BUSINESS is VERY GOOD
LOCAL MERCHANTS MUCH PLEASED
WITH TRADE CONDITIONS.
Remarkable Advance i'm Linseed Oil
for the Week-FlOur Market Ac-
tive and Firm-CereaIs Inactive.

Despite the sorrow brooding over the
Nation on account of the death of the
President in the fOrepart of yesterday an
active trade was the feature. Especially
was this true on Commission row. 1t be-
ing Saturday the demand for fruits and
vegetables was large ard many OF the re-
tail merchants we're stocking up for next
weeks trade, which bids fair to be large,
owing to the gatherings here and it being
State fair week. Irish potatoes were in
better supply yesterday, but there was not
such an Increase as 10 affect prices. which
the highest known in September since
Indianapolis became so important a mar
ket. Several trainlOads of Irish potatoes
from California are en- route East Wheth
er this fact will lead to lower prices here
of whether any will be offered this mar
ket is not known. Prices on choice peaches
a shade Ermer. Fears and plums
selling slowly ut low figures. Sweet pota-
toes ar in good supply, as are onions and
cabbage and prices are steady at reason
able figures. The produce market is very
active. Poultry Is IN active request and
half cent higher is paid for hens and
spring chickens than early in the week.
Eggs are scarce and very firm at quota
tions. There Is an active demand for choice
butter. and while II cents a pound is the
regular quotation. some really choice Will
sell halt 10 cent higher than quotations.
