LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
RATHER QUIET BUSINESS DAY
OWING TO THE RAIN.
Easing Prices I'm Butter, Eggs and
Cheese-Scarcity of High-Grade
FIour-Grain Markets Light.

Trade yesterday was rather quiet. The
rain interfered somewhat with business
and retail merchants being well stocked
up. On Commission row there is still a
tendency to lower prices. and concessions
on the Journals quotations were made on
apples, potatoes, cabbage, onions and other
fruits and vegetables where large bills
could be sold. The weather has been so
favorable to shipping goods the last few
days that the travelling statesmen have been
able to sell a good many goods OF a
perishable character. The produce market
is very weak Receipts of eggs. poultry
and butter are increasing and demand is
fully supplied. With weak Eastern mar
kets still lower prices are predicted unless
the weather should become more wintry.
The flour market is surprise. Wheat
rules strong and is in light supply. and the
same is true of -four. Northwestern mil
lers are unable to get their freight through
promptly, and there is really a scarcity OF
the higher grades of flour I'm local as wei!
as Eastern markets. Lower prices need
not be looked for until conditions improve.
The hide market shows more life and
prices are a shade firmer. Leather is active
and prices are firm. Wholesale grocers
report trade as good. Their travelling sales
men are sending in good orders and the
market is unusually active for February.
Sugars are easy, as are roasted grades OF
coffee. Canned goods are moving readily
and there is q hardening tendency &c
prices. Boot and shoe dealers are having
an unusually good February business and
the same remark will apply to the iron
and hardware dealers. Bills are being met
with unusual promptness, and there Is q
disposition to discount them when pur-
chased.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1903-02-12

The attendance on call yesterday was
good and bidding was spirited Receipts
are not as heavy as dealers would like to
have them. While the roads claim to be in
better position to move grain, there Is still
a scarcity of cars which is seriously felt In
the trade. Prices yesterday were firm at
the following range, as reported by the
secretary of the Board Of Trade:
Wheat steady; No. red, nc track: No.
red, 761zc on milling freight; No. red, a5c
