TRADE NOT AFFECTED
LOCAL MARKETS ARE IGNORING
WARM WEATHER.
Potatoes Approaching Price Where
They VIII Not he n Luxury
Grain still weaker.

The return of warm weather has not as
Yet perceptfbly checked trade; so cool are
the nights that fruits and vegetables are
not decaying to the extent they did a few
weeks ago. on Commission row yesterday
was an active day, retail merchants pre-
pairing for Saturdays business. Irish pO-
tatoes continue to ease off in price, and it
IS thought prices will in a few days have
fallen where the economical housewife can
use less economy in serving this staple
article. Celery is becoming more plentiful.
Receipts Of cabbage and onions are more
liberal and prices are easier. California
fruits are moving better. Plums and Nal
aga grapes are in good demand. The
Wholesale grocery houses report a little
easing off in trade this week, but it is only
temporary. Sugars are moving well at un-
changed prices.
Poultry is in active request, both for
young chickens and well fatted, healthy
hens. Receipts Of eggs are moderate and
prices are very firm. Butter is in better
supply. and to bring out best quotations
must be choice. Cheese is slow OF sale.
The hide market Shows more activity than
for months past, and a further advance in
price is indicated. Leather also has an up
ward tendency over the revised quotations
OF Thursday. Other lines present no new
features.
The grain market moves along much in
the rut Of several days past, each day
showing a weake~ tone to prices OF cereals,
wheat excepted. and were 1t not Tor ltght
receipts prices for corn would undoubtedly
be still lower. SO confident are consumers
that present prices cannot long prevail
