Corn is less active and the tone is
slightly easier. Hay is very dull,
second dealers being fully stocked,
with the demand exceedingly light,
and many consignees continue to store
receipts. Bran is scarce and wanted.
Flour is in limited supply, with a
brisk jobbing demand. The meat
market is stiff, with no advance from
last quotations. A good jobbiug trade
is enjoyed by our merchants, but in
the wholesale produce and feed line
there is not much doing.
