MARKET REPORT.


THURSDAY, June 15th.-The week of
trade just passed has revealed nothing
of interest, other than the general tone
has been of a more satisfactory charac-
ter. The volume of business has been
greater than that of former weeks of the
the season. Money seems to be easier,
and it is more noticeable in transactions
of all kinds.
The markets have undergone no ma
terial change that is of Importance.
There has been slight advance of u
cent on coffee, but other staples remain
steady on quotations.
Produce and provisions are in good
supply, with a good demand for home
consumption and export.
The egg market is noted for larger re-
ceipts, with downward tendency
Butter continues to arrive, and prices
remain unchanged from former quota
tions.
New potatoes are taking the place of
old and are on the market at 5 cents per
lb. Green peas are abundant, and
cents per lb. is paid for export.
Strawberries are exceedingly large
and fine, and shipments are increasing
to points east and west Prices range,
according to size and quality, from Z to

mand.
Gooseberries are in large receipts, on
prices ranging from Is to 20 cents per
gallon.

corresponding prices for broilers.
The market is well supplied with all
other kinds of garden produce, includ-
ing early cabbage and turnips.
The cereal market remains inactive.
While reports are more or less conflict
ing on futures, it is conceded fact that
the wheat product will fall short in the
United States and in most of the bread
producing sections of Europe and Asia.
There is a favorable outlook for fair
prices for the product of 1898.
The wool market continues dull and
depressed. The quotations in Boston
up to the 9th inst. remain nearly
steady for California and Oregon woods.

The continued tariff scare is kept up
and the claim that the silver question is
effecting transactions has been, and is
at the present time being used to the
end to bear the markets. How long the
combinations will continue will be set
tied on the reassem bling of the Septem-
ber congress. In the event that the
situation is grappled with at .once,
brighter prospects may be eforeshadowed-
