that competition
for the last few loads coming to market gradually
forced the price up to CSC, which was given to-day
by the mills in lover town. and at this price sufficient
was MT obtainable to keep the mills in full running.
There has been quite good demand for oats and
corn with liberal receipts Of the former, while the
latter is and jnsufictentto meet the demand.
Brewers are all supplied with barley for mailing
purposes, and consequently the market for that
grain is dull. Dealers have not been purchasing,
and the trade throughout the season has only been
local. The prices quoted are nominal
The close weather for the last two days has some
what checked the demand for ground feed although
inquiry is made for small lots, and prices remain
firm at former quotations.
Butter remains maj tive and dull, with prices un-
improved. Advces from Eastern markets are still
unencouraging and dealers feel disposition to
handle any but the best grades, and these but eau
tously.
Eggs are becoming more PLENTIFUL but the demand
continues good and prices maintained 100 being
given for strictly fresh by the crate.
Owing doubtless to the general scarcity of good
corn, meats are more buoyant. Mess pork Is very
firm at SOC advance. Hams are 2c higher, with TIT
prospect of still further rise. Country cured hams
nominal at former quotations.
There is nothing doing in seeds, the season being
over. Prices are nominal as quoted in the tables.

There is little to notice in mercantile matters this
week. The sprin trads is over and business have
settled down to quiet trade-a trade, however,
any other year of the city's history. Many houses
report that collections this month are falling off,
which is attributed to the recent rains and the great
fall in the price Of wheatfarmers not sending their
grain to market
In groceries the general market may be reported
strong and prices unchanged. Sugars are very firm
and rice has advanced.
DR., goods houses are at present doing little more
than supply orders to ill up lines of staple goods

fabrics of summer goods. glance at the subjoined
