STIFF At 500 in sks, shiie car oorn -
quoted at SIC. The value Of oats il
Unsettled, some dealers claiming that
concessions are necessary to effect
sales, while others declare that prices
arc, or ought to be stronger. Last car
loads Of sacked oats sold at 36l per bu
and in bulk 81 to 3lle Bran is weaker
and round lots are now quoted at
tl5 50 to SIC per ton. Chopped corn
is SIS per ton. Hay rules dull for all
classes and buyers take hold sparingly
at quotations which range from $40 to
1880 per ton for western, grading
from redtOp and mixed to prime and
choice timothy. But little is
doing in prairie hay, the
total receipts Of the past week being
but carloads, aud its price is 81 per
ton. Heavy arrivals Of Western pota-
toes are noted, but the demand is
equal to the supply, aud aales have
been at 81 So to 81 IS at the track for
II peck bbls. The traffic 10 produce
is opening up quite brisk, aud dealers
in this line, as well as 10 grain, all ans
ticipate live activity during the en-
suing winter season. The poultry
trade is brisk, aud the demand has
been rather in excess Of receipts du.
ring the past week, therefore the mar
ket is stiff at quotations. The same
may be said Of eggs, and sales are gems
orally at 2lc per doz, though in some
instances they were upto pc.
