WASHINGTON WHOLESALE MARKET
Flour.-Yery little demand for any grade, and
market rules very quiet and inactive.
Grain.-We note increased receipts by rail and
canal, and choice samples meet with ready sale;
market closes steady. Corn and Oats in better
demand.
Eutter.-Keceipts since last week have dimin-
ished, but nearly all arrivals still continue to
show the effects of the intense heGt. The market
is steady, with more inquiry, however, for uni
form color and fine flavor, whieh will command
good prices if in order on arrival.
Eggs-The low rate to which they dropped, as
reported last week, attracted larger trade, and
the market is now in a healthier condition; we
note an advance. Pack Keat Tor Guneal Eggs
separately, and always state the number in each
package.
Pouitry-The receipts have been larger this
week, but all arrivals are readily placed within
quotations.
Vegetables.-New Potatoes scarce and wanted.
Onions are in very large supply, with few sales
even at the lowest quotations. Shippers will do
well not to send any more until the market is
cleared and a change in the same takes place.
Fruits.-Green apples are in good demand, and
meet with ready sale. The marke; has not fully
opened on dried fruit; cherries and blackberrieS
are the only kind as yet appearing. Operators
are holding OH watching the developments of
other markets, which are in the same unsettled
condition ours.
Live Stock.-Cattle were very dull, and but
few brought outside figures. Choice Lambs very
active, bringing outside figures readily, but COM
mon ones are dull. Calves are selling better this
week.
