to the heavy arrivals previously, to the
large stocks in store and to the fact
that new month was at haud. Re
ceipts of -four here the past week were
1850 bbls, and prices are aheat as
before, though the tone is 10 buyers
favor. Dealers are we'll supplied and
have been slow to take round lots. In
Western markets wheat is fraction
higher than a week ago, but this has
not impaired any strength 70 the tone
Of -four. Oornmeal has ruled dull and
droopy all the week. At New Orleans
values are 10 to l5c per Dbl lower than
a week ago, and here the reduction is
even larger, with very limited re.
quest. Lots are freely offered at $500
per Dbl. with fe = takers. Local mills
are doing but little, and the total re-
ceipts for the week have been but ZOO
bbls. Nearly $500 SKIS Of corn arrived
during the week, large.lot coming
from White river, and to be used
mainly by millers as soon as the de
mand for cornmeal sets in. Prices are
2 to 30 per bushel lower than ruled a
week ago. 0foats 1000 SKIS have ar.
rived the past week, and prices show a
slight advance. OF bran 600 bags
arrived, and prices are droopy and
lower. In hay but little change is
noted, except increased dullness for
Southern prairie and poor Western.
Strictly choice timothyis scarce and
in some demand, but other species are
very slow Receipts for the week in,
clude 1900 bales and several cars OF
prairie from the West. The total
receipts of potatoes last week we're
barely 400 bbls, and the value Of seed
classes is wholly nominal, while eating
varieties are droopy and inactive.
Il Business in potatoes is now mainly
confined to the small order and jobbing
! traffic The supply in dealers hands
isquite liberal, but is gradually works
ing off. Apples are lower, also oranges
and lemons. New vegetables hare
been coming from New Orleans
and TIC first arrivals Of new
potatoes and strawberries are noted
Sugar, coffee and rice rule wholly un-
changed from last weeks prices.
Poultry is lower, and eggs have been
in a fucsuating condition. The meat
trade las been exceedingly unsettled
and though values have huctuated
very little during the past two weeks,
yet strenuous efforts have been made
to advance prices, mainly, however
without success. The receipts here
the past week have been only A car
i
loads Of cut meats, and the heavy
stocks previously on hand have been
largely reduced, despite the fact that
the demand has not been excessive in
any quarter. lo hr2a aatnli8 4"
