Merchants report that farmers are hauling
grain, and when this obtains they are liberal
buyers in all lines of trade. The steamers
that sailed to-day took out increased quanti-
ties OF merchandise, fruit and seasonable
vegetables. This morning the wharves were
cleaned up by 8 o'clock. Choice good-keep-
ing fruit, garden stuff and potatoes went off
quickly under good shipping demand, but
poor keepers being confined to the local and
near by trade, had to be placed at low prices.
Dealers in poultry were caught mapping"
They have been carrying light stocks, owing
to the large exodus to the summer resorts.
This week the return tide set in, and with the
wanderers coming back, there was large de-
mand for poultry, and, as receipts were light,
prices made a sharp advance-more rap
idly than ever before. Butter was weaker
| to-day. Eastern consignments of Eggs, which
were exposed to hot weather en- route and
which have been held here two or more days,
were sold as low as 1870 by the carload. The
! Eggs were sold 'as is" 1t is claimed that
very few are suitable for trade purposes, only
being fit for those bakers and Chinese who are
not overly particularly what they get as long
as 1t is cheap-ammonia is used to kill any
odor that might be present.
In cereals the market to-day was firm for
| Wheat and Barley, steady for oats and weak
and lower for Corn. Heavy offerings of the
! latter are a disturbing factor.
| The mining share market was fairly active
| with strong opening in the morning IN
! der freer selling ana fewer buying orders
! prices shaded off. The market is being strongly
manipulated. The news from the Comstock
mines is uniformly favorable, but assessments
| frighten buyers.
