LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET
BUSINESS FAR AHEAD OF THAT OF
MANY PRECEDING WEEKS.
Very Heavy Receipts of Fruits and
train Trade Little Better.

The trade of the week closed on June 8.
while not fully up TO expectations. was so
much in excess of the preceding week or
in fact any week in May. that the whole
sale merchants were not disposed to COM
plain During the week there were but few
important changes i'm prices. In cotton
goods there was a slight decline. while in
quinine. alcohol and oils there were slight
advances. Poultry declined half a cent and
eggs the same. Butter ruled weak at quo
tations For fresh eggs and fat healthy
poultry there is a good request, as is the
case with choice butter, but an unusually
large percentage of the butter coming on
the market is of an inferior quality. Buring
the week new Irish potatoes advanced to
luxury prices. But few old potatoes are
now on the market. Green apples are prac-
tically off the market and but few oranges
are offered. The supply of strawberries dur
ing the entire week was largely in excess
of the demand. Cherries and gooseberries
are beginning to come in quite freely, but
are not fairly ripe. Receipts of pineapples
are large beyond precedent, and so is the
demand. Hides are dull and weak at the re-
duction in the early part of the week. but
leather is fairly active with prices steady.
Grocers had a good week. all staple gro
ceries ruling firm i'm price Stocks of canned
goods and dried fruits of last years pur-
chase well cleared out. No improve
ment is shown in wool. Iron and hardware
merchants are enjoying the best trade in
their history.
The local grain market showed more ac-
tivity last week than in any like period
| for some months past, and all cereals are
| in active request at prices quoted. Wheat,
| it will be noticed, rules 212 cents lower than
| on Monday, corn half cent lower and oats
| a quarter. The weaker tone to the grain
market has Increased receipts and IL is ex-
| pected the coming week deliveries will be
| large, should the weather be suitable for
moving grain. The week closed with track
