Bad Weather Still Checks Trade
Prices Stendicr in Tone.

Trade is rather quiet in most lines. the con-
tinued cloudy weather and disagreeable temper
allure roubtless being the chief cause. In prices
there were no changes Of Importance. On Com
mission row apples. oranges and bananas are
In abundant supply. but on choice stock prices
quoted are fully maintained. The vegetable mar
ket is not in as strong a position as that OF
fruits. Receipts Of onions and cabbage are
larger. but prices are firm. Poultry is in active
request at prices quoted. Eggs are in good de-
mand. but prices are weak because OF the large
receipts. Flour is quiet. and, while there is no
change in quotations, the market is weak. The
iron and hardware houses are very busy. and an
advance in prices on some lines of goods would
not be a surprise, judging from letters received
from producing centers. The wool market as
days OF genuine spring weather would doubtless
give more life TO the market. COnfectioners re-
