AHEAD OF OTHER YEARS
LOCAL TRADE, WHILE RELATIVELY
DULL, is STILL SATISFACTORY.
Lighter Receipts of Fruits and VeEe-
tables Make Higher Prices-Unsat-
fsfactory Cereal Conditions.

While some dullness is the leading fea-
ture of the local conditions. there is hardly
a line of trade in which the volume of
business in the first two weeks in July was
not in excess of that of the corresponding
period last year. The wholesale grocers,
the leather dealers the hardware and iron
merchants and druggists have enjoyed a
good. healthy trade and the dry goods
houses did more than last year. While in
these lines the outlook for fall trade is very
promising. nothing can prevent a good sea-
SONS business unless the corn crop in In
diana. Illinois and Ohio is a failure, and at
present such a condition is not indicated.
on Commission row there have not been in
years past two weeks in which such guam
titles of fruits and vegetables have been
handled. Prices. until the last day or two.
were low. but in the aggregate left very
fair profits to the commission houses. Re
ceipts of fruits and vegetables are now
falling off and as result there is
stronger tone 10 prices on potatoes. cab
bage, onions and most other vegetables.
For so early in the season the supply of
water melons and cantelOupes Is large and
prices range lower than usual in July.
Warm weather has sent lemons forward
again and S. box on fancy stock is the
ruling price The poultry market is active,
but. more chickens could readily be sold
than are arriving. Eggs are in light sup
ply Gambling cutting down receipts fully
one-fourth. as many eggs must be thrown
away. Dried fruits and canned goods are
moving slowly. The provision market Is
active and prices are firm at late revisions.
The -four market Is under a cloud and
prices carry an easier tone on the lower
grades. Unsettled conditions are likely to
prevail until receipts of new wheat in
crease and the range of prices is better
established. The hide market Is In strong
position with prices firm at late advances.
Receipts of wheat have increased some
what the latter half of the week, but still
are not up 10 expectations. During the
coming week larger arrivals are looked for.
Corn. as well, is in active request at the
high range of prices Not in many years
has the situation been as at the present
time and rumors of short growing crop
adds to the inclination on the part of farm
ers to hold their corn As most farmers
are financially in shape TO hold 1t. receipts
are likely to be disappointing for some time
TO come The week closed with prices on
the track ruling as follows, as reported by
