Oats are IN ample supply, all dealers
being we'll stocked and several heavy
consignments which went into store
ten days since still await buyers
Prices, however, hold their own and
exhibit little change from a week
ago here or at points North. BuI
little bran has arrived for some days
though the supply is ample for lOca.
needs and prices are steady Hay has
arrived freely from the West, some
200 bales having com in during
the past week, and values have dc,
clined $3.50 per ton on western classes
The entire line OF feed stufs has
ruled extremely dull, and dealers
have nearly all confined their atten
ton to supply the local request. A
few have been laying In rather freely,
in anticipation Of a better demand
later on, and to take advantage OF cur,
rent prices, which some consider very
low. The traffic in produce is i%ncreas
iOg in volume and home productions
having been lessened by the long
drouth. An active business at fair
prices is anticipated during the au
tumn aud winter. OF potatoes $50
bbls we're received the past week and
sales Of western on the landing we're
at $3.50 per Dbl, the feeling being firm
and confident. Store figures for single
bbls varied between 81. Goal, 70, one or
two consignmepts being retailed out at
something below the prices established
by several houses. A carload Of red
onions sold at the track for 80 per Dbl
aud northern cabbage ruled firm at
from sl5 to sl7 per 100 all the
week, the demand being in excess Of
the supply. Some 200 bbls of apples
arrived duiing the week, and prices Of
lots were somewhat cheapened In con
sequence Of free offerings. The ruling
tone is mainly firm and in favor Of
higher figures in the near future.
Dried fruit, both apples and peaches.
are to lc higher than a week ago.
Pickles and peanuts are both higher.
The latter crop has been shortened
by drouth, and a further advance il
not unlikely. Coffee is TO above last
week, and bagging is cheaper. Chick.
ems have been plentiful all the week,
though desirable offerings sold freely
at full figures, but those not in the
best condition were disposed Of with
difficulty. Eggs were firm during the
early part of the week, and sold up to
go per doz without trouble. On
Friday, however, a more plentiful
supply caused weakness, and closing
figures were 10 to Zoe. Higher prices
rule for cheese, and lower for lemons
Hides are dull, with a droopy
tendency on some OF the classes.
