THE WEEK.

IhB Esq TRADE INJURED By TIE SALE OF DAM
AGED GOODS By PEDDLERs-orHER YBATuKEs OF
TIE WEEK.
There has been but little change In the condition
OF the city markets the past week. Some OF the
fruit and vegetable productions are getting scarce
and the prices showing frmer tendency and In
some cases an advance The hour market Is quiet
and nrm Wheat Is slow coming In consequence
OF the bad condition OF the country roads. Sales
are active for choice milling samples. Corn and
oats meet with ready sales at quotations The hay
market has been light, with limited offerings,
prices firm and quick sales for good qualities,
though no advance. A continuation of the bad
condition OF the roads may cause material ad-
vance In hay, oats, corn and feed. In butter the
market remains steady, with some Improvement
In fresh choice grades the receipts have been lib.
era and the old stocks OF inferior is being slowly
quality.
THE SALE OF DAMAGED EGGS.
The arrival OF eggs have been quite liberal the
past week, and a good stock Is on hand with
yielding prices. The foisting upon the people Of
damaged eggs by peddlers selling from wagons
has had the effect Of injuring the trade In poul-
Try prices are somewhat downward, in consequence
of the open condition Of the weather. There is
not much In market and receipts are not encour-
aged by dealers until more favorable weather sets
IN The supplies OF green fruit are limited, and
advanced prices are looked for. There is general
scarcity OF NO l apples, and those In good condi-
he Wild $. sales at go1d prices some OF
kinds Is scarce and In demand at high prices
Inc live stock market Is rather low. Fresh dressed
pork is now quite an integral item In trade in the
city markets.
