STILL UNCERTAIN
M arket Appears to Be
Weakening Offer
ings Are Now Plentiful.

Although uncertain, the sugar mar
ket appears to be weakening. Retain
quotations this morning on beet sugar
ranged from $3.50 to $7.75 per hundred.
while IS was the highest quotation on
cane. Wholesalers admit that the SUI
gar market is uncertain and that there
is no telling what 1t will do as prices
may go up or down.
Peaches are quite plentiful, but not
overly ripe. Farmers have picked the
fruit too green in order to rush the
market and are getting a lower price
than for ripe fruit, rs peaches do not
rfpen off the tree to advantage. Water
melons sold today at Ia cents per
pound and the supply is heavy. In
the livestock market hogs are plenti-
full, the sales thus far this week being
the heaviest in several months for the
same period of time. Mutton and sheep
sales have been good and the general
tone Of the market shows a healthy
condition.
Wheat is plentiful in the grain mar
ket and ranchers are offering the new
crop in large quantities. Oats is slow
and as yet but little have been offered.
Several grain dealers were seen this
morning and all are offering the same
prices for hay and grain. A few slight
changes are noted in the quotations to-
day, which are as follows
