nllAeu anu JtaJO cents Tor WHITE, some
dealers asking higher. Oats are very
scarce and in demand at about GA
cents in car load lots. Bran has been
sluggish and tones downward. Hay
is drag, the supply being in excess
of the demand and various consign-
ments have been stored for
want of buyers. Bagging has been an
object of interest to dealers in antici-
patton Of heavy fall trade, and sew
eral merchants have visited points of
supply to arrange for summer stock.
AS yet no figures as to the probable
future of prices have been made pub
lie. The promise of heavy fruit and
vegetable crop has driven the value
Of canned goods down with a run.
and dealers are anxious to work off
stocks on hand at anything they can
get. The price of nails is reduced,
and the tone is droopy. Mackerel are
nominal, in anticipation of early re-
ceipts Of this years catch. Sugar and
coffee are droopy and slow to sell.
Hides are weak and lower, while wool
is active at improved values, the new
clip finding ready buyers. The mar
ket is nearly bare of old potatoes, and
a few consignmentS would find a ready
demand at full prices. Local consign-
ments are now chiefly satisfied with
New Louisiana, which are coming
freely and at lower values. The poul-
try market is without interest, except
young chickens, which are scarce and
wanted. All classes meet ready buy
ers at good prices, unless of the small
snowbird order. Eggs opened with
the week at l4c; have since been up to
Zoe, aud are now within a cent or two
of that with a scarce supply and ready
demand. The value of butter is lower
in all markets and the supply more
plentiful.
