by noting the general tendency OF trade
those given will be found sufficiently close 10
enable dealers TO base their trahsac''ohs
thereon.
The periodical embarrassment OF large
houses Seems TO have set in here, ana tue
failure Of two OF three concerns withlh Tue
past few days for sums involving In the
aggregate nesrly a million and nan
dollars, has had visible effect on Oil lines Oh
trade. This, coupled with the unse'ueu
condition Of monetary matters and the usual
dullncss incident TO midsummer, being
seriously felt in all quarters, aud the general
market is In cramped condition In Ne"
York the market is reported strong aud
firm.
APPLES-Apples are now In very
moderate request for the old, which are In
light supply and quotable at from ~ to g
per barrel for ordinary good marketable
lots New Norfolks are IN plentiful supply,

are rather more abundant than the require
ments OF the trade.

BUTTER.-Thr market Is weak at 8 cent
ing rapidly and the conditions OF weather
are now favorable for a large production for
some time. The future OF the market, how.
| ever, depends almost entirely upon the ideas
Of holders in the large centres. Last June
an unusually small amount was put into cold
| storage on account Of heavy losses Of the
! year previous. The consequence WIS that
| the market last June, having no cold stOr.
| age outlet, was flooded and prices were un-
usually low; but later In the season, with Il
very small amount OF held supplies 20 draw
from, prices were corrcspondingly high.
