WHOLESALE PRODUCE MARKET.


GeneFnlly Unchanged Prtces-Ftrm,
Healthy Feeling.
In most respects the local wholesale pro-
duce market is today in about the same
condition as that Of a week ago. In but
ter there is a slight advance in the top
grade. and it Is quite firm throughout all
others. Receipts are slightly larger. and
unless there is an advance by the 10th or
18th of next month prices are not likely to
go higher later. Cheese remains as last re-
ported. although there are some Indications
OF an advance. Eggs show no advance, be-
ing very firm and scarce. There is a steady
demand for poultry, particularly for fat
turkeys. Game has been badly affected by
the warm weather, most of it being in poor
saiable condition. There is little change
In vegetables and fruits. Owing to heavy
has yielded in favor of the buyers. In
dressed hogs the market has not yet fairly
opened.
