LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
INDICATIONS THAT BUSINESS WILL
BE UNPRECEDENTED.
Chickens and Eggs VIII Be High-New
Fruits and Vegetables Plentiful
Iron, Steel and Grain Active.

The week starts of with a promise Of
being a very busy one on the wholesale
streets and on Commission row. Filling
orders brought in on Friday and Saturday
gave a busy appearance to all the leading
merchandise houses and the reports of trav-
cling statesmen indicate that for the next
two or three weeks business is to be good
beyond all precedent. Eggs were advanced
another half cent yesterday and are now
selling at the highest figure ever known
in May. Inquiry among the hucksters who
ship eggs in here showed that on account
OF the cold spring many young chickens
were chilled and died and the farmers are
using eggs to set hens for more broods of
chickens. Chickens. therefore, will be high
through the whole season and this affects
the egg market perceptibly. While in the
Eastern markets eggs are the same as for
several days past, in the local market they
are now two cents higher than a month
ago. Poultry is scarce. the receipts being
unusually light for this season of the year
and prices are strong but unchanged But
ter Is strong. Receipts are fair but are
readily taken on arrival: consequently
prices rule very firm. On Commission row
Ii was a fairly good day. Old stocks of
apples, potatoes and like articles are unite
well reduced while new stock of straw
berries. green peas, beans and like goods
are arriving freely. Prices as compared
with former years are very reasonable
There are but few choice apples left to
sell and no new apples have yet come on
the market. A sprinkling of new corn was
noticeable, but not In quantities sufficient
to make IL quotable. The dry goods houses
are having a fairly good trade, largely in
the way of filling up broken stocks The
wholesale grOcers sent out piles of goods
yesterday Country roads are good and re-
tail grocers are stocking up preparatory
10 harvest. Druggists are having a large
trade in paints and oils. Flour continues
firm In tone and distribution is quite lib
eral. Iron and steel are very active. Prices
are firm but unchanged.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS. May
Acknowledgements, $50; shipments small. The
receipts Of cattle although fair for this time in
the week, were 15o smaller than last Monday and
twice as large as a year ago. greater variety
of stock represented than usual at this time
in the week, and the quality was also better than
expected on Monday. and. in fact well up to
the standard Of last week. In harmony with re-
ports from other places the market opened with
all bidding lower. and It took more or less time
to establish terms that would move the supply.
but finally, on basis Of about l0c lower prices
in most cases, a good clearance was made. All
local killers were in the market and took most Of
the supply, but few shipping orders were exc
cuted. Occasional sales indicated that prices
were almost steady compared with the close Of
last week. but usually, In such instances. IL was
claimed that the quality to-day was better There
was practically no demand for feeding cattle,
and it does not appear that there will be any
request for that class of stock until the country

expected that there will be a slow outlet for
heavy cattle Of any kind therefore, shippers will
