HEAT And The HOLIDAY
COMBINED TO MAKE A DULL WEEK
IN LOCAL TRADE.
Satisfactory RcsEits of the Half Years
tabIes-Arrivsis of New Wheat.

Trade on the Wholesale streets in the
week ended July 6 was the dullest in many
months. the extreme hot weather and a
holiday having much TO do with conditions.
A number of the merchants made it the
occasion 10 take account OF stock and sum
UP profits of the first six months business
Of 1901. and this summing up shows but lit
tie room for complaint on the part of deal
ers. Prices have ruled steady. but so low
that margins on goods sold were close.
Stir. the dry goods houses. the grocers and
druggists. confectioners. hat and cap deal
ers. boot and shoe merchants and iron and
hardware houses have all enjoyed a good
trade, with fair returns. On Commission
row immense quantities of fruits and vege-
tables have been handled of late. but prices
ruled so low that to get respectable profits
much work was required. The produce
markets have ruled steady for some days,
and the volume of business. weather condi-
lions considered, left little room for COM
plant. The flour market is dull and no i'm
provement is locked for until new wheat
arrives more freely and the future of the
market can be better determined. Provi-
sions are active, and prices, although now
a little easier, have for weeks past ruled
firm and at comparatively high figures. AS

wholesale streets and on Commission row
is likely TO be rather quiet. Prices in fruits
and vegetables are 1uctuating with the
volume of receipts and demand. Lemons
are still advancing I'm tendency. But few
oranges are offered. Green apples are COM
ing in slowly, but are in good request, If
not Small and wormy, as most of the re-
ceipts now are.
The local grain market is showing more
activity. all cereals being in good request.

ceived several carloads of new wheat, and

looked for. Receipts of corn are light. and
OF oats as well. All cereals are in good re-
