LARGER RECEIPTS OF POTATOES
INDICATE LOWER PRICES.
Tomatoes i'm Strong Position, with
t~ention-The Grain Markets.

There is little new TO note in the local
situation. On Commission row there is a
fair business in produce, weather conditions
considered. Indications yesterday pointed
toward a possible break in the potato mar
ket, as receipts were increasing and this
had an unsettling effect. Apples are a little
higher, as the quality is improving. Peaches
are increasing in arrival and improving In
quality. Most of them, however, are
shipped quite a distance. Garden stuff con-
tinues TO rule at high figures, with the mar
ket strong in all departments. Lemons are
in active request, and prices are very
strong. Oranges are scarce and
a high price. Dried fruits are neglected
just now. There is always some call for
the various descriptions, but the dull sea-
son now on has reduced the demand 10 a
minimum. The canned goods market Is
attracting a good deal of attention. Toma-
toes are III strong position, with indications
of higher prices. There are those in the
business who are looking for much higher
values. New packs Of some kinds are ready
for shipment and sales of futures are quite
liberal. The wholesale grocery market is
active. Refined sugars are still in strong
demand. Large receipts of Rio and Santos
coffees has weakened the coffee market.
Navy beans are slightly advanced, and syr-
ups have gone forward l cent. Butter is
very firm at quotations., with receipts Of
really choice stock light. The market is
very firm at the 1c advance of Tuesday
The market IL very firm Oh cheese. EgSs
are unchanged and in good request. Re
ceipts of poultry are not large and prices
are steadily held. Dealers would like 10
see receipts Increased, so that quotations
would drop and thereby stimulate trade.
The provision market is active, smoked
meats being in large demand. With the
dry goods houses, the druggists, the leather
dealers and the iron and hardware mer-
chants trade is rather quiet at unchanged
prices.
