To make the following luotAiiohs "
Vaiue 10 buyer and seller alike. il VIII be
necessary TO carefully note the predatory re
marks which prccedr all articles quoted. In
a market Of this character Il Is Impossible 10
give prices for every day Of the week but
by noting the general tendency OF traue'
those given will he found sufficiently close 70
enable dealers to base their TRANSACTIONS
thereon.
What we stated last week as the condition
of the market holds good now. Everything
Is moving OF slowly, and the conservative
feeling among dealers in all lines is likely 10
continue for week or so longer.
APPLEs.-Trsde is very light and prices
hard to quote, rs the market Is only lightly
supplied and sales take place only In small
way on the merits OF each individual barrel
Very fancy fruit will bring almost fabulous
prices but perhaps a. is as high as Il would
be safe to quote for an outside price. while
there is number fruit sold down as low IS
81 20.

BUTTER.-The market is much lower
and badly demoralized so far as to getting
at quotations is concerned, for there seems
to be almost no established price; but il Is
largely matter Of individual negotiations
between buyer and seller with the credit OF
the buyer a feature in the case Then,
again. many OF the sales just now arc very
small merely to supply immediate con-
sumption as no one cares to purchase heav.
