LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET
VERY HEAVY TRADE IN ALL KINDS
OF GREEN STUFF.
Dealers I'm Staple Articles Are Very
Busy-Grain Market Not as Active
Has Been Hoped For.

On the wholesale streets and on Commits
sion row there was considerable activity
yesterday. Weather conditions are such
that they are favorable TO many lines OF
traffic On Commission row receipts Of
fruits and vegetables are very large, both
of home production and shipments from
outside 10 this market. and were the wealth
er extremely warm as is usually the case
in June. the losses from decay would be
large. Probably never on this market was
there so large volume of business done in
the sale of fruits and vegetables as the
present season. Retail grocers are liberal
buyers and in commenting on this, one OF
the older and more prominent retail mer-
chants said that people of all classes
seemed TO have money TO buy fruits ana
vegetables OF the season to an extent ne
had never before known Except on Irish
potatoes prices ranged lower than is usual
early in the season. BY the end OF the
week the commission houses get their
stocks well cleaned out, on Saturday selling
at prices which the street peddlerS by
wagon take advantage Of The produce
markets are quite active. Receipts of eggs
are not as heavy as ten days ago, and with
a good demand there is little accumulation
of stock. Butter is in better supply, but
in choice stock accumulations are limited.
Poultry. If healthy and fat. brings good
prices and is in good demand. Young
meet with active demand. On the whole
sale streets. yesterday. the freights for
shipments along the walk gave evidence
that it was an active day with the dry
goods houses, the druggists, the boot and
shoe merchants, the confectioners. hard
ware and iron stores and wholesale grocers.
In prices there were but few changes, firm
ness being characteristic in all lines, so
far staple goods are concerned.
The local grain market was without new
features. Grain handlers and manufac-
turers of cerealine products are disap-
pointed tnat the shipments of grain at the
present range of prices are not heavier, in
fact not equal TO the local demand. Ship
ments through here to other markets east
make 1t evident that those holding grain
are not moving IL TO the extent that grain
merchants and railroad officials had an
ticipated would be the case with the reduc-
ton Of rates on June. Track bids as re-
ported by the secretary of the Board of
Trade yesterday ruled as follows, all
cereals being in active request:
