sacks Of bran, $50 barrels of meal, ZOO
barrels Of -four, and a considerable
quantity Of wheat and general mer-
chandise, with a few car loads of po.
tatoes and produce which came on the
market yesterday, about made up the
list for the wholesale trade, a rather
meagre showing for an active business
period. The unsettled tone Of values
is the cause Of this light movement,
and dealers are not inclined to take
hold freely, merely buying to supply
immediate and pressing wants. The
jobbing traffic is, however, quite active.
The feed stuff market is quiet, with
but little change OF values. Bread
stuffs are dull and find few buyers.
Produce is active and meets ready
buyers. Poultry is in demand at full
prices while eggs are irmer and meet
ready sale.
