PORTLAND MARKET.
A Resume Of the Condition OF Its DIFF
feFent Departments.

Trade has been unusually brisk. In
the line Of fruits large receipts and
equally large shipments were the rule.
In the produce market receipts were
only fairly liberal. The grocers did
heavy trade, and jobbers in other lines
report business good. The market is
well supplied with every variety Of sum
mer fruit, and the quantity OF tropical
fruit on hand is large enough to supply
the demand. Melons are plentiful and
cheap. The quality is good, and the de-
mand is consequently heavy. A large
stock Of plums is being carried, and the
fruit is a drug on the market. Peaches
are not so plentiful as they have been,
Blackberries are in good supply, and the
demand is strong. Vegetables are III
sufficient quantity to satisfy the demand.
Sweet potatoes are becoming more plen-
tiful. Receipts of eggs do not increase.
Poultry receipts are fair, and the same
may be said of butter. There is but lit
tie doing in oats. The staple grocery
trade is generally steady. Coffee is firm.
Rice is tirmer, and an advance is looked
for.
