LOCAL TRADE Is ACTIVE
COMMISSION ROW Is SWEPT OF
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
Irish Potatoes Continue Scarce and
High-Canned Goods Very Firm
Grain Arrivals Not Sufficient.

On Commission row there was a good
deal of activity to trade and by evening
the sidewalks were quite bare Of fruits
and vegetables. with the exception of
watermeIOns and canteloupes, which are
drug on the market as are grapes. Irish
potatoes are very scarce and not in years
says one OF the older of the commission
men. has the supply been so low. Still,
Journal quotations Will cover the market.
Sweet potatoes are in good supply. Vir-
JERSEYS are selling at 1913 to "a. Lemons
are plentiful and go off 80 cents per box.
Oranges are in light supply and irm at
prices quoted. The produce market IS very
active Poultry IS very nrm at prices
quoted Eggs are in active request and are
advanced TO Is cents. Wholesale grOcers
report business as fairly active In staples
the same strength of values prevails as
for some days past. There Is no dlmlnutlOn
IN demand for sugars. Prices are STEADY.
Coffees are moving better at. steady nS-
ures Short crops and higher prices Tor
cans keep quotations on canned goods very
stim. In dried and evaporated fruits little
is doing The seed market Is more active
at unchanged prices. The dry goods houses
had a fairly busy day, as did the druggists,
iron and hardware merchants. Inc uhIa-
VOTable news of the Presidents illness IN
the latter part OF the day placed dampen,
er trade, buyers being more interested
in kilograms regarding his condition than
in the examination and purchase OF goods.
The local grain market is under 2 cloud.
Not in many months have receipts been so
light For all cereals there is good de-
mand at the prices quoted, which, grain
dealers think, should result In larger re-
Ceipts. On the wagon market receipts are
not as large as in the early part or the
week and prices are well held on corn
and oats but on hay are easier. Track bids,
