The week opened with strong and healthy
markets all along the line the cooler
weather giving more snap to trade. In fill
ing orders brought in by travelling sales
men on Saturday and the mail orders of
Monday there was a good deal of activity
on the wholesale streets. On Commission
row, for Monday, business was good. 1t
is expected that the colder weather will in
crease the demand for apples. potatoes and
other produce as the time to store for the
winter is now hand. In prices. yesterday,
there were several changes. Poultry, eggs
and butter had an advancing tendency.
Some shippers paid IS cents for eggs. Ar
rivals are light and there is an active de-
mand. Turkeys are moving better and ad-
vanced l cent pound. Butter is very firm
at quotations and for choice better than the
highest quotation was realized in some
cases, although the Journal prices are
those furnished by the shippers and repre-
sent the figures that can be relied on re-
CARELESS of the amount of produce offered.
Hides rule steady, with moderate receipts,
while leather is active and prices very firm
at quotations. Dried and evaporated fruits
are in better demand than at any time for
some months and canned goods are being
sought for Still jobbers are unable TO push
up prices, but may later do so when the
real condition of stocks is better under

the seed merchants. Coal dealers are very
busy, but have not as yet, advanced prices
over October quotations. Irish potatoes
and choice apples are selling at higher fig
ures than at any time this season, and

tone to both markets is looked for. Or
