Receipts of eggs are increasing, yet prices are
strong at qOtations. Choice butter is in good
demand. and fat, healthy poultry is readily
taken at prices quoted. Apples continue dull,
but, now that the peach season is about over, an
increased demand is looked for before long. Po-
tatoes continue TO come forward freely, and the
market is weak, although prices remain about
as last quoted. The demand for hog products is
only fair, with the exception of hams. which are
IN demand and scanJ supply. The flour market
continues in unsatisfactory and duh condi-
ton, The fact is, prices are low and very IN
satisfactory TO Western mlers, but at the same
| time there is no prospect of any Improvement
as the English markets are dull as ever and
/ the export demand is nj staud-sullL Since the
Ist OF september our exports OF wheat from the
country have been 1895, 063 bushels, against
| 16,1s9690 bushels last year, falling off of
about 5000, 600 bushels, but the exports of
! Hour show an increase OF about 10000 barrels
as compared with last year, equal to about
100000 bushels of wheat. Notwithstanding our
small shipments, the English markets are over
81 ocked with foreign wheat and flour, and the
reduced shipments from this side are not missed
short crops, low prices and a limited export de-
mand for wheat and flour are not what the trade
looked for, but better state of things may pre-
vail before the season closes.
GRAIN.
The Oldest grain dealer in America admits that
he is unable to discern the future of the wheat
market. He says prices are now 10c per bushel
below his expectations sixty days ago. The
Board of Trade Price Current says of wheat:
The exact condition of the local market is diff
ground very cautiously and then only figure on
small lots. Sellers offering stocks at I9c less,
and buyers have receded 19c from yesterdays
quotations.. Arrivals very light. Futures heavy
| and very little interest in forward deliveries.
Millers not buying freely, and seem TO be
pretty well stocked up for the present. Seaboard
is l9c lower at New York, Baltimore steady, and
Phlladelphia slightly 6rmer, while Chicago, like
Baltimore, Is steady. The visible supply shows
an increase Of 1,559,951 bushels which may in
q measure account for the dull and declining
markets. We quote:
