out-turn hereabouts is expected to be
about two-thirds Of a crop, and good
prices for early diggings are certain.
Shippers r contracting to pay 81 %
per Dbl measure for whole crops de-
liverable duringthe ensuing week. Re-
turns for first shipment made last
week have been very satisfactory.
Cincinnati so far has had the best of
our shipments, but Chicago, st. Louis
and Indianapolis will get their share
from this forth. The prospects Of a
light hay crop in the Northwest has
impaired tone TO the market at all
points. 1t is stated by dealers that
the meadow average is much reduced,
while the crop is less promising this
year han usual. The Arkansas
prairie hay-makers report a good crop
Of wild grass nearly ready for harvest,
and the prospect of improved prices
should cause extra exertion on their
part in saving all they can, as there is
likely to be a ready market for a very
large yield. Prices Of leading articles
during the past week show only slight
variations. Meats are in good de-
mand, but prices are sluggish. Corn
shows strength, and meal likewise, the

diminish for several weeks to come.
