MARKETS OPENED WELL
LAST f. GIVE TENDENCY
AGAIN NOTICEABLE.
All Kinds of Produce in Great De-
mand-Higher Prices Predicted
on Wagon Market.

The week opened with strong. active mar
kets in nearly all lines. despite the fact
that last week was one of the banner weeks
for trade on the wholesale streets. owing to
the large crowds in indianapolis. The dry
goods houses were very busy filling last
weeks orders and those brought in Satur-
day by travelling statesmen and orders by
mail. Druggists were very busy yesterday.
Linseed oils advance another 2 cents and
further advances are looked for. In fact,
nearly every article handled by the whole
sale drug houses carries a firm tone. The
leather market is active and prices very
strong. The hide market is in much the
same position as for several days past.
Prices are firm, but efforts TO advance them
are not realized. The iron and harware
merchants are having a fine trade in some
lines. Prices are easier, but not so pro-
nOunced as to affect quotations. AS ex-
pected, the poultry market is easier In
tone, receipts increasing and the demand
not as active as last week The supply of
choice butter is not equal TO the demand
and prices are readily realized. There is an
active demand for fresh eggs and grocers
are paying 2 to 3 cents more than packers
for fresh stock. There seems TO be a scare
ity of eggs all over the country. On COM
mission row ii was rather quiet yesterday.
On nearly all lines of fruit, unless really
choice, prices were easier yesterday ana
the same is true of vegetables. irish pota-
toes are 5 to 10 cents lower per bushel than
last week, some very fine California, pota-
toes selling at 81 to $1.l0 per bushel. Inc
flour market, with the steady, firm tone Tor
wheat, carries a steady firm feeling, with
no change In quotations on Drands most
used.
The local grain market opened strong and
60 cents was bid for three grades OF white
corn. All grades advanced to 2 cents on
Saturdays quotations. Oats advanced 1
cent. Receipts continue unusually lght,
much to the surprise of dealers. The wagon
market caught the advancing tendency and
corn was sold as high as ~ cents per Dushei
and oats sold at IS to 80 cents per bushel.
