On Change.

ST.. PAUL, De-. 81, L8s3.-Ehis morning the
attendance at the board of trade was small,
small grain dealers being conspicuous in their
absence and but slight interest was taken in
wheat during the call the majority of the
members present were discussing butter,
poultry, hogs and ground feed. When
the call was made for wheat the few dealers
present placed the bids and queries at Wednes-
days quotations. Comparing with last year
wheat was yesterday &c higher on No. l
hsrd. No. was quoted at 1c more
than ON the corresponding day Of
last year. No. regular was just
about the same, being quoted yesterday
atS0986c, according to condition, and last yesr
at 85c. Corn opened steady for present at
Wednesdays prices; options were little off,
January falling 1c, and February had no bid
ders. May opened with SIC bid, and Gle was
asked; sellers, however, gave way rapidly, and
the asking price soon went down to
Coo, and closed at SOC. New corn was wholly
neglected-none was asked for and none offered.
There was some little life in oats, which ad-
vanced lie on Wednesdays buying price for spot,
and there was but slight marg in between buyer
and seller for futures, 1Sc only on January,
the fraction being rendered by the bears; an IN
divided copper only marked the difference be-
tween bears and bulls for February and May.
Compared with 1872 the market is away of,
mixed oats spot being 61Ec less than 20 Dec. '82,
the same difference existing in
all grades and in options excepting mixed
for May, which in '82 was but 1c higher than
yesterday quotations. Barley was quiet at for
mer quotations. A sample of old No. 8, rather
off color but sweet and sound, was offered at
45c but WAS not sold; there is no demand for
anything but mailing, which must be of good
color. Ground feed is still stiffeniug and buy
ers advanced another dollar, making buying
price $2l, and one lot.was sold at $23. Bolted
meal, the other hand, was off
81. Eggs were in request at lie
additional. Holders also advanced 1c
Live hogs were asked for at Sc with no sell
ers and dressed hogs were in demand at 614c
with none offered. Mess pork also took cor
responding leap and is now quoted ESQ over
Wednesdays market. Below will be found
