STOCKS, BONDS, MONEY, And GRAIN
LOCAL PRODUCE MARKET
wholesale Prices.

The produce market was dull in all
departments for severfl hours after
opening. but from them on prices grew
better OH all but live stock, which re-
mains the same as yesterday, and on
chickens, which fell from IS TO II, owing
TO a large shipment which arrived this
morning. This slight decrease in price,
however, is not expected to last over
today Butter remains about the same
with the exception of an increase OF 1
cent on nearby fresh Virginia, and
fancy stock Vegetables are coming in
very good quantities, and the quality rs
also good. There are few changes.
Green fruits, with the exception Of fancy
table apples also remain the same. On
these the prices received are better than
at any other time THIS season.
These are the wholesale prices quoted
by local jobbers 10 the retailers. They
average a few points higher than prices
quoted by the producers to the Jobbers.
