mo room for complaint Of volume of trade
was the more common remark yesterday the
wholesale streets and Commission row
Finances, weather and the urgent desire Of re-
tail merchants TO stock up all tended to make
the business OF the week highly satisfactory.
Steady prices were the leading feature on the
produce market. as well in fruit and vege-
tables there was an active trade. Receipts of
poultry are not as large earlier I'm the week
and prices rule practically the same. Few young
turkeys are yet on the market. those offered pc
ing small and poor. and not desirable fer pur-
chase. Young hens, as we'll as broilers, IN
active request The egg market is in strong po-
sition and higher prices probable, receipts
fall short OF the demand, even for home con-
sumption. Butter unless choice. moves slowly,
poor stock accommodating because difficult TO
dispose OF. Cheese is an active mover. Dried
fruits attracting more attention and prices
are firm in tone. An uncertainty to the
future OF canned goods still prevails in the mar
ket but higher prices are likely 10 result from
the efforts of the jobbers to boom prices. There
IS an active selling CT tropical fruits at
changed prices. Bananas in better supply
Lemons and oranges are having moderate sale
The commission houses are selling large guam
titles Of cabbage. onions and Irish potatoes
the latter carrying a strong tone. Sweet pota-
toes are plentiful and prices are weak. Whole
sale grocers having a good trade. Coffee is
firm at the recent advance. and higher prices on
roasted coffees are probable in the near future.
While there is change in refined sugars,
they carry weak tone. and lower prices are
imminent. Navy beans. for the first time in
months rule steady, and IL is thought that the
bottom quotation has been touched. Linseed oi.s
have undergone no change in prices for three
days, much to the surprise OF dealers. Hog
products are ready movers. with prices steadicr
