NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT,

Corrected from the Nashville Union every
Thursday evening.
The general trade is slowly improv-
ing; fair business was done today
in all lines.
Flour remains firm and fairly ac-
tive; the volume of the trade is
steadily increasing, the jobbing houses

tive inquiry; sales of 10 cars were re-
ported for shipment south.

feeling prevails with a fair trade;
quotations are unchanged.
Groceries-The trade was very
much improved today; country Or

the weather remain favorable.
Dried fruit unchanged.
Butter rather dull.
Poultry dull and not wanted except
at low prices, We quote hens 4c,

Green apples are in rather better
demand, but prices are still too low
to pay the producer much profit.
The very large crop in other States
and sharp competition have kept the
