COMMERCE AND TRADE.

the more northern states, can be marketed at
time when they will command the highest
prices. The farmers of Texas greatly took ad,
vantage Of the benefits thus oifred them, and
were not slow in threshing and selling their
products. The consequence Is that the greater
portion ofths years crop has already found its
way to the great grain cities OF tho country;
There are still large quantities of wheat and
oats In this portion OF tho state but ii Is DOUBT
full If the present prices can long be maintained.
The late rains came at an opportune time Tor
the growing corn and this crop will simply
be immense, and will no doubt have an inilu-
cnce on the price OF oats. The ruling quotations
Of wheat oats Old corn, barley and rye, are not
different from what they were ono week ago
New corn Is coming In IN small quantities, and
has up to this date brought eighty cents but these
figures will probably be reduced during the
coming week, III arrivals are good The corn
crops north of Kansas are reported NJ being in
a bad condition and more than half an adver-
age Yield is not EXPECTED. This. may
continue the present high prices OF that
staple In the north, and Il is not improbable
that heavy shipments will be made to both
Chicago and st Louis from Texas during the
coming fall and winter III this view OF the case,
1t Is reasonable to suppose that corn will not
soil here for less than thirty or thirty five cents

any rye has been offered on the market hare this
season. The amount of barley produced In this
state Is very small and although 1t is one of the
best paying crops of tho country, farmers hore

year. The flour market remains firm ut former
quotations, and will not probably decline, I'M
less there should be still further reduction In
the price of wheat in the north. There have
been no receipts OF cotton here during the past
week and only four bales remain in store in This
city and prices are nominal. Cattle come in
very slowly and there has been an advance of n
quarter of cent for good beeyes. Mutton
sheep are far from being plentiful, and butchers
are only able to supply themselves with enough
TO meet local requirements. Veal calves and
spring limbs are entirely out of the market
Horses. mules and ponies sell readily and at
wool clip has been marketed, and prices are not
as hrm as week OF. twoago Heavy green hides
are in active demand, while dry Hin
are rather dull on the market Prices OF all
kinds, however are steady. This has been Il
remarkably favorable season for the growth of
esculents and vegetables, and the country has
never before been so bountifully supplied with
oil kinds. Prices continue good and are remu-
ons, both ON the streets and in all the retail
houses, are more than abundant, and farmers
find 1t difficult To dispose OF all they bring to
market; Prices, of course, are low. The peach
