OATS.

A decrease noted in the receipts Of oats
during the past year is attributed, like that
of other feedstuas, TO the large surplus
produced in the country for local use.
Since the harvest in June a considerable
quantity Of oats grown in the river valley
to the south and elsewherein this vicinity,
as well as in Texas, have found their way
to this market, but prices realized were
from &c 10 &c per bu lower than Western
grown qualities commanded, they being
lighter aud less desirable. Prices opened
last September at S9c and 40c per Blu and
touched DC, the highest figure reached, in
March. They have since gradually de-
clined, and during August we're down to
Doc and 36c for the best qualities, while
Texas and home raised were between &c
and 49, c, as per weight and condition. In
81 and 80 values ranged from Csc to 66c,
and in 80 and 81 between SIC and 4Sc.

HAY.

The average weekly consumption of hay
here the past year has been 1925 bales, a
decrease from the previous year Of 1856
bales. The season Of 18Sl-8l showed re-
ceipts of almost $1,000 tons, against 1900
tons the year before, and for the season
just closed the receipts have been II, $50
tons, including some 200 car loads of
Southern prairie hay from the west Of
this. Prices Of the latter have ranged
from s. to 50 per ton, the high
est being in December last, and
the lowest in May. For Western
timothy values have ranged from Sl4 to
Is per ton for the best, and from 81 TO Il
for poor TO medium qualities. The highest
price was in December last and the lowest
In February. For the past five months hay
has shown very little animation, and val
pes have been almost uniformly steady.
and for the last three months the average
receipts have not exceeded 800 bales pei
week. The abundance Of stock feed fol

CagNMEAL

Ihe value Of c0rnmeal September Isl
last year was SO 80 per Dbl. A gradual
decline set in, which continued without
intermission until the close of December,
when 2 As per Dbl was touched, and since
then il has vaf5od between 2 40 and 100,
the latter figure being attained in Febru-
AIRY and March, when a powerful effort
was made by spectators in the markets
of the Northwest to control the value OF
essentials and drive prices up to something
near figures attained the year before, when
supplies were much reduced by light har-
vests. Thevalue of cornmeal IN this mar
ket In 1882 ranged between 3 As and
4 80 per Dbl, the latter being the highest
touched here for more than 10 years. Six
local mills here ground over 10000 bbls
that season, and during the one Just closed
background less than half as much. The
consumptiye demand in this vicinity OK
hibits a marked reduction, owing to an
abundant yield at home for the home sup
plv.

GRAIN AND

The grain and produce traffic of this
market for the past twelve months has
been mainly satisfactory 10 merchants and
dealers, though the volume exhibits a
marked decrease in all lines from last year,
yet it compares favorably with former
seasons. Last year yielded good harvests
in all lines. and the Southern people pro-
duced q large surplus of many articles,
while nearly all Of the food essentials were
abundant for the local supply in the nor
thern portions Of the cotton belt, and es-
pecially so in the grain growing regions OF
the South. The year before proved disas-
trous for cereals in the South, hence heavy
purchases we're made in the grain grow
ing districts Of the Northwest TO supply
the deficit, and immense shipments were
distributed through this market. The
traffic fell of as o as the bountiful hRr-
vest Of last autumn furnished a supply at
home. For the past FIVE months trade in
feedstuH has been very light in this vi
entity, the demand being but little more
than local, and to supply gangs Of leveg
and railroad builders. The prospects Of
the crop now about 10 DO harvested is
favorable as whole. Certain localities
ia the South will te short Of corn, but in
the Northwest but little apprehension Is
felt regarding the prospect for this crop
and a good yield OF corn assures cbeaI
meatsras well as reasonable prices fol
: other nocosaariea.

and t. lard &c less. The indications
point TO moderate prices ruling for meats
for a considerable period in tine future,
Southern farmers have produced a larger
share than usual, during the past season,
and the supply to DO drawn from the
Northwest Is certain TO be greatly reduced.
The general outlook for a good crop Of
corn in the hog growing region Of the
Northwest has recently improved materi-
ally and heavy harvest of meat may be
confidently anticipated. The total pack
ing of hogs at all points in the Northwest

over last year for the same time of DO

THE CATTLE MARKET,

The consumption Of beef cattle IN this
market ranges from $50 to 800 per week,
or from 1900 to 1900 per annum, the
demand being heaviest during the autumn
and winter months. At the present time
the request is moderate, and good butcher
grass fed stock is worth from 3 TO 4ic per
10 gross. No corn fed cattle have offered
for some time past. During last spring
the excessive demand for grazing and
other uses caused prices 10 advance as high
as &c per lb gross for the best sgalities,an and
the range was from Az to 7c for several
months. Extensive purchases were made
by drovers in this vicinity for shipmaRt
to Texas and the West, to stock cattle
ranches, and as many as $1,000 head were
forwarded by rail or driven through this
city to the Southwest. One dealer ship
ped full 10000 head. Ten, twelve, and
even fourteen car loads per day were sent
away during the most active season, the
stock purchased being lows for breeding
and yearlings or small stock, suited for
grazing. Sheep were also shipped to 9th.
or points, but traffic in sheep, lambs and
hogs is mainly TO supply the local market,
The prospects indicate a good demand
during the autumn and winter for grazing
stock. Common grazing cattle at present
are worth ~ to 2Hc gross, and sheep 81
TO l 90 per head, while lambs are 81 90 To-
for medium, and DC per ID for choice fat
