but some holders profess 10 see reason to hold
off for an advance. Potatoes showed nc
spirit; shippers and growers are both disap-
pointed; prices showed some irregularity. A
few green apples were received, but the first
picking appear to give dissatisfaction; they
are said TO be neither good in quality nor
plentiful in quantity; the next picking, 1t Is
hoped, will prove better. Cold weather in
the spring is said 10 be the cause, but we
have seen some small lots-and only small
ones have arrived-that were fine and sound.
The New Orleans Pic IyWHe, of Thursday, re-
ports as follows: Corn, 5lG SIC for shelled;
oats, 34c; bran IN light supply at 65c; choice
hay, $I4@14 SO. OF cornmeal the market
| is nearly bare again, and is pc higher, the
little remaining in first hands being held at
81 60d2 % per Orl; 50 brls western sold at
81 40, and IS brls city meal sold at 81 60
per brl; some offers of 81 40 were refused
| for western. Texas wheat sells by the car
load, on arrival, to the city mills, at 81 05
| per bushel. A carload OF Tennessee brought
| 81 10 per bushel. An exchange paper says:
| Perhaps the most remarkable feature Of the
market for the last month was the decline In
cereals. On May LIST, wheat, graded at Chi
| cago "a No. western red, was worth 81 30
and mixed corn 5219c, at the elevators in
| New York. On the thirty-6rst, the same
| quality of wheat was offered at 81 10, with
| few buyers, and the grade of corn mentioned
above at 45c. Corn ruled lower in the
past thirty days than at any previous time for
thirty years. The unprecedented decline was
in consequence of the full supply, the depres-
sion in the general market here and abroad,
the exceedingly promising growing crop, and
the anxiety OF spectators who held large
quantities they had purchased, ex-
pectIng foreign war-tO realize. 1t Is pos
slble prices may go even lower than they
were in May"
Corn IN our market yesterday was in small
| offering, with no transactions of interest;
best sales were at 4S949c. Odts-fne white
are offering to arrive, 36c is expected for
them. Bran was lower, as nticipated; sales
| of so and $50 sacks at Sl2 80. Hay shows
