LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET
TRADE FAIRLY ACTIVE, WITH
PRICES GENERALLY STEADY.
GIut ia the Melon Misunderstanding in
Wearing AppareI-Grain Market
Is Relatively Quiet.

Despite the anxiety felt by business men
over the outcome of the attempt TO assas-
sinate the President a good business was
transacted yesterday. Aside from filling
orders brought on Saturday by the travel
ing statesmen, which were quite satisfac-
tory. mail orders were good on Monday
and number of buyers were in. Especial
~ was this noticeable in the dry goods
houses, millinery stores, hat and cap, and
boot and shoe establishments. In prices
the changes were few. Lines of dry goods
which were somewhat unsettled have taken
on a steadier tone. Druggists are having
a fine trade, prices, except on lnseed oil, be-
ing steady and strong. The iron and hard
ware stores are enjoying a fine trade with
prices firm but unchanged. On Commits
sion row large stocks of melons are being
carried and watermelons are drug on the
market, even at the low prices they are
offered. Sweet potatoes are in good supply
and selling at reasonable prices. Irish po-
tatOes are in better supply. but as there
is no accumulation of stock the commits
sion merchants are apt to hold prices at
the present high range, although a break
in the market in the near future will be
no surprise. The flour market is quite
the variation in price of wheat or late,
Provisions are moving we'll at the revised
quotations of Monday So long as the hlSh
prices for hogs prevail the provision mar
ket will rule firm at the present high range,
which is above the prices of any time In past
years. Eggs and butter are IN good request
and prices still carry a firm tone. Poultry,
on increasing receipts shows declining
tendency, but no actual changes were MADE
yesterday. An impression prevails that as
there are to be several important gather
quotations will represent the market TOT
some days to come. In other lines OF trade
there was considerable activity. The hide
and leather markets continue in the i'm
proved condition of several days past, but
with no further advance in prices.
The local grain market is rather quiet.
Receipts are light when conditions are
taken into consideration. Prices still have
a downward tendency, except on wheat.
Receipts of corn on the wagon market
continue large and the prices quoted for
corn and oats and hay are fully as high
as the situation warrants Track bids,
