There WAS nm improved trade sll round

our merchants not been caught short upon
several leading articles Thus no nike

CoFm is dull, and has "A downward tenden-
CIV. Concessions were made to-day upon
large lots. The quotations remain, with the
explanation that the market favors buyers,
The -four market is getting interesting. The
situation yesterday, NJ near as we could get
at, WIS this: Mr.. Reach, of the Crescent
mill, say, he has, and will 'have, plenty OF
wheat on hand, md that on Monday no will
begin the sale Of new Texas. Dealers in
Missouri and Kansas fancies have allowed
their stocks to run so low that Fort Worth
merchant could not find car load be wanted
sent out this afternoon. 1t Is reported he
bought to arrive, and that orders went north
to-day for several car loads. We do not
know what new flour will open at, and the
millers themselves will determine the prices
only when the time comes. We note the
market very firm and stiff, and quote: Star
w So 25, King of the Plains SO 20 Kitchen
Queen So rs, and all the other established
fancy brands at the same price per hundred
New wheat is arriving slowly, but will come
n more fr ely next week. Wequote Mt 50
,(685 cents per bushel.
Corn is in unexpected active demand, snd
catches us wit lout any mixed at all and
precious little white. 1t is very firm at the
Quotations. Orders ARE out for additional
stock which will come along in few days.
We heard nothing from wool for the rea-
son there was nothing TO report there being
none offered. The markets Of the United
States are still il the same anomalous posi-
ton they have been for several weeks past,
that is standing in the tnce OF the boom and
irving to go run below the rates before
everything in this country went up in price.
Hides unchanged
Can goods are dull and ia light demand
with conce sions to effect sales, especially in
canned vegetables.
The first new peaches o; the season mp
peared upon the market this morning, and
brought 1925 per box OF about ! Of sbushel,
or at the rate of 1918 per bu:hel Later
they wer- offered at - per box. Il is said
that the lot offered came down the Central
from the Red River Valley, They were of
moderate size and would be classed Inferior
alter in the season, a sort of "Hobson
choice"--only one article.
The cherry, plum, and melon markets are
very active with the fruit stands max ne very
respectable displays OF all these, and with
the melon brigade, like peaches, too high Tor
many folks to smell.
