JYeek1y Revie.o of the Wholesale Markets.
There has been but little wheat brought to market
at this point during the week, all coming in going to
the mills at from 94c to SIC. It Is thought there will
not be heavy deliveries till after harvest, although
there quite large bulk still remaining in the hands
Of grocers. The elevators still quote at $40.
Corn has declined cent, the market being well
stocked, and receipts continuing liberal; there has
been fair demand but principally in small lots.
Oats remain steady at former quotations. There is
quite healthy demand and receipts by river quite
light water is low and feights higher, and if 1t
were not for the shipments from Iowa the market
would advance. The latter State still holds large
Stocks and their harvest Is nigh at hand; It Is not
tcipated, therefore, that there will be an advance
Barley is dull, and commission men are not desir
GUS of handling at quotations, except in small quant
ties to fill orders from brewers Maltsters and brew
ers, however, are pretty generally supplied and the
market consequently is slow.
Mil stuffs are dull, might be expected at this
season; ground feed i'd only handled in very small
lots.
Flour remains dull, with prices shade lower In ell
grades except patent process.
Mess pork is weakening, and it is anticipated by
some that there will be decline shortly; others,
the contrary think that the present market is lower
than it will be again far some time to come.
Butter shows no sign of Improvement Core
spondents of shipping houses in the Eastern markets
are continually advising against shipping extensively.
They say that fancy grades of butter low that
it is next to impossible to sell the kinds,
and they hold out no hope of any improvement In the
near future
The season for seeds Is over, nothing now selling
but mIet buckwheat and rutabagas, for which there
is very moderate demand.
Eggs are in demand at lie, but they must be strict
ly fresh. The market is almost glutted with stale
eggs which are worthless. It useless for shippers
to handle anything but fresh, we'll packed crates.
The stock market has been fairly supplied with
grain fed cattle, Of which have como to market
in excellent condition, but the grade Of stock is gen.
orally inferior, and are hardly better than stockers
The market is dull none buying but for immediate
culty ct 4c and lots of very superior butchers
stock were sold at SIC. Common rough cattle ar.
not worth more than 2h02Ac
There IL little to note In connection with the genera
mercantile houses. The dull season has fairly set in
and yet many houses report An unusual continuation
of business activity. There are no changes If i'm
portance in groceries, the market in all branches be
ing firm and canned fruits little higher; kerosen
10 lower. Dry goods are quiet, and staple article
unchanged in price. Leather is hrmsr, and an ad
vance is expected. Hardware houses are doing
