TRADING QUIET IN
PRODUCE MARKETS.
Warm Weather Had Decided
Effect on Norris Avenue
During Past Week

In reviewing the activities of the
Morris avenue wholesale merchants
during the past week the first topic of im-
portance is the weather-for the wealth
er last week was one of the principal
factors in the general sluggish trade
which prevailed throughout Produce
Row" The excessive heat had a dead
ening effect on the trade of the various
marts. Yet. notwithstanding the
sluggard aspect of the local markets
prices held firm and the fluctuations of
quotations was mainly on the produce
market, where. owing to the perishable
stock and the extreme torridity. dealers
sold with the idea of avoiding losses
from decay with the result that low
price records were made in fruits but
were most noticeable in peaches.
The week just ended in the produce
market was eventful and there was no
lack of excitement daily. The peach
movement was at it's height in the early
part of the week. and with shipments
OF cantaloupes, watermelons, pears
and apples coming in briskly prices
fiuctuated rapidly as the demand was
unusually disappointing and the heat
played havoc with the fruit Birming-
ham buyers did not respond to their
opportunity last week in the produce
market. They waited for still lower
and lower quotations. They wait too
long. for the produce men have got rid
of their large stocks and will run light
for a while, just to supply the visible
demand. The prediction is freely made
that prices on all produce will soar this
week
During the past week the trade in
creamery products, poultry and eggs.
while affected by the hot weather still
kept above normal for this period of
year. Prices were firm with the ex-
ception of eggs, which towards the last
duction In price This week eggs are
expected to go up in price owing to
shortage of supply and increased de-
mand.
The trade on dry salt meats materi-
ally diminished during the past week.
The heat was generally accepted as
the cause of the depression from the
usually brisk business. Prices held
firm throughout the week, with no i'm
portant changes expected for this week.
Fish Were very plentiful all through
the week with no fuctuation in prices
and none expected this week.
The prospect of bumper crops all over
the country had its effect during the
past week on the grain merchants, for
prices went down several points on all
commodities. Trading throughout the
past week was about normal OF course
the extreme lot weather came In for
some blame, as brisker trade had been
anticipated This week -four from the
new wheat Is expected but prices will
probably show no changes for some
time Sugar and coffee went all through
the past week reporting daily brisk
trade with prices up to the standard.
This is expected to continue throughout
this week also.

ENGLAND RESTS
ON NOTE TO |NNES
Notifies British Charge
That There Is Nothing
to Add

Washington. July 27.-The British
government has decided to rest its pro-
test against the pending canal bill for
the present, at least. on the note sub
mitted by Charge Times on July IS
Mr. Innes notified Secretary Knox dur
ing the day that his government had
nothing to add to the note.
The British protest was aimed at the
provision to grant free passage in the
canal to certain American ships. The
protest. 1t Is stated, was made largely
in the interests of Canada. The Brit
ish governments decision not to act
further at this minute Is thought to
have been brought about through the
recent debates in the Senate which have
developed considerable Endorsement of
the British contention.
Further representations probably will
be forthcoming, particularly in the
event that the trend of the discussion
in the Senate should indicate the prob
able enactment of the bill This is the
more probable because the British gov
eminent Is believed to be receiving APP
peals from such colonies as Denmark
and other dependencies which might be
affected In their commercial relations
by discrimination in favor of the Amer
lean vessels using the canal through
Panama.
