bio changes in prices. The weather Is grow
inc excessively hot, the Thermometer getting
above the 900 mark by u. m, and not 60
ing below until afier shutdown. Well, it is
that time of year when we may expect Ice to
slightly improve hydrant water. The sun is
more or less enervatng, however, and
has tendency TO paralyze all manner OF
industries, which is the reason we should
plant early.
Corn is in fine dcmand. -Four ear loads

morning. Two cars Of white bulk were of
fered on the track ut 80 cents. In store 1t

Flour has Il tendency to settle at 81 30
basis, or "ratoe," rs the iron and nail people
nut il. Whatever that may mean, we mean
that an article which will make good bread
md biscuit, can DO bought Mt $3 70 per
hundred, and other grades in proportion.
There ia an exceptionally fine line of llours
now offering in the Dallas market, good
enough for Mister anybody.
Meats were firm at the revised quotations
Yesterday. A bad blunder was made In
printing them 3-8 appearing, which
should have read 3.S for clear bacon Sides,
There is no lot up in packing at Chicago, l02-
900 hogs having been killed there last week.
Tho Chicago Times Of Monday says: "The
majority of local manufacturers are moder
ately well supplied with ice, and would no
doubt cut double the number of hogs could
they get them. While not quite as large rs
during the previous week, tho receipts of
hngs for tho week just closed must be termed
very liberal, exceeding the arrivals for CORE
spending week last year nearly 10000 head,
while in point OF qullitya gain is also no.
ticoable. Shippers and packers have both
purchased quite freely. Receipts of hogs
for the week closing on Friday even
ing, were 129,26S head, against 1871 1888
head the previous week; 5000 head for tho
corresponding week in 1879, and 1925 for
the same week in 1878. Receipts since the
been 1,ll4,032 head, against S2l ,Dl tor the

There is u slightly improved tone in the
wool market, though there is still IN uneasy
feeling and buyers are very cautious.
The Chicago Times of Monday has the
following: i"Sales during tho past week
wore only to limited aggregate amount, and
were generally Of small parcels on order ac-
count to meet actual wants, while the market
was weak and unsettled throughout. There
is no new wool coming In to any amount ms
yet, and prices are fully &c per ID lower all
around than a month ago, further slight
decline having taken place since our last re-
port. In u word, there Is a feeling of uncer-
tainty, not unusual ut this season of the year,
However, and. operators Of all classes are dis
posed to pursue cautious policy and await
developments. Considerable new wool is
offered ut southern points, with but few buy
eT. Asking rates from store for eastern
Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois wool range as
follows: Tub-washed bright 50955c per Ii;
do dingy and coarse 45G4Sc; aeece-washed
medium 4S150c do fine 43(145c; do coarse
40G945c :. unwashod medium 30G35c; do
coarse 26@30c; do fine bright 25'd CSC; do
heavy 20to25c; bucks fleece 1Sto20c. Com
signments from western Iowa, Nebraska and
Kansas sell at about 20 per ID less than this
range, and bury and poor conditioned lots
1T 3to5c less Colorado wool (unassorted) is
quoted at 2Sto32c per ID for medium to fine;
25(127c for coarse to medium at 25(926c
Tor black, and at 22to2ic for coarse CARPET

Dealers and consumers are in state of re-
helion about the prices demanded for eggs
and chickens. Sellers were to-day wanting
70 cents for eggs and 20 TO 90 for chickens
We saw 81 paid for four chickens not nm
ounce heavier than partridges. But that
place where feathers are scorched pretty
quick was sever, times alluded to during the
transaction. Prices are irregular in eggs
Butter is in foe supply and steady at 10 IL
cents per pound for Il sound article.
