MARKET REVIEW.

Our markets still remain quiet, and in
measure inactive.
Large quantities of merchandise is be-
ing received by our>merchants in antici
patton of lively trade during the sea-
son, which is believed to be warrantable,
from the encouraging prospects of an
immense harvest this year.
Prices remain unchanged, and the fu-
ture outlook indicates decline in some
lines.
In the produce market, as the season
advances, supplies are increasing, and
prices are declining. Potatoes are in
creasing in quantity of daily deliveries,
and prices are lower for eating purposes,
but prime seed potatoes are firm at 65
to IS cents per sack.
The onion market is demoralized, and
dealers are selling them as.low as 81 79
100 lbs.
Eggs are quite abundant, and prices
range from 121a to Is cents; the latter
price being in trade.
Poultry is in better supply, and prices
have dropped to $4.00 per dozen.
Flour has declined 25 cents per barrel
on standard brands since last report.
The wheat market is devoid of inter-
est, although steady. Foreign markets
are weak, and cargoes are bit off in in
quiry, and eastern markets are in state
of quietness, and prices for futures have
declined in consequence.

tations in the grain market, as offerings
