during the nast week, and the shipments west
have been very heavy. Bran continues scaiGe'
and the orders are far above the supply; MIL
let seed is going off more freely, ana dealers re-
port many small orders from all directions,
There is very little demand as yet for any but
the German variety, The fall clip oil WOO woo
and the small lots yet in the hands of growers
will soon be exhausted Hides are in active de-
mand and prices are firm, especially for dry
flint AS yet there Is very little doing in hay,
and the market will not fully open until the
weather becomes more severe and the grass on
the ranges is destroyed by frosts or SHOWS. There
has been no material change in provisions,
and an kinds of meats are steady at former quo
tations. The markets are well supplied with
green vegetables, and lettuce crosses and other
varieties are plentiful Esculents are abundant
and embrace nearly every species known to the
country Poultry of ali kinds is in demand and
high in price. Eggs and butter are scarce ana
are not offered as freely as the demand warrants
Game continues scarce, although at this season
IL should be plentiful in Texas. Fruits are offered
freely, both In whoesa ale and retail way, Cali
fornia varieties geneally having the preference.
Wood is more plentiful on the streets and prices
are reduced 10 about the usual figures. Bush
ness in all departments is active, and mer-
chants are generally satisfied with the volume
of trade doing i'll the city.
ON CHANGE.
The attendance on the Exchange was not large
to-day, which is owing to the fact that the only
offerings at this season of the year could be
grain. The receipts of grain are very light and
until shipments are received from Kansas,
which will havea tendency to reduce prices, The
grain trade will not be active. Prices IN this
city are firm as follows

GRAIN AND BREADsTUFFs.
The corn crop OF north Texas mas been UNI
doubtedly large one this season, and farmers
sold their supplies last year down to the loves,
possible amount because Of the high prices paid
then, while this season they are inclined TO
keep on hand better supply for
OF this the receipts by wagon have been light
and below the requirements OF dealers. Good
arrivalg haTc bccn noueed rom the northern
counties Of The state, but they have not been adj
eQuate TO the demands made upon this city from
more distant localities. and to-day dealers are
looking TO other states for their supplies, There
a no good reason why farmers should hold their
grain longer prices are fully high as any one
could ask. and are as good as they will be In the
next few months. The receipts today were not
above what the retail dealers require, and ship
rrfIl he a
10 supply the demand made upon them. A
few cars Of corn came In by rail, but the ship
ments were fgly equal 70 we supply; paiias ., Il
Texas and the demands made upon her for
grain are above n at Of any former year. Prices
