PRODUCE MARKET.


The produce market presents good degree of
ACTIVITY and receipts are fair with the exception
Oh wheat, which cannot be handled her o at pres
ent owing to the fact that the elevator is packed
ful. Three cars of barley came in yesterday
ana about fifty tons of oats. One car of hops
was shipped out Prices continue steady on all
Kinds OF produce, but the live stock marxet is
rather weak. as is also the hide and skin market
Choice oats continue very strong and jobbing
prices are improving though no advance has
oeen noted In Wholesale prices. 1t is estimated
That over half the crop of hops has beed shipped
fricss vary slightly from day to day but no
change of any consequence has been noted.
Inc general feeling remains about the same
receipts OF poultry are very light, but quite suf
ncient to meet the very light deman1. Native
eggs and butter are scarce and prices strong.
JoBBING TRADE.
Jobbers in produce, vegetables and fruits,
provisions and groceries and butter and eggs
report trade very good generally, taking every
thing into consideration. But hardware and
other lines OF trade quiet. This is nothing
unusual for this season of the year, for this is
always considered the dullest part of the year
Tor hardware, building material and those lines
OF trade. Prices generally show up firm and
but little variation is noticeable In the fruit
line, pears and peaches are becoming dearer as
they become scareer. and but little good stock
Is now be found outside of the cold storage
BLOCK Snlcksns are OH slightly in the poultry
line, but butter and eggs are firm. Oats and
barley are tending upward in the grain and
feed line, and table corn meal 10 trihe
cheaper. Marriott's lard is little lower which
Will probably have the effect of forcing prices
OF other brands down very shortly, as sinclair's
goods are now quoted almost 2 cents higher.
