The trade In smoked meats Ii very firm
and the tlemand FOR city cured Keeps pace
with the supply. The stock Is being ex.

Ing to quality.
Green apples are steady, with fair trade
at our q Il ,tations. The peach trade is about
"played out" but little besides common
being brought into market Prices for
them arc about what the purchaser will
offer.
The petroleum market is Arm with pros
pect OF an advance. The low price Of cru lie.
at the wells has reacted, and the advance Is
fully 81 60 per barrel on that OF the previous

reached the top price. We have no change
to note, but the market has not that ten
dency TO higher prices heretofore noticed.
and II any change Is made 1t will be to lower
prices.
In wool there is no change to quote In
prices; the market is without lie. The New
York Commercial List, OF the 25th, says that
tie trade in wool has been considerable for
the last ten days, but at prices somewhat
below those ruling previously. Manufac-
turer have purchased more freely to supply
their nearly exhausted stocks. The Boston

week have been larger than for many weeks
previous but the market is very Irregular.
