Milling Wheat is not Offering freely. and Is
firm, with sales at 81 90 for choice. Barley
Is firm; sales of choice at 6215c; light demand
Tor brewing. Beans weak and declining.
Light trade in Corn. Hay steady, moderate
arrivals.
The rumors in circulation about the enor-
NOUS quantities Of fruit thrown overheard
every day have been somewhat exaggerated.
II appears that some over-ripe stuff has been
dumped but as 10 sound fruit, all that the
Gamers do not take is bought by the peddlers.
The effect of such reports is TO unduly excite
people and injure the fruit business The
over-ripe fruit referred TO is such arrives
on Mondays, it having been picked the pre-
vIous Friday and Saturday, and sometimes
stands over Sunday.
The Potato and onion market contnU
weak and literally supplied. sweets are the
exception, being little scarce and higher
Tomatoes are down tritie.
