POTATOES NOT HIGHER
SUPPLY OF BOTH WEE AND IRISH
KINDS Is LARGE.
Local Grain Market Yesterday Was n
Little More Active, but Prices
still Tended Lower.

Interest continues to be manifest i'm near
ly all lines of trade i'm about the same de-
gree that has marked trading for several
days. Vegetables. aside from Irish pota-
toes and sweet potatoes, are plenty and
selling at as low prices as in any former
year. The daily receipts on Commission
row bear evidence that a fully average
crop has been realized. The oldest COM
mission merchants do not remember a year
i'm which in August the supply of peaches,

and sold at more reasonable prices.
Tropical fruits range a little higher than

and few are wanted. Canned goods are not

profits foot up satisfactorily.
The local grain market shows a little
more activity, but prices are still tending
lower. Especially is this true Of corn. Oats
are in active request and prices firm at
quotations. Receipts of corn on the wagon
market are unusually large. and this tends
TO break prices. Track bids, as reported by
