Monday evening, July s2, 1878.
A most welcome change occurred in the
weather yesterday Sunday and to-day, al
though the sun IS warm, there is stiff and
refreshing breeze, and it is hoped the swell
tcring heat that has cooked us for the past
week is at an end On Friday and Satur-
day business is very fair, and this morning
opened up in lively manner, showing pro-
spccts for a good week. Transactions on
-four, grain and hay were better than for a
month previous, and prices paid were very
fair. In the -four market there is a better
feeling, and prices are firm at quotations.
Stocks Of all kinds are light, and arrivals
are slow. Choice and medium grades are
very scarce. The demand is principally
for these grades. There has been
an urgent demand for choice white
corn, that cannot be satisfied, and the
market is bare. A choice article will bring
Al cents. Mixed corn is also in fair request
Oats are scarce and in moderate demand at
90 cents for good mixed in bulk. The meal
market has undergone decided change,
and to-day presents lively aspect. The
demand is active for city at s2 %, and for
country kiln dried at 81 Is per barrel.
There is no country stock in market, and
city is in limited supply. Bran is quiet at
80 per ton for sacked. The produce mar
ket is about the same as when last reported,
but dealers anticipate much better time
within a very few days, provided the cool
weather continues. Choice butter and fresh
eggs will sell at good figures. Good young
chickens are in good demand, but poor
ones will not sell Peaches and apples, II
they are choice, will sell readily.
