THE CITY MARKETS.
THE EFFECT OF THE COLD WEATHER AND THE SNOW
STORM ON TRAFFIc-wHoLEsALE AND JoBBING QUo-
fATIoNs-oTHER FEATURES OF TIE WEEK

The wholesale and Jobbing trade during the
past week as rule has been dull, though at times
there has been some activity In good grades OF hay,
dressed hogs, fresh beef and other meats poultry,
good stocks Of butter. domestic green fruits and
No. potatoes The -four market Is firm with n
advance, and still inactive. The supply Is abund-
ant, demands moderate and light movements.
Wheat has advanced a little with symptoms of
activity. The same may be said Of oats and corn
Choice timothy hay meets with ready sales, and
little inquiry for clover or the mixed grades But
ter Is plentiful and the choice grades sell very
readily at fair prices, but the medium and low
grades are not wanted the stocks being full
Eggs are advancing little with signs of scarcity
In demand and good lots meet with ready sales at
quotations. Game is still scarce and in good de-
lnand at remunerative prices. All kinds OF dried
domestic fruits are scarce and sell at high figures
Tho best qualities or domestic green fruits meet
aged by frost rot, sell without regard to quota
lions. Vegetables are gradually growing higher,
particularly for best grades Of potatoes; sweet po
tatOeS are still abundant and at reasonable prices.
Cabbages and garden truck are firm and demand
steady. The merchants on Louisiana avenue and
Il street and In the Center market house express
the belief that the severe cold weather and the
late snow storm has had the effect OF injuring
trade the past week.
