PRICES STILL ADVANCING
PRACTICALLY THE WHOLE LOCAL
LIST IN STRONG POSITION.
Brief setback to Trade on Account
of the Heat-Grnin Market Con-
tinEes to Show Higher Values.

A return of hot weather checked trade
somewhat yesterday, unless IL be in the
way of orders that were taken in the early
part of the week and sent in. The falling
off is not very marked. and the impression
prevails that trade will increase rather than
diminish on account of the tendency 10
higher prices. Especially will this remark
apply to canned goods, such as tomatoes,
peas and corn. More interest is shown In
dried fruits. Sugar prices are unchanged,
with the refined still in active demand
Coffees, as well, are unchanged. There
seems to be less activity in the market,
and the list of prices is unaltered for roast
ed grain. Navy beans and dried fruits are
advancing in tendency. Receipts or fruits
and vegetables on Commission row are
moderate. Bartlett pears of excellent quail
ity are offered, and are selling at reason
able prices. Watermelons and canteloupes
are selling unusually well, with prices
steady. Irish potatoes are still maintain
ing a strong position, and sweet potatoes
are attracting more attention and are not
much higher in price than Irish potatoes.
Green garden stuff is holding firmly to
quotations. Huckelberries and blackberries
are practically off the market. Lemons
are in little better demand. with prices I'M
changed. California prunes, plums and
| peaches are in good request and prices rule
steady. Butter, eggs and cheese are hrm
at quotations., with receipts moderate.
Poultry shows considerable activity. and
each night shows the market pretty thor
oughly cleaned out. So far as prices are
concerned, the market rules steady at quo
tations. Flour is increasing in strength as
| the price of wheat advances. Buyers are
not particularly anxious and sellers are
firm, hrxrorS only making purchases. for
immediate requirements. PROVISIONS con-
tinue active and prices carry a strong tone.
The dry goods houses report trade up to
expectations for the early half of August,
and look for further Improvement as the
month advances. The druggists report trade
as having improved the last few days, Will
prices practically the same.
The local grain market causes surprise
that receipts are SO limited when the range
| wheat on the track sold at 7lnc a bushel
and wagon wheat at nc, the market clos
ing with an advancing tendency. Corn is
practically the same. Prices now range so
high that any sharp advance need hardly
be looked for. Oats. as well. are very
firm. All receipts are readily taken on ar
rival at the prices quoted. as furnished by
the secretary of the Board OF Trade:
