The tone Of meats is dull and 10
buyers favor again, though variations
in Northern markets since last report
are hardly worth noticing, still the
tendency is toward cheaper prices, and
concessions can be secured on quota-
tons below, for anything like liberal
purchase. All classes of smoked quail,
tiles Of meats are scarce and rule relaN
lively higher than dry salts or newly
cured species, and quotations here are
advanced. There is little to note in
regard to grain or breAdstufs not
heretofore reported. Flour is plenti
full aud dull, with an improved inquiry
for low grades, Cornmeal is dull aud
inclines downward. Corn rules steady
with ready sales for all arrivals of
SQUAD classes. Oats are in over sup
ply aud somewhat cheaper, while q
portion Of recent receipts have come
here in poor condition,
and therefore will not COM
mand figures equal to choice
classes. None, however, are much in
demand at present. Bran is easier
and Gales OF several oarloads ara re-
ported at SIS per ton. Hay is scarce
ard in demand and several cars Of
prairie sold within a few days past ct
IS per ton. Potatoes are more abun
dant and go of slowly, and onions are
in the same condition. Cabbage sells
freely, if sound, but q considerable
quantity is coming in either poor
order or in small sizes, hence have to
go off on their merits. Applec are
less active under the influence Of free
receipts, and some sound species have
sold at 50 rs per Dbl, though desira
bic classes range from 50 % to 50 IS
and choice bellAowers are something
above. The poultry and game trade
exhibits less strength, and chickens
are weaker, while eggs are both plen,
tiful aud lower
