Trade on the wholesale streets Is now at

this remark apply TO dry goods houses,
boot and shoe merchants, hat and cap deal
ers, milliners, confectioners. druggists and
iron and hardware merchants. Wholesale
grocers feel it less than any other line OF
trade, as during harvest time the retail
merchants usually do a good business. and
this reacts on the wholesale dealer. A close
eye is being kept on the leading staples
in the grocery line, as changes are expected
any day. Sugar is looked upon as likely
to decline, a belief prevailing that the
differences between the American and Ar
buckle reineries will be adjusted and a
truce declared. There is also a difference

If known TO be strictly fresh sales are
heard of at higher prices than we quote;
in here are small and high prices are de-
manded. AS a consequence sales are light.
The local grain market shows more
activity than at any time in some months.
and while the receipts are by no means at
a maximum volume, there is such an Inn
provement over the arrivals as compared
with a month ago that grain dealers and
manufacturers of cerealine products feel
much encouraged. Receipts of corn of the
