LOCAL PRODUCE MARKETS
COOL WEATHER is GIVING MORE
SNAP TO TRADE.
Grocers Have No Room for Complaint
Corr and Hay Are Lower, Due
to the Larger supply.

TIL cooler weather yesterday gave more
snap to trade. Especially were the dry
goods houses, the hat and cap dealers. the
boot and shoe merchants busy. The milli-
ners, as for some time past, are enjoying
q good business. Probably in no line Of the
wholesale trade have results from business
been more satisfactory of late than with
the wholesale grocers, q line of business
which in many respects has improved IN
late years. Retail grocers who failed to
pay their bills have been quite well cleaned
out, and even with the small margins at
which a large per cent. of articles In the
grocery line are sold results in the aggre-
gate leave little room for complaint. Leath-
er merchants are having a big trade, with
prices very firm. The aide market is more
active. and prices very strong. The coal
dealers are now having their inning. Con-
trary to expectations in the coming of Oc-
tober, no advance in prices has yet been
made. Trade with the steel merchants av-
erages well with former years. and in
prices there nave been no changes of note
for some weeks. On Commission Row trade
yesterday was good. There is still a moder-
ate supply of watermelons. Canteloupes
are about gone. Some late peaches are Of
fsred, but not Of such quality as to COM
mand very good prices. Good apples are
in excellent request at prices quoted. The
supply of choice fruit is rather light. Irish
potatoes continue to arrive quite freely,
bat with an active demand prices are bet
ter held than had been looked for when
arrivals began to increase. The poultry
market. on increased receipts. is not as
strong in tone as last week. Choice butter
is a ready mover, and eggs, on light re-
ceipts, are In strong position as 10 prices.
The flour market is more active, with =
tendency to hardening in prices.
The iron and steel markets are active.
Prices are hardly as firm as during the
period of the ste ell strike, still no changes
of Importance in prices have materlallZeG.
Nothing new to note in other lines.
The local grain market broke badly yes
terday. Bidding was ~ cents below the
range of Monday. Receipts of corn are in
oreasing, but of wheat and oats exceedingly
