amounting to 1900 tons OF Wheat at the

the exception OF Fancy Creamery Butter,
which is a trihe higher. Picked Butter is
being bought largely now. Eastern Eggs are
also in demand, being cheaper.
Meats had quiet week, more SO than
usual.
No great change in Poultry. Turkeys are
cheaper. Other kinds are unchanged.
In Vegetables Okra and Egg Plant are
! lower, but otherwise there was no change
All kinds were plentiful.

Salmon. The end of the present month will
see the end of the Salmon season. The new
season for Sturgeon will begin on September
1st and q fine quality may be expected. The
