Commercial Market Briefs Reflect Steady to Dull Trends
Leather is unchanged and hides dull while flour remains firm and corn easier. Oats, cornmeal, oatmeal, rye, rye flour, millseed, and molasses hold steady with several commodities showing steadier demand such as hay, beef, mutton, veal, and pork. Eggs decline. poultry and potatoes quiet. beans, oranges, and lemons display fair to good demand and stable prices.

The boot and shoe market remains steady with buyers present but inactive overall. Prices are being cut across lines, leading traders to lose major customers who refuse to lower prices. The New England trade holds on margins, fine boot trade is fair, buff lines suffer from cheap calf prices, staple goods sell despite cuts, and rubber line activity is low though future contracts look promising.
