An advance OF about 81 per ton was noted on
oats yesterday. The market is very firm, with
prospects OF q stin further advance next week.
There Is change in the condition of the
market on other produce, but prices are very
stiff all around.
c. L. II bbard received big consignment oil
furs from Alaska on the steamer City of Topeka.
There Were LOO bearskins in the lot. Mr.. Hib-
bard says he receives on average upward OF
5000 worth of furs from Alaska every month
during the whole year. This is an important
item to the commercial interests of the city, as
nearly every cent OF the money is spent here for
provisions, merchandise, etc.
The retail trade continues about the same as
usual Strawberries are about out OF the mar
ket aud there Is but little demand for the few
that are coming in. Cherries away down
lower than they have ever been before in the city
and the quality is elegant. Raspberries are
quite cheap also and the few black berries which
have been coming in are selling quite reason
able. Spring chickens are plentiful, but hens
are scarce and there are no turkeys to be had at
all. Smoked hams have advanced to IL cents in
response to jobeing prices.
