THE LOCAL MARKET.

The past week has been one nj the dullest
In many seasons on account OF the contnu-
anoe Of the rain. Every brunch of business
is complaining on account Of the Stacking up
which is directly attributable to the unta-
Vorahie weather conditions Orders from tho
country are light and city trade is almost
at standstill.
Texas eggs are badly wanted. The demand
is good and all properly shipped stock readily
brings full quotations.
So far as poultry is concerned there ia
an unusually good demand for this season.
Prices are we'll maintained. shippers where
they have large quantities TO forward would
profit II they would grade their stock and not
pack too many fowls in one coop
Lemons are steadily advancing on account
OF scarcity and as consequence lines are
selling quite freely, as they are cheaper.
In staples there is little doing. Primary
markets are. however very strong, and 1t
is expected that prices will 30 higher.
| In farluaceous goods there 10 a strong up
ward tendency Manufacturers in some lines
are giving guarantees against a decline, but
It Is not very tempting. as the trust some
! tIlne back guaranteed grits which were weevil
eaten and refused to make the guarantee
good, because the bills had been paid on
sight. Nrd tho weevil were not discovered for
| torty-eight hours after the bill had been
| paid.
| The hide market ia decidedly weak on ac-
count of dizziness in the leather trade Wool
| is not very brisk and quotations are being
shaded
