TRADE in GOOD VOLUME
STEADY PRICES THE FEATURE ON
NEARLY ALL STAPLES.
Butter, Cheese and Egg Supplies Are
Check Decline I'm Prices.

In most lines the trade of the week ended
on Sept I was highly satisfactory in it's
volume and results in the way Of profits.
leaving little room for complaint. as on
most staple articles steady prices prevailed
through the entire week. Linseed oils and
ouinine declined but some lines OF dry
goods advanced, as did hides, leather and
eggs On Commission row peaches and
plums- were in so abundant supply that I'M
less choice they sold low. Vegetables Of
all kinds lest IL be Irish potatoes. show q
weaker tone. Some very good apples are
now offered at reasonable prices. There
are but few oranges and lemons on the
market, and the demand we'll is light.
Poultry. eggs and choice butter are in act
I've request at prices quoted. Seldom are
the receipts OF choice butter, healthy, fat
poultry and eggs so inadequate to meet
the demand as in the last few days. The
-four market shows a little more activity.
So steady does the price OF wheat range
that -four varies but little The iron and
hardware markets are active. Prices car
~ a firm tone but do not advance, as one
would expect while the steel strike is pend
ing. Even wire nails are selling at the same
figures as sixty days ago. With the grocery
houses business has not been as active thus
far this month as in August. while in prices
there has been no change calling for men
ton. Sugars are moving fairly well. There
Is an easing OF IN the situation with canned
goods, although there has been no change
in prices generally. Tomatoes are not IN
as strong position as thirty days ago. The
provision market IL unusually active, with
prices strong and further advances may
be looked for unless there is check in the
adX IN ar he drv de
houses, the milliners and hat and cap DEAL
ers had fine business. In each line the
packers were kept busy we'll into the night
In their efforts to ship goods promptly.
The local grain market carried a weak
tone all the week. But for the fact that
receipts were light lower prices on corn
and oats than those under the reductions
of the present week would have been real
lied: The hay market as we'll carries a
weak tone. Unless more rain falls soon,
however. to keep pasturage in good condi-
ton higher prices for hay likely to
prevail. The week closed with track bids,
