eral merchandise. In farm product, trading
was hight IN cereals. The offerings of Wheat
were less than usual on Monday but buyers
ala not exhibit any desire to operate. Their
omshness is said to be due to heavy purchases
IN the country. Eastern mail advices are con-
nfmatory of a short crop, when compared
with the yield in last week. The shortage in
three States alone aggregates 40,ooo,ooo
bushels. Barley was easy under freer offerings
oats Were fairly steady, as were Corn and Rye
Hay was offering quite freely, yet it was hard
for buyers to obtain concessions. Some of
the dealers are trying to force up square But
ter, but with choice to gilt-edged in rolls not
making an advance, dealers are naturally
turning TO them. Eggs and Cheese are about
the same as reported on last Saturday. Beans
are quiet but firm. Poultry cleaned up early
this morning. Receipts were very light, while
dealers were anxious to buy. Garden stuff
and root vegetables sold at prices current on
Saturday. Fruit suitable for Gamers moved
off quickly at firm prices, but fruit suitable
only for the trade was slow. The advance in
hog product did not extend to Hams.
