load lots. Bulk corn is equally heavy
and plentiful. In the upper country
market prices are from I to 1c per
busher below this day week ago.
Oats have also declined sharply in the
Northwest. At st. Louis and Cincin-
natl they are from 5 to Sc cheaper
than week ago. Here the tone is
very fat and sales are slow to effect,
especially for new southern, many Of
which are light and soma reach market
musty and understandable. Prices
are down to 80 and 400 per bushsl in
car load lots as per quality. Last
weeks receipts were $50
SKIS against $500 SKIS the week
before and the supply OferiI 6
is 10 excess Of the demand. Bran has
ruled quiet and steady with little
doing, the weeks receipts having been
600 SKIS. Hay is also inactive with
scrrcely any receipts or transactions.
A car load or two of Southern prairie
very choice has been worked off in
dray load lots at $3.50 per ton, but
some arrivals of the new crop have
been as poor as ever came to market,
and finds slow sale as low as IS per
ton Oornmeal has been dull and
tending down all the week, and re-
ceipts were but $50 bbls. Flour is
qniet and unchanged, with receipts Of
5000 bbls, and wheat has maintained
steady position as to value through
out the week in all markets. A
leading feature is the condition of
meats, though the demand here is
light and but slightly more than has
heretofore prevailed. Quotations are,
however, irregular here aud at other
points. At Chicago, for example,
mess pork has declined e5c per Dbl
during the week, bulk c RS 65c per
cwt, clear 35c, shoulders 15c, while
lard dropped ste. At Cincinnati
bacon shoulders have declined &c pei
lb, and other classes of cut meats ! to
20 per lb. Last week Cincinnati'f
Price Current reports that the South
has not yet manifested much Increase
in disposition to place orders fol
meats. The same authority says the
total exports since November 1streach
347, 900, 900 lbs Of meats and pork, and
1879, 100000 lbs Of lard, a decrease Of
81, 100000 lbs of meats and pork and
1000, GOO lbs of lard as compared with
last year for the same time. The value
of heavy hogs Oh foot declined during
the week, while light grades wei
scarce and advanced a little and com
mand a considerable premium over
heavy qualities. The total packings
last week in the Northwest was 1885,
600 hogs, against 10000 same week
last year, and the total excess since
March LIST is 100000 hogs over last
year, while the gain in weight has
been such that the increase would be
equivalent to 10000 hogs additional
comparing this years weights with
those Of last. Ia sugar, coffee and
other leading articles nothing new hal
occurred during the week. A SHARP
advance, however, is reported in
matches.
