LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET
BY THE SLIGHT RECESSION
In TEMPERATURE.
Berries Are About Due ia Disappear
from Market-Grain Conditions
Show Decided Improvements.

A slight easing up In the heated term re-
suited in a small Improvement to trade yes
terday. There are certain lines OF business
In which. despite weather conditions, there
will be some activity in trade. This is
the case with the commission merchants
and the wholesale grocers. In prices yes
terday there were but slight changes. The
potato market carried an easier tone on
account OF increasing receipts, but COM
mission merchants are making a game night
TO support the shaky market and hold
prices up to profitable figures. The smaller
fruits seem to have about had their day,
blackberries, raspberries and currants be-
ing in light supply and commanding high
figures. One OF the largest producers or
blackrerries In Marion county says that not
only his berries, but his vines, are drying
up. and that his losses up to the present
time will be fully 1000 crates as compared
with his production had rain come In due
season. Cantaloupes are gradually coming
down in price and peaches are weaker.
Tomatoes are in strong condition and In &C
tive demand. All home products are stiff
in price and shipments from outside are
light. Lemons are doing better than last
week, being toned up by the hot-weather
demands. and commission merchants were
yesterday talking about still higher prices.
Bananas are In better supply, but not album
liant. The flour market is stronger. in SYM
pathy with better prices for wheat. Oat
meal, rolled oats and the like are nrm In
price. Navy beans are strong, at the Nigh
est quotations. Sugars remain firm as
quoted quot G01es Is u tsay re- 81 put te easier IN
lines of groceries. Dealers in butter are
getting barely sufficient supplies to take
care Of trade. which is not diminished
by the advance In price since the heated
term set In. Cheese is steady. with a light
surplus. Eggs are firm at prices and in &C
tive 0nr1a ~ fresh afnnE Nh 1nNal nnlI1
try market is devoid Of interesting fea-
lures. Receipts are moderate and de.
mand rather quiet. The quiet condition OF
trade is unusual, but is produced by the
prevailing high value for young desirable
chickens. prices being beyond the reach OF
a majority Of consumers. The provision
ume of trade being somewhat in excess of
the corresponding period last year. Fresh
meats are selling at such high figures hat
1t has increased the demand for smoked
meats. The hide market carries a weaker
tone. Leather is steady and firm at quo
tat,ons.
The local grain market moves along much
In the rut OF ten days past. Local receipts
of wheat are ranging from thirty to fifty
five to thirty-hye per lay as shown by the
inspectors report. The Touring mills are
running to their fullest capacity day and
night. hoping this year TO make up some
OF the shortage in profits from running
mills the last two years. All cereals are
