LIGHT GRAIN RECEIPTS
LEAVE LOCAL MILLERS IN AN UN-
PLEASANT SITUATION.
Heavy Arrivals Of Small Fruits and
Vegetables - New California
Oranges on the Market.

A trip through the various markets yes
terday failed to develop many points OF
special interest. There was good deal of
activity on Commission row. Lemons are
moving rapidly and advance of 81 box
within the next week need not be a sur
prise, says one of the commission mer-
chants. Valencia oranges have begun to
arrive from California, but the demand
for oranges, account of the abundance
of Smaller fruits, Is rather limited. Re-
ceipts of raspberries and blackberries are
increasing, and there is an improvement
in quality. Cherries and Strawberries are
so abundant as to be rather a drug on the
market, but 20 per cent of the Strawberries
are of inferior quality. New Irish pota-
toes are moving well. but old potatoes are
meeting with slow sale. In canned goods
and dried fruits trade is quiet. There are
a few new peaches on the market, but they
are still small and are held at such prices
as to make them too much of a luxury to
be free sellers. Sugars are unsettled. Ev-
erybody is watching the situation with in
terest as to the future of this market. In
other lines of groceries steady prices are
the feature. Choice butter is firm at our
best quotations. Cheese is in fair request
at unchanged prices. Eggs are weak at
the break in the market of Tuesday. Quiet
ness continues to prevail in the poultry sit
uation. Spring chickens are coming in
more freely and of better size, with prices
practically the same. The iron and hard
ware market, much to the surprise of the
leading houses, continues active, with prices
ruling steady. Dealers who had expected
an advance are rather surprised over the
steady tone the market has carried since
the first of the year, when advances seemed
Imminent. The -four market is fat, owing
10 the unsteady tone in prices of wheat
The provision market Is active in domes-
tic way, with exports heavier than at the
CORRESPONDING period last year but bv no
means being at the maximum volume. The
American Sugar Refining Company. at New
York, yesterday advanced the prices OF all
grades OF refined sugar cents a hundred
pounds.
Dizziness hardly covered the condition OF
the local grain market. The oldest OF the
grain dealers do not remember June when
the receipts of the various cereals were a
light. The break in prices Of wheat has
practically shut off receipts. but the strange
feature of the situation is that the de-
liveries of corn are so light when the prices
are so high and the outlook for a good
corn crop this fall is steadily improving
