Farmers cannot too fully realize the fact that diff

ponds upon careful cleaning. BY passing their wheat
through the tanning mill twice, the second time with
increased speed the light worthless berries which oc

| wheat, which carelessly cleaned, would not weigh
more than So pounds can be made to turn the scale
at Sc and 81, and glance at the scale given
above will show II the difference of price will pay TO,
| the extra labor.
Corn is moving, perhaps little more freely 81
business in this grain is still anything but active
Prices are unchanged. The demand from the North
ern Pacific and the lumber regions ncreasire and
small lots are shipped daily. Receipts are liberal and
| stocks are ample.
Oats are still lower by &c than quoted last week.
The demand is fair and receipts liberal. There is
now little difference between the best quality of
new oats and the old crop. There are, however,
large quantities of very light and inferior oats in the
market.
Millstus are quiet at last weeks quotations. Bran
and ground feed are in fair demand, with fair re-
ceipts.
The butter market is getting sitter every day. The
demand for high grade butter Is very great while
the supply is small. Indeed there is great scarcity
of good buffers, and holders look for outside prices
u.
vices from the East show very lively demand for
high grades, and consgnments meet with Immediate
sale.
Eggs are becoming daily more scarce and prices
are advancing. They quoted at 15c, although
some have sold during the week high as TIC and
18c, but these were in exceptionally good condition.
There is no change in meats. Mess pork is quiet
| at former figures, and hams and dried meats are
firm at last weeks quotations.
The market is well supplied with cranberries and
apples. The demand for the former is good at S15
@1.75. Some commission men have handled few
barrels during the week at S200@2.25.
The cattle market has been even more du Il than
worth recording-in five days there we're not half a
score head disposed of in the yards. On the other
hand, cattle have been coming in literally till the
yards were crowded. Butchers seem to be holding
off for some reason or other probably with an idea
that beef will still be lower. In this they are likely
to be mistaken, for dealers becoming Disguised
and are shipping their stock to Chicago from whence
advices are received showing the market advancing
with good demand. The higher figures promised
will more than coverthe expense of shipping, besides
the market gives promise of reader sales. Some
fifty car loads have been shipped during the week.
and it is probable that in the course of day or tw
the butchers here will find it difficult to get prime
beef at advanced figures.
There is little change to record in any branch Of
the jobbing trade. Dry goods are steady and firm at
old prices, the only change being 40 on New York
mills and Wamsutta bleached cottons. Buyers
have been in town in numbers and orders from the
road have been heavier than the previous week. The
new firm Of Lindeke Bros, Warner, Schurmeir &
Co., is now in full operation and is doing thriv-
ing business. This new house is an acquisition to
the trade which is beginning to be appreciated.
Groceries are quiet in all departments. Teas, cof-
fees, sugars fruits and all staple goods remain I'M
changed. The large houses here report good bust
ness, with collections very satisfactory.
Hardware, leather and findings, boots and shoes
and hides remain last week, prices unchanged and
business equal to previous week.
In the drug market there but few immaterial
changes, the principal being quinine 10c lower spir
its turpentne 1c higher, and opium 1Oc lower.
