old, stale story. Ground feed has held its own
singularly well. The amount of business has
been about uniform for the past month and
prices have been steady. The business in hay
for the past week was identical with the
week before to q car; prices have fuctuated
somewhat but are now about steady at $3.50 for
Wild ana $3.50 for timothy. There have been no
large sales OF butter during the past week. but
prices are little frmer for prime grades Of
creamery owing to lighter receipts There has
been considerable let up on the part of the hog
autocrats and pork is easier, having fallen from
S2I.OO to $40 90 since last week; hams are still

are firm and the market steady. Dressed meats
are quiet Linseed oils again down ic and

good demand for live poultry and receipts are
quite light; there is scarcely anything coming to
market except spring chickens, and an occa-

Fruits are very active and the
receipts increasing. Last week about T.
cars day were disposed Of. Quite variety of
grapes and plums are coming in, and among the
former some of the choicest kinds. A most de-
lcious puma novelty here's the Oregon
prune. Iii small fruit, but of exquisite fla

are about out of market, but Oregon Bartletts
are in good supply; blueberries are about fin
ished; watermelons are unusually fine and plen-
tiful; peaches are improving daily; bananas are
becoming very scarce. Minnesota crabs are in
good supply and of good quality. All fruits are
a little easier. except bananas.
