The dry goods men are not complain
ing, their volume Of trade this month
The hardv are men and iron merchants say trade
Is good. Leather dealers report it quiet There
Is more activity IN the hide market Inc grocery
trade is devoid of anything new, with the ex-
ception OF an easier sugar market. Conee con-
tinues dull at the seaboard; here there Is a
steady demand for roasted. In the prOduce mar
kets there is considerable activity. Receipts of
eggs are in excess of the demand, and there Is
some trouble in getting rid of even fresh stock
Choice butter Will sell quite readily, but poor
stuff is unsuitable at anything above soap-grease
prices. For all kinds of green stuff we can re-
port regular and increasing demand. Berries
were picked up early IN the day at full prices,
that is for fresh stock. Apples are in liberal
supply and prices are easy. The receipts OF po-
tatoes, 1t is said, will fall off in view OF the TACT
that current prices scarcely cover lay-doWn
cost. The wool market continues IN
much the same ruJ of some weeks past,
allhougs reports from Eastern markets. are
says: New wool continues to arrive quite
freely from all points, and holders are free
sellers at comparatively low prices. The sales
grades and qualities. Prices have been quite
steady, and we do not look for any change az
present. There is q good assortment for mann
faeturers to select from, but there is no great
pressure to buy even at present prices, and the
prospects OF the trade are no more encouraging
now than for some weeks past, either in wool or
wOOlens, The sales have been the largest re
have had to notice for a long time, but at the
same time there Is plenty OF wool offering, and
freely next week and on the same terms. In the
interior there is very little change. The clip of
Michigan wool has mostly passed from farmers
hands, but there Is still more or lees in the hands
OF local dealers. In Ohio the movement con-
unues quite moderate, and prices are sustained
al figures which buyers generally are unwilling
at 81 To 30 cents, and in all the best sections OF
Ohio 35 cents and upward is now asked. In
Texas and at other points the market is compare
lively quiet. In San Francisco there is fair
business doing, and the best Northern woods are
rapidly disappearing, while low and defective
woods are neglected, the stock OF wool IN San
Francisco, however. is still some 10000. 600
pounds, but the stock of California wool in this
market is smaller than for some years at this
season. The advIces from abroad report no ma
terIal change since the recent auction sales"
