In closing the report for the week for the
wholesale Flour markets, we can only report
3 quiet but steady one. Nothing has oc.
| curred during the week to change quotations.
| The trade is drawing its supply in limited
quantities at current prices The receipts of
Wheat continue extremely light. This seems
to be the case in all the winter Wheat bets.
The mil!ers can scacely get enough to keep at
| work The market has gained / to cents
! during week Very little new Corn has been
offered. Its condit:on..is being reported as fiss
class for so early in The season. This is at
fributed to the very dry season. During the
| coming week river lots are expected on the
week to 14a cents Oats continue in quiet.
| but steady demaud-receipts entirely from
the West. Our Virginia farmers prefer. at
| the low prices now prevailing, TO feed them
to their stock at home. Rye is very quiet, no
demand for it. even for distillery purposes
hich generally starts about this season of
the year. Prime Hay is in constant demand.
This grade constitutes small proportion of
the receipts Country Produce Is in light re-
ceipt. Butter and Eggs command good prices.
