NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

Corrected from the Nashville Union every
Thursday evening.
Business has not improved to-day,
trade being very quiet in all lines.
No new. feature was developed in
the grain and -four markets. Flour
was held steady with a fair trade.
Holders are, however not overly
anxious to sell, believing that it is
good stock under any circumstances
and with the chances in favor of
higher prices. Wheat was quiet, but
is held steady. Corn was in fair de-
mand with no changes in the market.
In the grocery market we have no
changes to note. Sugars remain
steady for all grades. Coffees are
quiet and easier. Salt was firm but
unchanged.
Country produce was quiet. Eggs
were dull at 8 cents. Poultry was
dull and fractionally lower for hens;
young chichens were dull in good de-
mand; turkeys are not marketable,
no demand for them and none COM
ing it. Butter was weak and tending
down. In other articles no changes
were reported.
