give prices for every day Of the week, but
by noting the general tendency Of trade,
those given will be found sufficiently close 10
enable dealers 10 base their transactions
ihereon.l
But little can h. said this week in regard
TO the general situation that has not been re-
pcated for the past month. The fine wealth
or OF the past few days has served
TO stimulate the trade in some channels
notably clothing and dry goods, but in pro-
duce and provisions the stsgnation noted Tor
the past month still prevails On the whole
values are well maintained. but there IS
deplorable absence OF the animstion IN trade
circles which has been so long predicted ana
which everything has seemed TO favor
The market is utterly without feature and,
with stocks well sold up In most lines, the
cause for the present condition seems mys-
terry.
APPLES.-Applcs are dull and the market
is easier. The supply is still short but the
extreme prices prevent much grade, hence
apples are liable to be held ut time OF the
year when the shrnksge is greatest. 1t now
takes very choice, sound Russets or Baldwins
to command the extreme price of g per
barrel at first hands.
BEAS>.-Arrivals are smaller and there
fore the position is considered stronger
There is little inquiry, however, and sales
are confined to small lots.
