Current Comment.

OATs.-Trade continues slow, with prices
quoted about steady on the basis Of former
quotations. Considerable supplies are yet
going for export, but are mostly lots billed
through.
BEANs.-Receipts have fallen off but 9TH
erwise the market is unchanged. There is
a full supply on hand with best marrow pea
and mediums dull at 85c. Extra yellow
eyes quiet at about S1.10.
CHEEsE.-Receipts for export, l 1880 boxes.
There has been a very light demand for the
past week and the sales made have been in
small lots and at easy prices. At the close
1t is difficult placing the finest northern
twins and small sizes at over tic.
CoRN.-The market closes higher, with
prices advanced about l to tic in sympathy
with the higher cost to ship. For steamer
yellow on track billed through, the close is
at about 354 to 354c, although most of the
recent business has been at about 81 to SAGE.
No grade is yet nominal.
FLoUR.-The demand for -four yet con-
tinues slow, although at the close the wheat
market is quoted higher, and the price for
flour Is advanced about &c. Buyers have nc
confidence in the future and will only oper-
ate from time to time as they are forced to
AVE supplies to use at once. This makes
some flour selling, but it does not take
much to meet the wants OF trade.
LUMBER,-The month of July has not
opened auspiciously for the spruce trade.
Buying Is light, the yards being conserva-
tive. They say they are not doing much
business, and as a consequence are not go
ing to lay in any considerable stock, partic-
ularly as they see nothing in the immediate
future that will put up prices. Values to-
day are very low, and naturally so with so
much spruce coming into the market.
BUTTER.-There has been a steady mod.
crate demand for fine butter for the past
week with prices well sustained on strictly
extra goods. But the weather has been ex.
tremely hot in all parts of the country, and
some Of the late arrivals are showing up
more or less affected. With such large sup
plies to select from buyers are very critical
and goods are REACTED for verv slight de-
.Sots. There is very little northern cream
cry offering on the open market. 1t would
be difficult to sell at over 16c or to buy un-
der 16Ac.
Wool. - The market Continues firm,
strong and active. The sales are less than
last week partly because Of the terrible
heat, partly because Of the holiday. The
market is, however, stronger than ever and
we are again compelled to advance quota
tons. The advance on fine secured terri
