tain SO as TO promote deal in sugar stock;
others claim that it is due to the cholera
scare, which will probably stop the exports OF
German beet sugar to this country. Eastern
adyices report a stronger tone IN Coffee. There
are in port three vessels loading with general
merchandise for European ports, three lot
New York, and several for Central and South
American ports. In farm product the market
was inactive in both Wheat and Barley. The
lower prices at which buyers bid appear 10
have caused all offers, except consignments
which have to be moved, TO be Withdrawn.
Barley holds to the lower prices quoted on
yesterday. Choice grades of bright are scarce,
but there is an oversupply OF dark and poor
grades Oats were easier. Several wharf con-
signments were sold at a shade lower prices,
so as TO save expenses. Ground feed was IN
good demand. Hay while quoted weak, APP
pears to be working into better position for
holders, Heavy receipts of Butter from up
north, with more due, have checked the ad-
vance. Dealers report more doing in pickle.
Choice fresh-laid Eggs were firmer, and in
some cases an advance was paid on outside
quotations In garden truck no changes were
reported Potatoes and Onions were un-
changed. Dried fruits were reported strong.
Fresh fruit is coming in more sparingly, and
the market cleans up well. Pears, Plums and
Prunes were strong, but Peaches were slightly
easier. Golden Drop Plums are selling to cam
