FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL

Portland Daily Wholesale Market.
PORTLAND, Nov. 23.
Breadstuffs and Provisions in fair demand and
irices maintained Sugar quiet and steady; granu-
ted is selling at S15c and Extra G &c. No vessels
ere in to-day with fresh Fish, but dealers are well
applied from the Boston market iobblng at Sc y
tb for Cod and Haddock. The market for fancy
creamery Butter is very firm at 33@34c. but we do
not hear of any actual sales at over 33c % h. fine
fresh made dairy meets with ready sale at quota
ns,whle low grades dull and neglected. Cheese
moves little slow and it would be hard to place
any large lots. There is good supply of Eggs on
the market, but strictly fresh are firmly held at 80
@3lc. Apples are coming in quite freely and are
selling from So 5o@S 75; really choice Baldwins
and Greetings it would be hard to place in lots for
over So 3d. Cranberries selling fairly from SI1
TO SIS for Cape Cod, choice hard berries being firm
ly held at outside figures Maine stock is about out
of the market. Potatoes are generally very dull;
occasional sales of choice lots reported but
the whole the market is easy. The market is quite
bare of choice Sweet Potatoes, but we understand
there will be lot of fancy stock here in season for
the Thanksgiving trade Pea Beans are held at
quotations; imported German mediums at BOA
2 go; yellow eyes coming in quite freely: red
kidney Beans are very scarce. the crop bring
ing SO y bbl which is higher than they have been
sold for number of years. bnt at this figure there
is only moderate inquiry. Isabella Grapes are
still coming along, but neglected by the trade,
most dealers prefer to handle Malagas. Florida
Oranges command o0@4 rs. Lemons are selling
well at previous rates, Chestnuts scarce and
higher. Hickory Nuts in fair supply but quiet On
ions are in active demand. We quote young Tur
keys at 10000 % fb, Chickens 14@15c and Fowl
12@1Sc; Ducks are not plenty and would sell well
at 10000; no game in. The receipts of all kinds
of Poultry quite LIBERAL but there is no accumu
lation of stock. The weather is mild and unfavora-
bic, buyers timid of decline and holding off,
but little cool weather would stiffen prices and
make business in this department brisk. Thanks
giving occurs the 29th inst. Stock intended for
this holiday should be shipped to arrive early
Monday or Tuesday, at the very latest Wednesday
mozhing. Take great care in selecting, dressing
iii packing Poultry, for handsome appearance of
this stock is always worth from to two cents
pound in selling; neat and clean cases for pack
ing and mark plainly the weight, gross and tare.
