TOO HOT FOR TRADING
MARKED CHECK TO LOCAL BUSINESS
BY THE WEATHER.
Strength of Hides aud Leather Is
Noteworthy-Fruit and Vegetable
Situatiop-LOcal Grain Market.

AS would be expected the continued hot
weather is checking trade. Many lines.
the dry goods houses, the confectioners
and the leather dealers feeling il the most
perceptibly. Wholesale grocery houses re-
port a letting down in orders this week.
The produce markets, weather considered.
are fairly active. young chickens and
healthy young hens being in good request,
as is choice butter. Receipts OF eggs are
light and much of the stock coming in will
not bear Gambling. On Commission row it
was only moderately active yesterday.
The merchants join in the assertion that it
is too hot weather to do business salts
factorily. Receipts of fruits and vegetables
are liberal, and if good stock, are meeting
with free sale. Much of the small fruit is
in bad condition. Strawberries are prac-
tically off the market, after one of the
longest seasons ever known. The crop was
abundant. prices low and sales large. New
apples are in active request, but still poor
in quality and high in price. Some very
good tomatoes are offered, but prices rule
too high as yet to create an active de-
mand. The seed market is dull with prices
easy. Hides continue strong in tone but
prices did not advance yesterday, as was
expected; but like the leather market.
the hide market is in much stronger posi-
ton than at any time in many months.
Provisions are moving well at the revised
prices of Monday. Sugars and coffees are
moving in large quantities, harvest season
and the canning of fruit now being at
hand.
The local grain market presents no new
features. Receipts of corn are light de-
spite the high prices which now prevail.
Local receipts are the lightest known in
early July in years. No new wheat is yet
expected from the southern part of the
State before the week closes. Track bids
yesterday, reported by the secretary of the
Board of Trade ruled as follows:
