Among the Commission Men.

Those who are interested in the wheat mar
ket have watched the gradual weakening Of
the market with degree Of cOmposure that
was regulated good deal by the side their
money lay on. 1t has been gradually de-
Ginning market, and most of the last part of
the week it was dull and spiritless good deal
of the time, OF course the quotations in st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth have followed
the fluctuations in the Eastern markets, and
the consequence has been doubt and uncer
tainty to such degree that there has been
good deal Of timidity in taking hold of it. The
mills have received very little from the start
for the reason that the farmers are all
engaged in farming operations, and cannot
spend time to move wheat to market. The
mills have therefore obtained the prin-
cipal part of their supplies from the elevator
and but very limited quantity from the
street. The receipts and shipments of wheat
for the week are as follows: Received 10,-
049 bu; shipped, 81, AS bu. No other grain was
shipped during the week. Of barley 100
blu were shipped, and Of oats S9S. The
amount of wheat receipts has been consider
ably limited Notwithstanding prices at inter-
ior points have been fairly maintained. The
trade in flour has been very good. Wheat
dull all the week. Corn has been in small
supply and weak and declining. Oats have
been in small request and weak, while the
supply has been exceedingly limited. The
demand for barley has been very light indeed.
Ground feed has been moderately easy.
Hay, especially during the last of the week,
has been in light demand with an abundant
supply. Butter has not improved and the
price was reduced early in the week. There
has been some demand for the better quail
ties, but the lesser grades are in very poor
way. Cheese has advanced. Eggs have been
in good demand with rather better prices.
