There has been no material change in Flour for
some days, but we note steady demand for we'll
known brands with but little disposition to handle
| low grades. Wheat is quiet and steady for prime
choice lots, while ordinary and common are dull
and neglected. Corn is strong and firm. Rye
and Oats are active. Eggs are higher. Butter is
easy. Potatoes are hard to sell and more abun-
dsnt than usual at this season. Other produc. is
not quotably changed.
