Commission row is a difficult matter. Not
in years have prices riiled as steady as
for three months past In the produce mar
ketS there has been some changes. but no
more than usual In the grocery line only
in sugars have there been any marked
changes. However. all staple groceries are
shade higher than a year ago, but the
advance has been slight and so gradual
as not TO be noticed Dry goods, except cot
tons, are firm IN tone and a fair Volume
OF business IS IN progress. On Commission
row much more business has been done
the last three months than in the fail
and winter of 1896 and 1897. and on most
articles high prices have prevailed, where
the article offered was first class More
potatoes have been handled in this market
in the last four months than ever before
in q similar period Eggs and poultry are
both firm at the recent advances RecelptS
are light. The -four market is much firmer
and an early advance is probable; in fact.
on the lower grades 10-cent advance has
already been made.
The local grain market is active. Re-

is large and all receipts are readily taken
