The week opened with a fairly active
trade. but few changes in values, and these
not of important character. Wholesale
merchants say that it should be taken into
considera ton that a large percentage of
the goods now sold is on small margins
for the wholesale house. The dry goods
houses reported more activity than last
week and steady prices on most lines: The
sales for May, while not up to expecta-
tions, says one of the leading houses, COM
pared well with last year. and prices which
prevailed through May last were steadier
than in May of 1900. Wholesale grocers
had big month, as has been the case for
years past. Only in March and April does
the business of the grocery houses seem to
lag. The druggists quite busy. The
unreasonable weather OF last month helped
their trade, and with the prosperous times
there is a great demand for paints, oils.
ETC., as not only in the cities, but also in
the country, owners of property are i'm
proving their homes by painting and
''sprucing up" generally. The flour mar

Receipts are moderate and prices easy at
quotations. Receipts of poultry, eggs and
butter are on the increase. The prices we

there seems TO be an OVerStOck. l11Sn po-
tatoes, both new and old, continue firm at
quotations, with no surplus in stock Other
vegetables are weak, but moving fairly
well. The seed market is quiet. Leather
shows a little more activity, with prices
a little frmer Arbuckle Bros, at New
York, advanced all grades of refined sugar
10 points. This is still points under the
price OF the American Sugar Refining Com
pany.
The local grain market moves along much
in the rut of several days past, with the
exception that receipts of corn are iHcreas-
ing and more wheat has been offered the
last few days than for some time past
The hay market shows signs of weakness
so good are the prospects for the growing
crop. Track bids on grain. as reported Dy
