point to higher figures az an early day, put
on the contrary manufactures are over

present. The demand for hides is always
active, and the buyers OF this city control
nearly all the product in north Iexas
Cattle are coming in more freely, ana
some good shipments have been mace from
here in the last few days. Butchers STOCK
is plentiful on the market, ana E prices s al,
though not changed, are weak. Inc STOCK
exchanges are well supplied with mutton

hogs offered. Veal calves are very scarce

wrinkles on them. The horse market Is
active and prices are high, both for heavy
animals aud ponies. Broomcorn comes IN

GRAIN AND RREADsTUFFs.
The receipts of grain in this city were
above the usual arrivals. About i've hun
dred bushels of wheat came in by wagon,
and fully as much OF more corn; SOME
new wheat was offered on the market, put
il was not dry enough TO be salaole ana IL
did not command fair prices. CoHtracts are
being made tor new oats at thirty cents per
bushel, and from present appearances, con-
sidering the light demand from abroad, 1t
will not sell for more until later in the
season, even II 1t should bring better prices
after enquiries are made for II from abroad,
old wheat and corn commands full quota
