Conditions continue 10 improve in the
local markets. especially on Commits
row, where there is a good deal of a~ctivl>.
The recent rains have tended to increase
shipments of fruits and vegetables to this
market, and a trip along Commission row
reveals the fact that the supply is larger
than has been represented. Price carry a
somewhat easier tone unless it be on very
choice stock. Tomatoes are in ~oversupply
and are easy at 80 cents a bushel. Receipts
of Irish potatoes arc increasing and pres
ent prices, ii is thought, will not long pre-
vail. The quality of apples is improving
and at all time have prices been above the
average in August. Peaches are plentiful
ard are selling low. unless very fine stock.
Waterme,ons and canteloupes are declin-
ing in price and are in good supply. In
tropical fruits prices are firm and demand
is good. Butter, eggs and cheese are firm
at quotations and are in active request.
Poultry is taking on a somewhat firmer
tone. The chickens arriving are larger. bet
ter fattened and consequently are in better
request. Young ducks also are in active
demand. Grocers are having the best trade
In months. Refined sugars are easier. Rice
is very firm at primary points, with prices
higher. There is nothing new in the coffee
situation. Provisions are in good request
at the revision of Monday. Canned goods
continue In strong position. The dry goods
men are having a better business this week,
as retail merchants are beginning to stock
up with fall and winter goods. In prices a
steady tone prevails. Druggists are quite
busy. Linseed oils are weak at the recent
reduction. The seed merchants report a
marked improvement in their business since
the rain. Prices were carefully revised on
Tuesday and as all seeds are firm in tone
any early decline is not probable. With the
weaker tone to the wheat market flour has
lost some of its strong tone, but quotations
represent prices prevailing at the present
time on grades most handled on this mar
ket.
The local grain market is very dull. Receipts
are light ana prices are declining. With the
weaker market dealers and millers are not dis
posed 10 purchase on a large scale, so that TAX
ing all in all. the market is under a cloud. The
