There was a little more activity to trade
yesterday, especially on Commission row,
many Of the retail merchants stocking up
with fruits and vegetables for Saturdays
business. and out-of-town orders were
quite large. Every year the local commits
sion houses are increasing their trade with
the larger towns and cities In the State,
especially the manufacturing towns in the
gas belt. Much 10 the surprise of the COM

fruit and vegetable line. prices being very
firm at the advance of Friday morning.
Receipts Of green apples are increasing, and
the quality is improving. The same remark
will apply to Irish potatoes and tomatoes.
Home gardeners are furnishing some very
fine potatoes and tomatoes. The provision

and so much OF the butter coming in is
poor and unstable that there Is quite an
accumulation OF poor stock. Really choice,
sweet butter, however, is in active request.
The poultry market is active. Young chick
ems are firm and in big demand. as are
healthy young hens. While prices on eggs
and butter rule weak. dealers yesterday
made no changes in quotations.
The local grain market has moved the
past week In much the same rut as for
some weeks past. To say that grain mer-
chants and millers are disappointed over
the light receipts is no exaggeration, but
this Is said TO be partly due TO the fact
that the hay crop Is large and farmers
