COMMERCIAL.
THE FLOUR MARKET FIRM AND
FAIRLY ACTIVE.
Decline in Wheat Prices-Bar1ey
Inactive at the Old Prices
for Feed.

some time; market is firm and fairly ac-
tive. Wheat declined to-day both in the
Eastern and local markets; export move
ment is active; milling descriptions are
quiet, though prices rule firm. Barley IS
inactive at the old prices for feed; some
movement in brewing: most of the Barley
offering is dark a bright article would
bring more than quotations. Oats have
been very quiet and weak for all except
Black and Red for seed; receipts have been
in excess of the demand. Corn offerings
are small and the demand is slow; present
prices have stood for some days past. The
inquiry for Rye is poor at present, though
prices are firm.
Berries are going out of favor; very few
RaSpberries coming in now. The market
IS Well stocked with Apples, mostly of me-
dium grade; a few fancy bring more than
the outside quotation. Cantaloupes are
not wanted, and are lower; also NutmegS.
Peaches are weak Good Pears sell Well
Plums and Prunes will soon be out. Mexi-
can Lines are abundant; the market is
weak and tending downward.
Excepting for best Humboldt the Butter
market is weak; present prices have ruled
for some days, with occasionally higher
for special brands. Cheese has been firmly
held at quoted prices. The market on Eggs
has ruled weak: nothing selling except
good ranch: too many Eastern here.
