LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET
INDICATIONS GOOD FOR AN ACTIVE,
TRADE In JUNE.
Prices Steady, Except on Green Stuff
Larger Receipts of Grain COndu-
Give to Greater Activity.

So smoothly do matters move in trade
new to note. In the first half of this week
there has been a decided Improvement in
trade in nearly all lines. The hardware
and iron merchants, the wholesale grocers.
produce merchants anu druggists never en-
joyed a better trade in June than in the
first few days of this month, and it is al
ready apparent that the business of the
month is to be more satisfactory in all lines
than was that of May. On Commission
row prices Of fruits and vegetables. except
on apples, oranges and Irish potatoes. are
much lower than the corresponding period
last year. and the low prices which prevail
enables people in moderate circumstances
to have their tables well supplied with
everything in this line at prices within
their reach. Irish potatoes, old stock, are
about off the market, and receipts of new
potatoes are SO light that really exorDitant
prices are paid for good stock. Everything
III the line of green stun is quite abundant,
as home growers are largely supplying the
local market and even shipping To other
markets which draw their supplies from
indianapolis. Despite the active trade in
articles manufactured from iron and steel,
prices have not advanced as was predicted
a few weeks ago. Receipts of eggs and of
butter are quite large, and prices carry an
fat, healthy hens are in active. request at
prices quoted The dry goods houses, the
last two or three days, have had quite a
brisk trade for SO late in the season; The
-four market is quiet, with prices hrmer.
In other markets there is nothing calling
for special mention.
The local grain markets show more ac-
tivity. Receipts of corn are increasing,
and this is the cereal most in demand at
this point as the manufacturers of cerea-
line products have large orders to NIL and
need a much larger stock to keep their
plants in operation than they can COM
