"A Change In the Aspect Of Things at the
Wholesale Market-A Week Of Great Ac.
ttvity-Turkeys and Thanksgiving I.uxu-
rfes-Gcneral Features Of the Week.
Since the approach of cooler weather the ap-
pearance OF things in and about the wholesale
houses on Louisiana avenue and 9th and 3
streets has been changed. Huge piles Of cab
bages, barrels of fall and winter apples, sweet
potatoes, sacks OF buckwheat bags of shell
barks and walnuts, dressed hogs, barrels Of eau
lifOwers. crates Of live TURKEYS and chickens,
dressed sheep and lambs in tine whole car
cass, hives of honey, wild game, new cider
In barrels, and many other things indicate
a change OF season. i;u-e plies of produce
Seem 10 Ue constantly coming and going, loaded
teams from the steamboat landings and railroad
depots are busy carting this way and that way
green grOcers' wagons and country teams with
hay. corn. oats, &C.. make din during the
business hours on these streets, which nearly
distract quiet-Ioving pedestrians The whole
sale traffic seems to be constantly on the in
crease in these streets, where it seems to be
conferred. All the available building space has
been filed up with large warehouses; and all
appear to be doing thriving business.
WEEK OF GREAT ACTIVITY.
The past week has been one of great activity.
generally, though no marked changes are noted
in prices. The flour trade is still firm: wheat is
quiet and not many sales except in small 10 ts
corn and oats are in fair demand; the hay trade
moderately brisk, with prices unchanged; fine
grades of butter are still scarce and in demand:
roll butter Is arriving slowly, and as the weather
gets cooler will increase In quantity; eggs are
rather scare and price high; poultry is more
plentiful, and the cry is for the dressed as
Thanksgiving day is approaching. Good dressed
turkeys and chickens with empty crops sell
quickly and at good prices. Game is scarce and
in good demand; fruit and vegetables are plen-
tiful; new white beans, which have been SO scarce
are more plentiful since the new crops have
come In; dried fruit. such as apples and
peaches. when we'll cured and packed, meet
with ready sale; fresh pork is also in demand.
