No change was reported in quotations on farm
produce yesterday. Receipts continue light
One vessel has almost finished loading wheat at
the elevator, and soon as she pulls out an
other one is ready to take her place and begin
loading. The trains are ali running regularly
again on the Northern Pacific, so that wheat re-
ceipts for the next few days viii probably be
quite heavy. Flour continues very firm,
though no further advance is expected for q
time at least. Quotations remain steady in the
grocery and provision trade. Some fruits are
becoming very scarce and the prices are advanc-
ing gradually.
Retail trade keeps up its usual activity and
prices remain quite firm on everything, with
the exception of flour, which has advanced on
account of the advance on the wholesale rates.
Cured hams are down little aud pickles in
kegs have declined materially. Rice is trihe
lower and peaches are higher and very scarce.
The trade in fresh meats is improving, as II also
the demand for poultry, but prices remain very
steady all the way around. Fish and oysters
are in fair demand.
