The continued hot weather is forcing up
the prices of many articles. Flour has an
advancing tendency and the opinion pre-
walls that II is to be still higher. Irish
potatoes are becoming short in supply and
higher prices are talked Of. Navy beans
are very strong at the advance made In
the early part of the week. a forerunner of
higher prices yet TO come. Green apples
are, if choice. in good request. A large
percentage of the arrivals are small and
gnarled. In the small berries the market
is becoming bare. Lemons are in active re-
quest, fancy bringing So to $3.50 per box.
Oranges cut but little figure, with but
few on the market and but few wanted.
Tomatoes, green beans and similar articles
all are in strong position, prices having a
hardening tendency. Canned goods are
very firm. High prices for tomatoes are
looked for. Weather conditions are being
watched closely, sales Of the pack OF the
season depending upon the continuity OF
the dry weather. Receipts Of watermelons
and canteloupes are increasing. and prices
are easier in tone. In tropical fruits there
is a fair movement. Bananas are moving

quiet. The oil market, which has been
unsettled for weeks. has shown no change
of importance the last few days. The iron
dealers and hardware merchants report
their trade a little slow. but look for a
large fail business. Whether the strike Of
the steel mills is to affect prices I'm lines Of
hardware or structural work IS stu a prob
lem depending on the length of the strike.
The hide market the last few days has car
