changed prices. A large quantity Of mill
Ing description down from Washington.
The glutted condition Of the Apple mar
ket continues; all dealers are literally sup
piled and the market is weak. In the opin-
ion of some the market will break before
long. A few berries are still seen, but
they are not wanted. Grapes arrived to
the extent Of nearly 1000 boxes; they move
slowly and prices are easier. A few crates
OF Tokays are offering. couple OF lots
of Wine Grapes arrived to-day. Oranges
are easier; great many are too green and
sour. Common and medium grades OF
Lemons are plentiful, but fancy are scarce
and in demand. Mandarins are lower; the
last lot from Japan are being put on the
market
Sales are occasionally made above our
top quotations for Butter, both on Cream
cry and Dairy, but the market shows an
easy feeling. Cheese is quite steady at
firm prices. Eggs are weakening; ranch
and store are lower. Store Eggs are COM
ing in more freely and the trade does not
seem to be anxious for them.
