Among the Commission Men.

All things considered the commission men
had quite good week of trading. Thanks
giving day and the days preceding it had
some tendency to curtail business, but on the
whole there is very little ground for CON-
plant. The weather has been very mild and
poultry accordingly suffered. The market
was heavily overstocked for several days be-
fore Thanksgiving day and then still more
came down from interior points, so that it
became necessary to dispose of the stock at
such prices rs could be obtained. 1t was &C
cordingly sold for 2@3c per pound, and if
any one had asked it dealers would have
given it away for the sake Of getting rid of it.
Wheat started a week ago at $50 and by the
middle of the week it had declined to s6c and
at last came down to S5c. Corn has been
steady at 40c all the week till yesterday,
when it dropped to $50. Oats have run all
through the week steadily at 2T1a@2S1a. The
market throughout has been very steady and
regular. and prices have been pretty well
maintained. Trade in apples continues good
and the demand does not appear to abate In
the least. Pork is strong and firm at $40.
