such as dry goods aud boots and shoes a big
trade is looked for next month. The produce
market is active. Eggs are reported hrmer III
all markets. While some dealers quote an ad-
vance others continue to sell at prices ruling for
some time past Butter continues rather slow,
and some dealers are disposed to cut even on
the best brands of creamery in order to make
sales. Cheese also reported slow, but prices Tor
prime stock are still maintained. The arrivals
of apples have been quite liberal within the past
/ Jew days and prices have gone off fully 50c per
| barrel. The market has been overstoeked with
onions all week, and the holders are taking just
whatever they can get Foreign fruits dulI
owing to the abundance of domestic, and lemons
and bananas are lower. Tallow hrmer but nn-
changed. GrOeers speak of business as improv-
ing. The hrmness thar has characterized the
sugar market for a couple of days past con-
tlnues, and unless there Is reaction at the re-
fineries merchants look for an advance here
within the next day or two. In referring TO
coffee New York exchange says: Offerings are
careful and il the bears desire to sell they GER
tainly are not prepared TO move at the moment;
while, on the other hand, the spirit of the bulls
appears TO have toned down materially, and bid
ding is indifferent. Some Of the indications,
however, while not of a positive character, lead
to the impression that a few holders haze quite
as much Of a load as they care to carry, and
would be pleased to find chance to relieve
themselves of portion of the weight. In hog
products the movement is slow, doubtless the
result of an apprehension of lower prices. Hogs
continue much higher relatively than the pro-
ducts, and the feeling obtains to consider
able extent that the latter have about reached
hard pan,
The local grain market braced up somewhat
to-day. However, bidding on Change lacked
spirit and there is not the confidence shown
that makes transactions active. Tie Board of
Trade Price Current says OF wheat: The local
markets are in better position than yesterday,
with fairly active demand for cash and near
futures. $1.O6ss f. o. b. was bid for No red,
being 1ase higher. Receipts have fallen off.
