RECEIPTS ARE SMALLER
HOT WEATHER CHECKS ARRIVALS
OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
Prices, Consequently, Are Tending
Higher-Larger Arrivals of Wheat,
but Corn Is Being Held Back.

There Is little new to note in the condi-
ton OF the local markets unless II be on
Commission row. The dry weather has re-
suited i'm a very sharp falling off in ship
ments OF fruits and vegetables from the
territory which usually supplies this mar
ket in July and the dry weather in this
immediate vicinity is cutting seriously into
the deliveries of nearby products. AS a
result prices are tending upward and are
very strong at the marked advance Of the
beginning OF the week Unless there is rain
soon even higher prices may be looked for.
Irish potatoes, on lighter receipts. are
much frmer. Commission merchants find
st difficult TO get their orders for cabbage
and onions and like articles filled with any
promptness. and the Oldest commission
men say that they have never known like
conditions TO exist in the middle of July.
The produce markets are quite active.
Young chickens are in active request, the
demand increasing as they Improve In quail
1ty. Butter, II choice. sells readily at the
best quotations. but thousands of pounds
OF poor butter are received daily, large
part OF which sells at prices paid for grease
OF any kind. Eggs are I'm active request.
ana While receipts are large for July,
great a part of the arrivals are poor that
the loss Is heavy to the shipper. Flour
carries weak tone. The provision mar
ket Is healthy In character, domestic de-
mdnd. as usual IN midsummer. for smoked
meats being large, with prices steady at
the revision OF Monday last The grocery
market Is fairly active. sugars and coffees
being In active request. In canned goods
and dried fruits little is doing. The iron
and hardware stores are ENJOYING an I'M
usually large trade for midsummer. as so
much building is in progress i'm the city
and throughout the State. Seeds are quiet
80 unchanged prices. Other lines are with
cat new features.
The local grain market increases In activ-
fly as the month advances. There is an
active demand for wheat corn and oats
at prices quoted. While receipts OF wheat
are increasing receipts OF corn fan short
OF expectations, and the cerealins mills are
finding II difficult 10 keep In operation and
90 not attempt 10 run TO full capacity. The
local Touring mills are buying good deal
