The wheat market continues weak None of
.ny consequence is coming in, and local dealers
= mot making any offers. Prices on all kinds
z produce remain steady. The iobbing trades
~.sent no features of special interest
Retail trade in groceries, provisions, fruits,
s,sretables and meats remains about the same as
s.sual. There is an upward tendency In the re-
III price OF fresh meats, but most OF the butch
= instead Of making direct advance, squeeze
.t.ttls more out of the consumer by not trim
ming Of as much bone and fat as before. Gran
berries are higher, and cabbage trifie lower.
