PRODUCE MARKETS.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Trading on South
water street was rather SLOW in all
hnes. Poor condition Of the s.reets and
cold weather tended to keep most buy
erS away. There We're a few retail
dealers on the market and they took
hold freely, but supplies were more
IMAM ample Tor all of their require
ments. In the poultry market a feature
was the scarcity of live chickens and
dreSserS could be seen scurrying from
store to store in order to have their
wants supplied. The potato market
showed firm undertone, while sweet
potato prices held although offerirgX
We're more liberal than Of late The
interior holder has become aware of the
fancy prices being paid for sweets
IN this market and in consequence is
rushlng all OF his stock to this market
