COUNTRY PRoDUCE-(Jobbing Prices)-
The steady drizzling rains of Tuesday proved
adverse to trade in this line. Markets are
amply supplied with everything in fruit
and vegetable lines, with the exception of
poultry. Of the latter there is plenty
pointed in this direction, and there are no
fears of famine. In the meantime prices
are shade higher, as our quotations will
disclose. At the Monday sales at EIgin
prices of last week were maintained. Coun-
try butter continues to be drug on the
market, and prices of low grade stuff are
merely nominal. There is still a plethora
of Florida oranges, with markets in favor of
the buyer. Other tropical fruits are fairly
steady, and choice bananas are very firm.

CHRISTMAS BASIS.

Little Disposition to Trade With Long
Holiday In sight-Philadelphia Gas and

Valley Railroad In Disfavor.
Business at the Stock Exchange yesterday
was as good as could be expected, with the
Christmas holiday in sight. There was
nothing to complain of except the difficulty
of filling orders. showing that holders are
not demoralized.
There were few price changes, and none
possessed importar ce or significance. Phil
adelphia Gas flrmed up n little, but the
general tone of the fractions was weaker.
Duquesne was offered down to 171& at the
last call. Allegheny Valley Railway dropped
back to 10 cents. Common stock is i'll bad
repute. Luster advanced fraction. Switch
and Signal and Airbrake were steady.
At the first call Electric scrip brought 90.
Sales at the second call were 300 Allegheny
VALLEY Railroad at 1oc. so Philadelphia Gas
at 1874, and 40 Luster at 81. Third call, $50

fore the Christmas Vacation. Which
Lasts Until Monday-An Grains Weak
Provisions Start Well, but Sag Of.
CBICAGo-Dullness and weakness were
the leading features of the trading in all the
pits to-day. The near approach of the holi.
days and the disincIination on the part OF
operators TO do more than even up the lines
which they already had out. were RESPONSE
bic for this state of affairs. This is intensi-
fed by the fact that at the close of business
Thursday the board will adjourn until the
following Monday, and operators deem it
imprudent to have out unprotected trades
in the mea utime, either short or long.
Wheat was dull and weak almost from the
opening till the clrse Nearly all of the
news favored the bears, and the extreme
narrowness of the market tended to depres-
sion. The opening cables were I'D. lower
for Liverpool and all domestic markets
showed a downward tendency, New York
taking the lead. Longs were more discour-
aged than ever and sold freely, while the
buying was slow and cautious concessions
being necessary in order to attract buyers.
The Mark Lane Express, in its review of the
British grain trade, however, gave the bears
duction of Sd. in the price of
wheat during the past week, was due to the
inferior quality of the receipts. and that
there was shortage of 6,0oo. 600 bushels in
the supply owing to the cutting OF of Rus
sian wheat but that America was ex-
pected to make this up There were some
culation OF crop damage reports, but they
had little or no effect
May opened at $3.50, against &c at the
close yesterday: touched 963zc a moment,
sagged of without material reaction to 96c,
reacted slightly and closed steady at 96lzc.
The receipts of corn were about 200 car
loads in excess OF the estimates, and the late
improvement in the grading was continued.
This, together with the weakness which
ruled in the other pits, caused depression.
Longs were disappointed at the failure
OF the anticipated squeeze in December,
and threw their holdings over, while short
selling was also free and at times aggressive.
The weakness increased as the session pro-
gressed, under increased liquidation by
longs and the close was about at the bottom
figures of the day December shows loss
OF &c, January a1oss Of lc, and May loss
of nc.
Oats dull and without feature.
The light receipts of hogs, together with
higher pIices at the yards, lent a temporary
appearance of strength to the market for
hog products at the opening, and lard had
the additional stimulus of an advance of Sd
in Liverpool; but packers offered freely, and
the grain markets turning weak provisions
followed and slowly sagged off during the
remainder of the session, closing at about
the lowest prices of the day.

The Drygoods Market.

was about as Yesterday. Bleached goods
continue to be distributed under the stimu-
lus OF lately revised prices, though there
nearly exhausted. General demand covered
a wide variety of goods but in moderate
quantities. There was somewhat firmer
tone. Print cloths have an upward look.
