jobbing traffic is reportedin provisions,
bresdstuffs and groceries, while feed
stuffs are dull with slow movement
in every article. The potato business
exhibits some variation, and several
hundred bbls of home grown peerless

past day or two at SOC per Dbl meas
ure. There is also some demand for
Northern potatoes, many preferring
them for local use to home growth. A
change is noted in dried peaches, for

when more plentiful arrivals caused

were ready. The meat market is very
