grading over good and medium, and as the Eastern
market rules prices here in all excepting fancy
brands, we quote New York prices current Of the

Mess pork is frmer and steady at last weeks
quotations.
The stock yards have been sufficiently well supplied
to meet all demands, and the trade has been confined
almost exclusively to the local consumption. There
has been one OF two small lots shipped to Saltwater
the other purchases having made by st. Paul butch
ers. The prices realized have been for rough cattle
2h12Lc; good mixed butchers stock &c; prime
grass fed steers 314(U31ac.
There has been little dullness with mercantile
houses the week past compared with the enormous
sh and hustle of fair week. The business done
during the latter period was unprecedented Ii the
history of the city, and ordinarily busy week would
seem comparatively dull.
Dry goods houses report fewer buyers in town than
the previous week. but orders come in freely from
agents on the road Many buyers up during the fair
did not buy largely reservng their heavy orders for
later date with the thought that it too early for
woolens, blankets and heavy domestics. Those who
could would have done well to have purchased then,
for heavy cotton fabrics and WOODEN goods will
tainy advance. The raw material in cottons
and higher, and all domestics are frmer.
The leading grocery men report even larger bust
ness than fair week. Sugars are very firm at quota
tons. Coffee is also very firm and rising. Tea
steady at former quotations. Collections re-
ported fair.
There changes to report in boots and shoes.
The factories very busy, and the packing rooms
are overrun with work, filling orders. Leather and
findings are steady at old quotations. Hardware
houses not overrIln with business, giving them
time to prepare for the winter trade which will be
imme diately upon them.
There is no change in hides and furs, and there
will be no Improvement till colder weather sets In
Wool is just now unsteady, at last weeks quota
tons.
There are no important changes to
report this week in the drug trade, iodide
of potassium, which has advanced 25c, being the only
change from last weeks quotations. The market
may be quoted steady, with buoyant feeling. Bust
during the week has been very quiet, owing in
to the large trade done during the previous
week.
