October opens with a steady tone. The
grocery market is a fair example of pre-
vailing conditions; sugar is still a fast
mover, but prices. although maintaining a
strong position, have ruled steady for
weeks. Coffee is in better demand as fall
approaches, and with the increased de-
mand prices are firmer in tone. The provi-
sion market continues active and with
prices hardening daily. Dried and evapo-
rated fruits are quiet and until there is a
larger consumption nuctuation in values
VIII be slight. The dry goods market is re-
ported active, with a steadiness of prices
that makes the market healthy. On Com
mission row prices remain practically the
same as last week, but in quality an i'm
provement is noticed. This applies also to
apples and cabbage. Peaches are about off
the market. Grapes are still in good sup
ply as are pears and plums, the latter sell
ing low. Seldom does the produce market
move along in as smooth a rut as for sixty
Gays past. There has been an active de-
manu- IOr poultry, ggs and butter. and not
IN many years has each article brought as
sood prices week in and week out as since

canned goods carry a strong tone as to
prices, especially is this true of corn and
tomatoes. The West is drawing on the
East, where crops are better. Receipts of
both Irish and sweet potatoes are increas-
ing and prices are easing off. Hides adj
On the wagon market offerings of corn
ana hay yesterday were larger than on
considerable talking to dispose of their
corn or hay at the highest prices quoted.
More corn was sold at 10 than IS cents a
bushel, and late in the afternoon choice
hay sold at S12. 80 a ton. The local grain
market shows more activity with increas-
ing receipts, and 1T is thought by the oldest
