over supply, with light or inferior 10
bulk at lower figures, but no change OF
prices has occurred in sacked Of good
heavy quality. Receipts for the
past week include $500
sacks Bran is q shade lower, with
receipts Of 1850 SKIS. Hay is plehti>
iul, aud all classes rule easy except
southern prairie, the receipts having
been 5000 bales. Potatoes have ar.
rived to the amount Of 5000 bbls aud
all good classes meet ready sale at
81 40Al 80 per Dbl OF IL peck size,
and 40 to 43c per Blu in SKIS or 30 to $50
IN bulk. Small potatoes in small bbls
have seld down TO 25c per bu and 81 10
per Dbl, and such offerings are slow to
sell Apples are 10 demand at g Is
to s. 30 ct the track or landing for
good qualities, while poor and trashy
went off from 81 rs to 81 per Dbl. Re
ceipts for the week, 1850 bbls. Onions
are easy and lower, with offerings 10
excess Of the demand, and sales OF
lots at 81 20 per Dbl The weeks re-
ceipts include 500 bbls. The chicken
market has been over supplied for sew
eral weeks aud all classes are very
dull, while geese are in like condi-
ton. Ducks aud turkeys, however,
are in demand, and the latter, ii
choice, sell up to SIG and Sl8 per doz,
while dressed is Ia to Ice per ID.
Game If in good order, has also COM
handed remunerative prices, but much
that offered previous to the recent cold
weather arrived in bad order and there
fore said very low, or was thrown away.
Eggs have been scarce and high all the
wee and sales were up to 300 per doz,
present figures ruling a little lower
than that The meat trade has been
quite active, 80 car loads Of cut quali-
ties arriving during the week, and
prices are easier, a decline Of / to 90
having occurred at leading points
north as compared with a week ago.
The demand here now runs almost
exclusively on dry sailed qualities aud
smoked sides are almost out of stock.
Indeed it is asserted that there is not
at present thousand pounds Of smok
ed sides in the city. Quotations for
the same are therefore omitted. A
feature OF trade values here may be
noted in the fact that within the past
week over 1900 bbls of potatoes and
1000 bbls OF apples have been sold.
while 1900 SKIS OF oats have come
upon the market, many Of the latter,
however, have been stored to await a
demand, as dealers are all full. 1t
may also be noted that 100 car loads Of
cut meat have been received here
since the first Of the present month.
