with Prices Unchanged-Wheat
Weak and other Grains steady.

So smoothly and satisfactorily is trade
moving along on the wholesale streets that
il is difficult to note anything new that Is
of special interest. The dry goods market
has taken on a stronger tone and prices
Yesterday were very firm at the advances
made on Thursday. Notedly are prints
moving we'll at strong prices. The cooler
weather has improved trade with the boot
and shoe houses, the hat ana cap ueaiers
and confectioners, the latter now nearing
the period where their trade reaches It's
as ii does with the dealers in
fancy notions. The demand for sugars is
still active. consequently the easier tone TO
nrices is a surprise. Still, the fruit-preserV-
ing season Is nearing Its close ana con-
sumptiOn will be lighter. Contrary 10 eN-
pectatIons the cameo soous market moves
along in the rut OF a month past ana Is
free from special excitement. DRIED fruits
are hrmer and higher prices In the near
future for raisins and currants need not be
a surprise. Cheese is frmer, but attempts
to advance prices have not m~aterlalized.
Butter, eggs and poultry are stHl fast NOV
ers and expected breaks In prices nave not
vet been realized, ali being In actlVe re-
quest and supply of choice butter and eggs
and light poultry more, plenty. tropical
fruits are slow movers. There Is still very
fair offerings OF plums, pears and peaches.
