LEATHER FOLLOWS HIDES
ONE CENT ADDED To THE POUND
PRICE OF LEADING GRADES.
Heavy Business Done i'm Groceries,
EspecialIy Sugar - Local Grain
Market n Little More Active.

There was considerable activity yester-
day in trade circles. The dry goods houses
for the middle Of June are doing a very
satisfactory business. The druggists are
having an excellent trade. Linseed oil has
again become unsettled and advanced 1
cent a gallon, both qualities, yesterday.
and morphine has advanced 10 cents an
ounce. The greater activity in the hide
market has reacted on the leather market
and Yesterday the prices on oak sole and
hemlock sole and harness leather were ad-
vanced l cent a pound. The local seed
market is quiet. 1t will be noticed that
there was a sharp reduction in prices in
nearly every line OF seeds. The grocery
market is howing remarkable activity.
The schedule of prices is unchanged ana
differs but very little from those which
have prevailed for some time past. Sugar
is moving rapidly, with the demand IN
creasing every day on account OF the
growing consumption of fresh fruit. Beans
are very firm at advanced prices. Canned
goods are moving slowly. DRIED fruits are
meeting with better sale. The spring trade
in dried and canned fruit was an eXcelieht
one, fully up to the hopes of those handing
them, consequently stocks held are light
The poultry market carries an easier tone
on more liberal arrivals a more active
demand for chicken is manifesting ltseli.
There is a very active market in butter,
eggs and cheese, and prices rule firm ana
steady, with the market in strong shape
Stocks of cheese held are said TO be light.
The provision market is quite active, with
prices steady and firm at the revision OF
Monday. On Commission row a lew
oranges are offered. Lemons are quite
active, with prices firm. The same is true
of bananas. Havana pineapples are ABOUT
off the market and Floridas are meeting
with slower sale, ms yea1 te crop The
sales of the last three weeks. however,
were the largest in the history or Com
t n1Sitor is gathered Shipments are sent
in here from the north. but prices are SO
low that commission merchants say there
will be little done in this direction TINS sea
son. Irish potatoes, both new and old,
are weaker. and sharp reductions are
looked for within the next few days.
The local grain market is without special
feature. The receipts have increased some
what the last day or two, especially Oh
corn. All cereals are promptly taken at
prices quoted on the track The hay mar
ket is still dull and prices weaker In tone.
