~P0SI.HOLIDAY DULLNESS
ONLY A FEW LOCAL LINES SHOW ANY
ACTIVITY.
Heavy Supplies of Fruits and Veg
etabies, with Slack Demand-New
Wheat Coming on the Market.

AS usual after a holiday. trade yesterday
was very quiet on the wholesale streets, the
wholesale grocers. the iron and hardware
stores and druggists being the only places
which showed activity. In the lines named
there were no important changes in prices.
Linseed Oils are very firm at the late adj
vances. but an impression prevails that
they Will not advance materially hereafter.
Hides are more active. The advance of a
quarter OF a cent. expected early in the
week. has not yet materialIzed. Leather OF
all descriptions is in strong position and
higher prices are indicated. Breaks in the
poultry, egg and butter markets may now
be looked for. y considerable percentage
of the eggs arriving are poor, and much of
the butter Is OF bad quality. Good butter
~ IN active request. as are goOd-SiZed chick
ems Provisions are in active request at
prices quoted. On Commission row Ii was
a blue day. Arrivals of fruits and vegeta-
bleS are large. but demand is slow and
owing TO the hot weather a considerable
percentage of the receipts in a few hours
are unfit TO sell and go to the dump at
evening. Prices OF fresh choice stock, how
ever. are well sustained. There is an i'm
prosement in the quality of green apples
and irish potatoes as the season advances.
Receipts OF tomatoes from the South are
large. and 1t is difficult to dispose of all
the arrivals at a good profit. The supply of
small fruit Is ample to meet the demand.
The local grain market shows n little
more activity. but there is still large room
fer Improvement. Receipts continue light,
while all the cereals are In active request
at prices named. Some new wheat Is com
ing on the market, but it is shipped a con-
siderable distance. Wheat OF Indiana and
Illinois growth will be in larger supply. il is
predicted, the coming week. Track bids
