The wholesale merchants. almost without
exception. report trade very active. Many
retail merchants are in the city and
are liberal buyers. and present indications
are that the wholesale houses viii derive
more benefit from the attractions of this
week in this city than on account of the
state fair, the reduced rates having been
taken advantage of by the retail merchants
who were DESTROYS of examining stocks
Many of the travelling statesmen remained in
this week to look after customers who
CHANGED to drop in. In prices there were
but few changes yesterday. In dry goods
there is a good deal of activity. Wooden
goods, as well as bleached muslins and
prints. have an advancing tendency. The
wholesale grocers are quite busy. Coftees
have a hardening tendency. owing to the
smaller receipts from Brazil and unfavor-
able outlook for the next crop. The list on
refined sugars is unchanged, but a decline
in prices is thought probable in the near
future. All lines of canned goods are strong
in tone. On Commission row, yesterday, a
good business was transacted. Potatoes are
steady, with arrivals about equal to the
demand from day to day. Sweet potatoes
in ample supply and prices are easier. APP
pies are very firm and higher prices are in
dicated. Homegrown vegetables are in
large supply, with easy prices. There is an
active movement in tropical fruits. 1t is ex-
pected that Florida oranges will be on the
market by Nov. /. Eggs are very firm at
unchanged prices. Butter is weak. unless
choice. There is no change i'm the poultry
situation. Receipts are large, but with an
active demand there is no accumulation of
holdings. Provisions are fast movers. with
prices steadier, export as well as home de-
mand being larger than for some months.
Hides are active. with prices easier. Other
markets are without new features.
Receipts of grain by railroad continue
light and inspections are seldom as few,
