dearer and lard to up. The wheat
market of the West has advanced Sc
per bushel the past week, stiFening
the feeling for flour, though it is un-
changed in price, and there is no de-
mand here for low qualities. The
past weeks receipts we're 1926 bbls,
In cornmeal only lbs bbls have arrived
the past week, and the market is De, d
dull, the local mills being very near
idle. At New Orleans meal has stiff
fened and prices are 10 to 25c per Dbl
above last week. In corn the feeling is
fat and aside from limited planta.
ton demand, with fair request from
levee builders for stock feed, there is
nothing doing. The total receipts for
the week were 100 SKIS, and more than
halt of it came from along the railway
between here and Paducah. The
Madrid bend region is now shipping
its corn directly through to New Or
leans. Oats rule steady, with no de
mand except for local consumption,
and the weeks receipts were 475 SKIS.
Bran has been scarce and firm, with
the weeks receipts $50 SKIS. Hay is
,as fat and dull as can be imagined,
while with receipts of $500 bales prices
are $la2 per ton lower. The arrivals
have all been Of medium or low grades,
and only strictly choice timothy is sal
able at present. The potato market is
very dull and the weeks receipts sum
up $50 bbls, Sales have been difficult
to effect, even when liberal concessions
were rendered. The demand for old
stock is about over, and the new crop
from Louisiana has attracted the
attention of consumers during the past
week. The value Of whisky has not
varied in Western markets. Coffee is
the same as last week, and the recent
effort to infuso vigor in the markets
Of supply proved of short duration.
Sugar and molasses are the same as a
week ago, and rice is also the same in
Louisiana, though strenuous efforts
have been made in the markets Of the
Atlantic coast and abroad to advance
prices. Butter is dull and lower.
Eggs have declined, and all kinds Of
poultry except chickens are inactive.
