Review of Portland Wholesale Market.

Review of Portland Wholesale Market.
FOR THE WEEK ENDING July 2
Business during the past week has been moderate
in most departments of trade yet in few instances
it has shown an improvement previous weeks.
The market for Flour is quiet and prices are not
generally sustained. In Provisions trade is dull
and weak in tone. Grain was steady and without
feature to-day, but during the week prices have
dropped lie on Corn, Oats and Meal. Sugar is firm,
active and 1sc higher at 71sc for granulated and
65sc fer Extra @. In Produce a good business is
being done; Beans are higher for Pea and Yellow
Eyes; New Potatoes firm and higher; Eggs have ad-
vanced lie " doz;reeeipts light Dairy products slow.
Only fine grades of Butter will command full
rates. Cheese is quiet and weak. There has been a
fair trade in Mackere and the old stock is said to
be we'll cleaned up, but in other kinds of fish trade
is dull with little change in quotations. Drugs g.
Dyes have been very steady with change of con-
sequence to note. Turpentine is off to 35(042c,
In Cordage we notice very strong market for Ma
nilla, in sympathy with Hemp, and prices are up
1ac. Vessels on the way with supplies are overdue
and consumers find it difficult to get enough for
present wants. Metals remain about the same, ex-
cepting Copper Bolts, which have declined 1c; now
quoted at "a. Stove Coal is selling at 90; sales
have been made at rs cash for winter lots. The
market for Leather quiet and easier. Fresh Beef
is dull but firmer for best cuts.
