During the week Bakers Hour was
marked down Wheat is firm; spot Is
higher; futures opened lower, but i'm
proved with later advices from the East;
Chicago is higher ON account of a better
export demand Barley rules the opposite
from Wheat; spot feed is easy and our
outside price is a full figure; options are
much neglected Oats have been coming
in freely, the demand has been good and
prices have been we'll sus tanned; Seed
Oats, both black and red are'higher, with
sales at even higher than our quotations.
There is too much Corn coming in for the
limited demand, and Eastern is lower; to-
days receipts We're 6,4UU CentalS or East
ern.
Bran and middlings have ruled firm,
under moderate receipts, and fair de-
the past few days there has been a
softer feeling; considerable of the Hay
coming in as alfalfa, and it is weak: The
prospects are for a good future market
for Hay at good prices.
There has been nothing very interesting
about the fruit market during the week.
There are too many Cantaloupes coming;
they are spoiled and do not SELL Nutmegs

termelons. About tWo-thirds of the ber-
ries are taken by the Gamers; the trade
wants very few. Table Grapes are dull; !;
wine varieties are firm the rain has af-
fected both wine and table Grapes. Very
ing very freely. A cargo of 450 cases Of
Mexican Lines is due. New California
Chestnuts are offering. at 12l2Q15c per 10 ;
very little movement in nuts as yet, out
