300. The receipts to-day were comparatively
liberal for a Tuesday market. The differ
ent grades were very well represented and
the quality generally was about as salts
factory as expected. The attendance of
buyers was smaller than last Friday, but
the demand was equal to the supply and a
good clearance was made In good season at
current prices. The steer market, on ac-
count of the small attendance OF buyers and
lessened competition. opened rather quiet.
but buyers were not Offering much lower
prices. Statesmen were willing 10 accept last
weeks closing prices. and all were finally
hanging hands on that basis. and a good
clearance was made. Steers averaging 1850
TO 1883 pounds sold at $500. with several
loads averaging 1.250 to LAS pounds at S.55.
The market for female cattle opened with
an inquiry FULLY equal To the supply, and
from the start the trading was active at
steady TO strong prices. Full loads OF heif-
ers sold as high as $4.S5. and the top price
reported for cows was $3.50. Quotations:

LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET
TRADE IN NEARLY ALL LINES
CHECKED BY BAD WEATHER.
Prices Continue Steady and i'm Many
Cases Strong-Grain Inspections
Are a Little More Numerous.

Seldom in May have weather conditions
been so unfavorable to trade as for a week
past, and there is hardly a line of business
that has not felt the unfavorable condi-
tons. Singular as it may seem, prices
nave shown no weakness, but rather,
as in the case of fruits and some descrip-
tions of vegetables, there has been a hard
ening in prices, and all staple groceries
rule firm. The iron and hardware markets
and the druggists lines all carry a strong
tone; especially is this true OF paints,
oils, quinine and several other drugs The
produce market, as well, carries an I'M
usually firm tone for May, and poultry,
eggs and butter are in good request at quo
taIions. The hide market continues easy
as TO price and only moderately active.
Leather OF late is more active, but not SUI
iciently so as to improve prices.
The local grain market this week mas
been more active than at any time for
weeks past. All cereals are in active re-
quest at prices quoted on the track, as FUR
