Big TRADE in PROGRESS
COMMISSION ROW Is HAVING A MOST
SUCCESSFUL SEASON.
Good Demand for High-Grade Butter,
Eggs and POultry-Unusually High
Price Paid for Corn.

Another good days business was trans
acted on the wholesale streets yesterday,
Commission row as we'll sharing in the i'm
provement. cool weather evidently stimulat-
ing trade. On Commission row immense
quantities of fruits and vegetables are be-
ing handled daily, but it is divided among
thirty-two commission houses and some find
close figuring necessary. But there are no
failures among them to note. and, as a
rule. persons whose goods they handle
express themselves as we'll pleased with
results. In prices yesterday there were no
important changes. Berries of the sea-
son are still in large supply, and receipts
of vegetables, including Irish potatoes. are
increasing. Homegrown tomatoes made
their first appearance on the market yes
terday and are of fine quality. shipments
here are quite heavy from the South, and
prices are easing off. The DRUGGISTS are
quite busy. Oils continue 10 advance ana
are very firm at the revised quotations OF
Monday. Wholesale grocers had a BUSY
day, with prices practically unchanged.
The movement of sugars and coffees is
still large. Canned goods and dried fruits
are moving sluggishly. The produce mar
ket is active. Eggs. butter and poultry are
in good request at quotations., II good STOCK,
but small chickens. tainted butter and poor
eggs are not wanted. The hide market Is
active, with prices very firm. The same
remark will apply to leather.
The local grain market shows more &C
tivity. New wheat is coming in more
freely, twenty-three cars being received on
Monday and yesterday. Receipts of corn

ency. On the wagon market corn sold yes
