The past week has not shown any great activity in
wheat The receipts have been very light, and on
two days not single bushel to market by road,
and much of that which was brought in was stored,
growers preferrng to risk fall rather than sell at
$780, the price which has ruled during the whole week.
There or two loads sold for 90c to the mills
early the 18th and Oath, but the bulk of the little
sold on those days went for 88c.
There is quite large supply Of good hard corn in
store and receipts liberal and there is good de-
mand at 1c less than last weeks quotations.
Oats continue firm at old quotations and the de-
mand is very good the receipts being hardly suf6-
Gent to meet the demand.

ground feed in small lots. The supply ia light and

use, and there are no shippers on the market lot

fancy steers have remained in the market two weeks

of extra butchers steers sold at 4c; lot of prime
steers, fancy grade, and an equal number of we'll
fatted heifers and COWS sold at 4Ac.
The principal of of our largest grocery houses
writes from New York that reaction in sugars is in
evtable, and higher prices may be looked for.
Dried fruits are lower influenced by the new fruit
coming in
Hardware quotations are considerably changed
from last weeks figures, the market being con-
sderably off. Nails lower by loo, SOC lower,
tin plates sheet iron, and copper bottoms are also
lower.
There is no trade in furs, and hides are dull, at
Nc lower prices Wool is also lower by 1c.
