An active and steady feeling is manifest.
ed In most Of the jObbing mercantile
branches, but grain, flour and produce are
rather quiet. There .aFe no very marked
movements in prices, though some changes
are noted Of Importance as indicating the
tendency Of the market. There are no
changes in grain, except n somewhat easier
feeling in sympathy with the downward
tendency Of the Chicago market. In pro.
duce we note better trade In dried APP
pies, peaches and peas. Receipts Of an.
pies, cheese, butter and eggs are very light.
Groceries are steady and quite active, and
other lines Of general merchandise are
steady and unchanged.
APPLES The supply is very limited, and
the market is firm, trade being confined to
very narrow limits. Choice to fancy fruit
rules at 81 50a2 co per barrel.
BEASs-There is scarcely any stock in
Market excepta few odd lots Of low grades.
We quote Navy at 81 75a2 90 per buShel.
BuiTRR-The market continues dull and
liIelCsS, and little news is to be had con.
cerning the trade. The old story OF stock
III excess OF the demand and depressed
prices has to be repeated without change.
