There is no material change to note In thecity
markets The flour trade Is quiet and rather dull
In the grain trade wheat Is steady and somewhat
easier IN price, while corn IS lower, and oats
active, with prices steady. Hay is not coming in
SO nveiy as heretofore, and good qualities are
getting scarce and prices little stff. Butter re-
celpts from near by sources are not large, and Is
OF poor quality. The old stack is still large and
dinlcult to dispose OF There is an increased de-
mand for New York fresh butter and a correspond
ingly neglect OF old grades. The butter market Is,
however, regarded in healthier tone than few
weeks since: There is little inclination to reduc
ZION IN price. Theegg market has been rather de-
presseo, IN consequence OF large receipts, the
price for fresh country having fallen to 15c but the
Ieceipts having fallen OF yesterday, they are a
little f1rmer and more active Poultry is slow to
arrive, and is caught up as soon as exposed for
sale at good prices All Kinds Of dried fruit is
are also growing searee CHOICE northern ana
western apples In sound condition command good
ppices me Vegetable market IS nrmer and higher
on cnolce KINDS Good seed potatoes are In de-
mand at advanced prices.
