FIGHTING FOR CONCESSIONS.
Cincinnati Dealers Report n More Active
Inquiry in Some Lines.

Cincinnati Dealers Report n More Active
Inquiry in Some Lines.
CINCINNATI, June 3-[Speciall - Rogers,
Brown & Co. say: There is no change in the
situation to report except perhaps, more
active inquiry from the agricultural imple-
ment makers. Some quite large transactions
have been closed in this line, but the main
buying is vet to come. The general run OF
business is confined to small orders to sup
ply immediate wants. Prices remain firm
on both Southern and Northern brands.
Buyers fight hard for concessions, but tIe
cases are exceptional where they get
them. The-amount of iron offered is not as
large as it was a few weeks ago. There Is
pressure to sell in some quarters. but 1t Is
usually outside an lot from some obscure fur
mace. The standard brands are for the most
part well sold, and are not offering further
price. In Lake Superior charcoal
iron there is more irresularity. some
holders who have had heavy stocks
accumulated are selling . reeE
lished and malleable and car wheel BRANDS
are offered at. Buyers have taken a fair
portion of the former. and failing to get the
latter at equal figures, are standing on IN
their purchases At the same time there is
quite q large business being done in this
specially Some car contracts have recently
been let and have created corresponding de-
mand for wheel irons
The general situation is rendered little
mixed by the continued rains and COM
plants that are heard of damage to crops.
lands and buildings. Should the weather he
favorable from this time forward, however,
the trouble will be largely remedied. There
is no change in the money situation, which
continues easy beyond precedent, with low
rates of interest and accumulated funds at
money centers. This condition of things
creates q demand for industrial securities
and rendered easy the financiering of large
reorganization schemes of well-known
nlauts marked illustration is the readi-
ness with which the 81 100000 securities of
the Barney & Smith Car Company was taken
up by the public. Other similar reorganiza-
tion schemes are talked of.

COUNTRY PRoDUCE-Jobbing Prices
Dairy products are in supply far beyond
demand, and markets favor the buyer.
Country butter has only a nominal value.
The best on the market is slow at 15c per
pound. Elgin creamery is quiet at the de-
cline already noted. Poultry has been so
high of late that there is little demand.
The average consumer is unwilling to pay
the price, and, while receipts are light,
there is enough to meet demand. Straw
berries are in good supply, and quality of
offerings is better than any time this season.
Old potatoes are about at their end for this
season, and choice stock is difficult to be
had. New potatoes are coming in freely,
and prices are drifting to lower level.
Choice tropical fruits are very firm at prices
