COMMERCIAL.
The Wheat Market Developing a
Good, Strong Tone.
Shippers Buying Freely, Though the
Shortage of Available Tonnage
Keeps Values Back.

The inclemency of the weather interfered
materially with trade in Produce lines yester-
| day, and at the close OF the days business the
hold-over supplies We're extensive. The re-
ce1pts of the day were quite liberal, but fairly
| well distributed.
The local Wheat market is developing a
good strong tone, and prices are a little
higher, Shippers are buying more freely, and
If there were available tonnage in port values
would doubtless be still further advanced. At
present there are but five disengaged ships IN
port suitable for the grain carrying trade, and
| only two of these are iron. Other Cereals re-
main weak.
| The,demand for Oranges is moderate, and
as stocks on hand are heavy, dealers are shad-
Ing their asking figures in order to effect sales.
strictly fancy Navels are held quite steady,
! but all other grades are very easy. Straw
berries are plentiful, and the inquiry is
suning large proportions, Prices are quite
reasonable, and the indications are for g. fur
ther decline. But few Gooseberries are in the
| market, but the demand Is very small and
! the price has met with sharp decline. The
/ Cherries which came to hand yesterday were
not very attractive, ana sales were Siow
! Vegetables are abundant, and prices rule
low and easy. The demand for New Potatoes
| shows some Improvement
Dried Fruits are moving off slowly and
generally in small lots. Strictly choice varie-
ties are held fairly steady.
| Ddlry GrOuuCLS are abundant ana low
priced. Creamery Butter is accommodating,
and the same may be said of Cheese. Eggs
| are in good supply, and easy at quotations.
| Pouitry hnds ready sale, particularly young
| stock.
