active. but the market is firm at the re-
cent advance; heavy receipts from the

been reported; that in bales has been un-

easy; bran is lower, arrivals have been
liberal and the demand has been slow.
The fruit market is in fair shape, owing
to moderate receipts. The rain dam

The situation in dried fruits is entirely
in favor of the seller. Prices are firm

all the trade can get"
The butter market has been moderate
