LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
A Week of Disappointing Trade, Ow-
ing to Bad Weather.

Trade in the week ended on jan IL. was dis
appointing in volume, the warm rainy weather
being the deterrent cause. Country roads have
become deep with mud and the towns off the rail-
ways are doing but little business, and until
there is a good freeze. present conditions In the
country are likely TO continue. The need of good
time. as there are large quantities. of grain. luni-
Der. live stock. etc. to be shipped and present
conditions make it very difficult to reach way
stations with freight or even with live stock.
In prices, there were but few changes durins
the week. Eggs went off three cents and there
was a break in the provision market. Linseel
oil dropped 2 cents a gallon. The hide market is
weak. On Commission row prices on choice
ferior stock selling low. Choice oranges are now
on the market. Flour is frmer a. are seeds. for
which there begins TO be some sale. Other lines
are without new features. s
The local grain market dra eyed all the week.
Receipts were light and prices advanced on both
wheat and corn. The market closed strong at

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS. Jan.
12-Catt;e-Receipts. 100; shipments none. There
was the usual small Saturday supply OF cattle,
and, as usual at this time in the week, the mar
ket was quiet. but sales for the most part were
at steady prices compared with yesterday. Most
OF the offerings were odd punches Of female
butcher cattle, and a few loads OF steers met
with a very slow inquiry. and not many sales
were reported. The receipts this week show an
increase OF 400 over last week, and 7Jj over the
same week a year ago. The market opened with
indications not particularly discorraging, but a
good many dealers were expecting a more liberal
marketing. and consequently the reduction of lOc
in prices early in the week was not altogether
unexpected. The receipts continue Of rather large
volume, and there was an uneven and .Iisappoint-
ing trade al; week. After the frs. dec"ne, how
ever, there was no further quotabia change.
There was an absence OF strictly choice cattle of
all kinds. and this. of course. mad a tendency to
restrict the bidding. During the week steers
sold as high as s545. heifers si.35 aid COWS,

Sheep-Receipts. 400; shipments, $50 Inc re-
ceipts of sheep and lambs were larger than the
average at this time In the week and the quality
generally was quite satisfactory. in fact. better
than for some time past. The bulk of the ar
rivals were a lot of 500 sheep and yearlings Of
prime quality that sold at a.25. Other sales
inferior to good sheep at 225as.so. and lambs
around s.. The receipts this week were a little
smaller than last week and over 1000 larger
than the same week a year ago. There has been
a good demand from all buyers I 1roughout the
week. and an advance of at least 25c in prices
the beginning of the week was maintained to
the close. The receipts the latter part Of the
week were too small to invite competition be-
tween all buyers. which made the market less
active, but a good clearance was made. and nc
doubt a larger supply could have been sold at
current prices. During the week lambs sold as
high as $50. fancy sheep. S420. and the top
price for old sheep was practically 81. Quota
