Wheat is about the same as last week At

prime milling wheat sold to Staunton ship
pers. AS we go to press there are some indi-
cations of improvement in prices, but not
enough to justify a change in quotations.
Glover seed is the dullest thing known to the
trade at this time The quality OF the samples
offered is particularly mean and prices exceed
ing poor.
r. G. Dun & Cos weekly review ending last
Saturday, SAYS: "The breadstuf market. af-
ter sharp depression. has recovered little,
but with sales of $780, 900 bushels, wheat
closes 271 cents lower corn %; oats have de-
clined a quarter; cotton is an eighth lower,
and while Texas estimates of yield are reduc-
ed to 1, 100000 bales, the prevalent opinion
is still that the crop will be nearly. though
not quite, as large as last year. Oil has chan
ged little, coffee has been marked up half a
cent, while pork is twenty-five cents per bar
rel lower, and lard seventeen.
