was not much animation in trade. There were,
however, good shipments abroad, some going 10
Arkansas and Others in Il westerly direction.
There Is very little doing in corn, and prices
were lower to-day than they have been for
months past Receipts of barley are light and
the demand is liberal, parties desiring to hold
II for seeding purposes There was good ill.,
guiry for rye, but parties holding it were firm
In their askings. Millet seed was offered freely
to-day. one party having four cars, but as there
will be but light demand for IL until next
spring, very little interest was taken in II.

10 ascertain the prices paid on the streets for oas
and corn: In East Dallas, dealers state that
they frequently offer 40 cents for oats in bulk
from wagons which offers are refused by
farmers They pay from IS To 4 cents for choice
fall oats, and can purchase II for no less In
Dallas proper, choice fall oats bring from 40 To
AZ cents. spring oats sell from % TO 50 cents aS
per quality The general impression prevails
that in future onts will arrive very slowly and
that present prices viii be maintained. New
corn sells from a To 30 cents per bushel of 50
POUNDS, ~ Is ui course green and will undergo
considerable shrlnksge. Old corn brings from
10 10 rs cents. The probabilities are that corn
