1t will be seen from these figures that the visi-
bic supply of wheat has decreased 81 1884 bnsh-
els, but it would be erroneous to conclude that
there is little wheat left in this vicinity. The
figures only show what has been stated over and
over again in these columns that the millers arc
not buying wheat. The fact is they cannot buy
wheat till they have unloaded some of their enor
nous stock Of the manufactured article. There
is large surplus of wheat still in the hands of
farmers and dealers which they would gladly
get rid of il they could command anything
like good prices. When a
dealer announces the sale of 1900 bushels to
milers on p. t. it just simply means on terms
below the nominal quotations, in fact the letters
may be taken to signify poor terms" There
has been slight improvement in corn, the de-
mand though not at all urgent has been better,
and the supply slightly more liberal. Oats have
been in better supply; $1,000 bushels were
shipped in, all of which found their way to the
cons umer, with SCI bushels more taken from
the elevators. J, Prices OF oats
have ranged lower. There has been
no demand for barley and the receipts have been
very small No. 2 sold on change at SIC. There
is nothing new to report respecting -four. The
home and northwestern trade continues about
steady and there is no Improvement either in the
eaSleFn OF iOTcISH irdQe-t inc IudTket III EQSianu
is reported as depressed. Railroad reports
show less shipped the past
week than during the previous week
and two cars less than the week
before that. The supply of feed has
been much larger, being ~ against for the
previous week but prices have remained about
steady. Hay has been very scarce and consider
ably enquired after; the total receipts were but
two cars. Street supplies by farmers wagons
have been fairly liberal, but bailed hay il shipped
in now will command from 50 10 $40 per ton for
wild: from s1l to S12 for cultivated The butter
market has been very duh but with Just
descernable improvement in the better grades
There has been but one large shipment east
during the week. Provisions, including hams,
bacon and mess pork have been very steady aud
quiet here, considering the state OF the Chicago
market. Cheese is slightly more active, with
prices unchanged. Dressed meats are easier.
Hides, tallow aud wool are quiet, but dull
Linseed oil and all flax seed products are
lower. There is a good demand for live poultry
with a good supply of spring chicken. The
fruit market has been fairly active during the
week Oranges are out OF the market; lemons
are shade cheaper California and Oregon
fruits are in good supply and cheaper. There
are still liberal supplies of backberfes of excel
ceiient quality; whortleberries are now coming
in; raspberries are nearly out and currents get
ting scarce. Bananas are in good supply and
little cheaper. Apples are coming in more free
ly and are considerably cheaper Vegetables are
in good supply and prices easier.
