LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
THE MILD WEATHER Is CAUSING
FRUIT TO ROT BADLY.
Easier Markets for Butter and Eggs
GrOcers Are Very Busy-LOwer
Prices for Cereals.

Trade conditions continue very salts
factory, for the season of the year. Whole
sale grocers are quite busy. the demand
for staple groceries being good. People in
the country seem to be well supplied with
money and disposed to live better than in
former years, and this helps the retail
grocer, who. in turn, buys more literally of
the wholesale houses. Sugar and coffee
have pursued an even way at steady quo
tations, with no special feature in either
line. The demand for roasted coffees is
large and prices are very firm. Navy beans
are steady, although 1t has been discovered
that the stock is in excess of what has
been understood, and easier prices will not
be surprise. Canned goods sell freely
Tomatoes continue in good supply and
weak. The same remark will apply to corn
Other canned goods are firm. Dried fruits
are moving freely, and large-siZed prunes
are trihe higher. Irish potatoes are SELL
concessions are made to make large sales.
Southern produce is coming in quite freely,
and quotations have downward tendency.
Cabbage are I'm large supply and easier.
Apples are weak at quotations, owing part
ly TO the large stocks held and the rotting
of fruit due to mild weather. Oranges are
in good supply and prices are easy. Lem
ons have an advancing tendency. Other
wise the list of tropical fruit quotations
remains as for several days past Butter
is weak, but cheese holds its own firmly,
with tendency to higher prices Eggs
are weak on increasing receipts. Poultry
continues firm, with demand good at un-
changed prices. Offerings OF turkeys are
light, as is the demand. Provisions are
firm at the advance on hams aid breakfast
bacon of Monday last.
