Buyers Of onions ard potatoes, some of
them, weakened yesterday and wanted re-
duction of prices, but Others took all which
were offered at Soc for onions and 25c for po-
tatoes A considerable quantity of onions are
taken on army contracts and some buyers
count them as good property to invest in at
SOC. AS to potatoes, buyers for shipment say
their markets are declining and there is no
money in them at 25c.
Values of live stock are reported a little
lower than last week, but in the absence of
public transactions We have no reliable quo
tations.
The usefulness of the board of trade in the
directions intended by those who established
it was proved yesterday to the satisfaction of
some of our most active commission men In
the receipt of orders to buy wheat for Eastern
millers, to be shipped through frlm st. Paul.
There is no doubt but that the superior mill
ing qualities of our northern grain can
be sold here at better advantage than at Mil
waukee or Chicago, and farmers and country
shippers will do well to send their grain here.
Eastern and Southern millers would prefer to
buy here and will take all there is to spare OF
this seasons crop, at good prices, if they
can thus take is from the home market,
sure Of its not being tempered with by
mixers.
A New York dispatch of last evening says:
"Cotton goi dis in steady demand and firm with
a slight advance in some well known makes
of brown sheetings. Prints in fair demand
and steady. Giughams selling freely. Dress
but hannels, repellents and jeans in steady de-
mand." 'i
