ewt cheaper. Here corn has declined
4c per bushel, oats 2 to 30 and meats
are irregular but sell cheaper
and on parity with ruling
prices elsewhere, allowing OF
course for freight insurance and
loss in weights. Flour is droopy and
stocks are ample. Receipts here the
past week include 1900 bbls -four, 375
bbls meal, $500 skis corn, 1850 SKIS oats
425 SKIS bran and 1475 bales hay. The
latter is very quiet, with no receipts
Of prairie for several weeks. The DOS
tato shipping movement the past week
has been brisk, and prices have fallen
materially, closing at 81 Is to 81 so
pei, bbi measure, against 81 to 81 10 a
week ago. The large shipments to
leading cities Of the North from va
rlous potato growing eenters south Of
the Ohio has overstoeked the markets
and driven prices down, and that too
while We have only reached the
end OF the second week in
the digging season of this
vicinity. The low prices offered
caused many farmers to quit digging
for several days of the past week, and
the movement toward the close was
rather sluggish in consequence. The
apple shipping movement is also
slack, and recsipts have SO far been
trashy and poor. Few peaches will be
forwarded from this vicinity the pres
ent season, the yield being slim and
the quality Of the few grown being in
ferior. In the cattle market the yards
are about bare of beeVes, and prices
rule firm, while milch cows are dull,
and full supply of sheep and lambs
are offering.
