Weather has been adverse to trade all the
week, 1t would be hard to conceive OF any
thing worse in lines of weather than what we
have been having for the past few days. Cold
rains have been almost incessant, and buyers
are very naturally inclined TO come out of doors
as little as possible. Grapes and apples are too
plenty for demand. and markets are weak.
Tropical fruits are quiet, with the exception OF
lemons, which are firm. There will be little
show for bananas and oranges until the grape
crop is worked OFF. Choice potatoes are tirm at
quotations. Sweet potatoes. and, In fact, vege-
tables generally, are dull and slow. Demand
is good for choice creamery butter and strictly
fresh eggs.
