TRADE in GOOD VOLUME
STEADY PRICES THE FEATURE ON
NEARLY ALL STAPLES.
Butter, Cheese and Egg Supplies Are
Very Light-SmalI Arrivals of Grain
Check Decline I'm Prices.

In most lines the trade of the week ended
on Sept. was highly satisfactory in its
volume and results IN the way OF profits,
leaving little room fer complaint, as on
most staple articles steady prices prevailed
through the entire week. Linseed oils and
quinine declined. but some lines of dry
goods advanced. as did hides, leather and
eGgs. On Commission row peaches and
plums were in abundant supply that I'M
less choice they sold low. Vegetables Of
all kinds, lest 1t be Irish potatoes. show a
weaker tone. Some very good apples are
now offered at reasonable prices. There
are but few oranges and lemons on the
market. and the demand as we'll is light.
Poultry. eggs and choice butter are in act
i've request at prices quoted. Seldom are
the receipts OF choice butter, healthy. fat
poultry and eggs So inadequate to meet
the demand as in the last few days. The
flour market shows a little more activity.
So steady does the price of wheat range
that -four varies but little The iron and
hardware markets are active. Prices car
ry a firm tone but do not advance, as one
would expect while the steel strike is pend
ing. Even wire nails selling at the same
figures sixty days ago. With the grocery
houses business has not been as active thus
far this month as in August, while in prices
there has been no change calling for men
tion. Sugars are moving fairly well. There
IS an easing off I'm the situation with canned
goods, although there has been no change
in prices generally. Tomatoes are not In
as strong position as thirty days ago. The
provision market is unusually active. with
prices strong. and further advances may
be looked for unless there is a check in the
advance In prices for hogs The dry goods
houses, the milliners and hat and cap deal
ers had fine business. In each line the
packers were kept busy we'll into the night
IN their efforts to ship goods promptly.
The local grain market carried a weak
tone all the week. But for the fact that
receipts were light lower prices corn
and oats than those under the reductions
OF the present week would have been real
lied. The hay market as well carries a
weak tone. Unless more rain falls soon,
however, TO keep pasturage in good cOndi-
ton higher prices for hay are likely to
