General Trade.
Moderate animation animation pre-
walls in business circles, though some
leading articles are going of slowly.
Flour for example is difficult to dis
pose of in round lots, while cornmeal
is easier and inclines downward. No
round lots of corn are on the market
and several car loads would find free
buyers, but the demand is rather
limited. Oats have been coming in
rather large shipments for this market
and the light character Of Southern
grown makes them slow to dispose Of
while prices range all the way from
81 to 42c as per' lightness OF
quality. All classes Of hay, Southern
prairie included, rules fat, except
strictly choice Western timothy, and
this class arrives in very scant way
hence finds ready buyers whenever
offered. The potato market is dull
and shippers indifferent, while numer-
GUS growers hereabouts have large
quantities yet in their fields and are
much discouraged over their ill luck
The shipping demand for apples and
tomatoes continues COED. An oveI
supply of chickens continue to offeu
and values rule heavy, while eggs are
steady with the supply about equal
to the demand.
