GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKETS

(BY OCX COKOCS- CIAL ZDITOB.) Tuesday Evening. Tlie stagnant state of the grain and produce market is not likely to be relieved until after the holidays, and probably not until the new crop is availabfe. There is a good enquiry for both milling and fowl wheat, but nothing is to be had from the country, and any small business that is doing is out of store. There is practically no whole fowl wheat, and the requirements of poultry keepers can only bo filled with milling wheat. There is not much doing in oats, and the prices aro decidedly easier to what .they were a few weeks ago. A small amount of shipping business with the North is being done when space is obtainable, but altogether the market for grain and produce is extremely quiet. .
