UeueEah Ifuues
An unsettled feeling prevails in
breadstuffs, feed and provisions. Buy.
ers of lots are shy and lack confidence.
while at all markets of supply large
stocks are accommodating. The eleva-
tors and g%raneries, of Chicago and
points on the lake are full, while al
st. Louis heavy stocks are in store
and elevators with vast fleets Of empty
barges and tow.boats awaiting oppor-
tunity to load, but no buyers care to
make ventures in the present state Of
values, which are too high and uncer-
tain to admit of profit to the regular
foreign shipper Here trade at pres
ent in all leading articles is chiefly
Of a small jobbing and plantation or.
der nature. All wholesale and com
mission dealers report round lots Of
-four and grain, etc. dull, and .are tax
ing small lots only, to satisfy inme
date requirements.
