the apple crop promises to be equally
prolific. Peaches are selling on the streets at

accomplished here as well as in the northern
states if measures are taken to preserve them
In the vegetable line, there has been more pro

ON CHANGE
There was more animation on change to-day
than usual. There was a disposition on the part
of nearly all to do some trading, and in conse-
fected Some good orders have come to this city
for oats and parties are endeavoring to fill them
and make commissions One gentleman slated
| that he had purchased fifteen cars of choice
and had orders for fifty cars if he could fill them
at prices which would justify shipments. The
| quality of spring oats offered is far below the
standard of No 2, and as they are sold by sam
pie 1t is difficult TO give Ineligible prices of this
| staple There is an active demand for choice
winter rust-proof oats, and the probabilities are
! that they will not decline far below present
prices, even if the yield in the northern states
| have been as prolific as represented. There is
good demand for corn for shipping purposes,
and the prices are well maintained IN

taken at quotations. Very little new corn is on
the market Barley is finn in anticipation of a
heavy demand this fall for seeding purposes
There is little rye offered and prices for II are
