for hay. 1t is reported hat this crop
has fallen short in the West and
prospects favor highprices throughout
the season. Corn is weaka Inc a shade
lower. Bran firm and slightly up
ward, dealers in the main storing their
receipts. Oats hold their own fairly.
Flour maintains a strong tone, while
meal is weak and droopy. In potatoes
sales continue slow and the market is
draggy. Well informed observers
believe that the potato crop
of the Ohio river valley
will yield for southern ship
ment this season upwards Of 100000
bales. AS the water in that stream is
now swelling, and good navigation is
close at hand, we may look for an
early coming Of the broad-horn fleet
and full receipts of potatoes and other
Ohio valley produce. In the first
line the apple crop is reported short,
and prices are expected to be we'll
sustained throughout the season.
