BUSY DAY in CITY MART
HEAVY RECEIPTS OF FRESH PROD
UCTS WELL CLEANED UP.
Canned Goods Firmly H~eId-COffee and
Sugar Markets FeatureIess-
More Activity in Cereals.

Friday was a busy day with the commits
sion merchants. They had large stocks Of
fruits and vegetables and sold at such rea-
sonable prices that sales to retail grocers.
TO the wagon seller on the streets and for
Saturdays market were unusually large.
Watermelons, peaches, plums and pears
were in large supply. Few oranges are on
the market. Lemons are moving slower
and prices are weak. Green apples are
quite plentiful and some very good fruit is
offered. Prices quoted cover the local mar
ket on choice and fair grades of fruits.
The poultry market is active. Receipts are
Increasing sufficiently to allow all require
msnts to be met. The market for butter
and eggs also is active. Prices on eggs adj
vapopd to lie. Tomatoes gained no strength
and yesterday sold as low as 40c a bushel
and fine stock at soc. Sugars are weak at
the reduction of Monday last. The coffee
market is featureless, with trade moderate,
but i'm the aggregate the business of the
wholesale grocers is highly satisfactory.
Jobbers have but one story to tell regard
ing canned goods, which is of the strongest
possible condition for all those lines. Canned
tomatoes are steady at the high quotations.,
notwithstanding the fact that the growing
crops are producing in a manner far be-
yond expectations. Prunes, raisins and
currants are stronger in price. The prOvi-
sion market is active, with prices steady at
the recent revision. Trade with the iron
and hardware houses is active. with prices
strong, but as vet no material advances
have been established
There was a little more activity to the To-
cal grain market yesterday. Wheat ruled
steady at Thursdays quotations on the
track. Corn continues to decline, while
oats are very firm at quotations.. Grain
merchants and manufacturers of cerealine
products are disposed to purchase i'm a
hand-to-mouth style, while the present
high range in prices of corn prevail, being
confident that such prices cannot long be
maintained. and the letting down of the
market from day TO day encourages their
belief that lower prices are TO rule. Track
bids yesterday, as reported by the secre-
tary of the Board of Trade, ruled as fol-
lows:
