LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade of the Week Disappointing
Too Much Rain-Prices Steady.

In most lines trade of the week ending May Is
did not reach expectations. the weather condi-
tons still being unfavorable to active spring
business. When there chances to be a day or
two of good weather trade revives and becomes
fairly satisfactory Prices in most lines carry a
steady tone. No changes were made in any
staple groceries, provisions or produce of any
in portance during the week. Sugar is very firm
as are coffee and dried fruits, and canned goods
are moving more freely. The produce market is
active and the range of prices low. but about
the same as one year ago two years ago in
May. Receipts of the clip of wool on
the increase and prices rule steady at quotations
given. Seed merchants report very fair trade
at unchanged prices, with firm market. The
flour market rules quiet at prices ranging for
several weeks past. The hay market is active
and prices very firm at recently revised prices
The hide market is dull, but prices are firmer
than month ago. The leather market is active
some lines of leather are weak, but quotations
not chang ID, the weakness will not justify
a reduction unless it becomes more pronounced
The local grain market has been active all the
week The several advances in the price of corn
have increased shipments, some grades being p2c
higher than one week ago. The week closed with
track bids ruling follows:
