TRADE is VERY ACTIVE
LOCAL MERCHANTS RUSHED WITH
ORDERS IN ALL LINES.
Hide and Leather Markets Are Inn
provinG-Grains Easier, with Ar
rivals Not Up to Demand.

Trade yesterday. in the preceding days
or this week, was very satisfactory in its
volume and in several lines rather in ex-
cess of expectations. The dry good houses
report their business as being at high tide
and with steady prices ruling margins are
such as to leave a very fair profit. The
leather dealers regard their business as
very good, the prospects of a further ad-
vance in prices tending 10 increase sales,
and the hide market is taking much
stronger tone. The flour market is firmer
in tone. The demand for refined sugars
continues large and this has resulted in
raWs taking on stronger tone. Navy
beans are weak at quotations. Syrups and
molasses are moving slowly, with prices
steadier in tone. In canned goods there is
disposition on the part of jObbers TO
ease up In the matter of quotations. The
government crop report however is that
tomatoes continue scarce in all sections and
numerous complete failures are reported.
Ralsins, currants and other fruits are NOV
ing steadily. On Commission row choice
stock in the fruit line is selling at very
fair figures, but there is good deal of in
ferior stock offered, which sells slow.
Sweet potatoes are in good supply and
prices are easing of. Cabbage and onions
are selling fairly we'll, but price carry an
easy tone The poultry market is very
nrm. Consumers are taking hold and stocks
are daily well cleared out, absorbing all
arrivals. Eggs, candled stock, are in good
demand. The butter market is still in
strong position as to prices and for a
choice article better than quotations is
often paid
The local grain market presents no new
features. Prices on all cereals yesterday
were easier than on Tuesday. Track BIDS.
