FEW CHANGES IN LOCAL MARKET

TENDENCY IS FOR FLORIDA "SUMMER" VEGETABLES TO DECLINE IN PRICE. STRAWBERRIES WILL DROP Turkeys Still Here But Demand is Small Grocers Pay But 12 'r Cents For Eggs. . Very-fow-ehanges have been recorded. during the past week in the prices of fruits andvegelables in the local market-' FlorkJi' "summer" vegetable have a tendency to become cheaper, but the Richmond price. is not greatly affected. Strawberries are still selling for seventy five cents a quart, but inside a week or two ten cents, or .maybe a quarter will be dropped from this price, if the Georgia crop is good in both quality and quantity. Other Florida stuffs have dropped a few cents, cucumbers selling for five cents less each, and mangoe and tomatoes a few cents cheaper. Chickens continue high and turkeys are hanging on to the last, although the demand is small. Eggs will probably take a drop today on account of the warm weather, and one grocer last evening predicted that they would be selling for but 15 cents a dozen. The grocers are paying 12 cents a dozen for them in preparation of a drop. Oranges are getting higher, and russetts are about gone. First class California oranges are selling as high as CO cents a dozen, but the fruit is of the best quality ever seen here. LOCAL MARKETS COUNTRY PRODUCE. . . (Paid by the Bee Hive Grocery.) Butter.

CHICAGO MARKETS

Wheat Weak on Large' Argentine Shipments and Reports of Wet Weather in India Corn' Market Supported. Chicago, .February .23. General selling by commission houses caused weakness, in the wheat market here. Continued liberal shipments from Argentina and reports of wet weather in India were chiefly responsible for the selling pressure. Other factors were weak cables and mild weather in the United States. Practically the only support to the market came from shorts. The May option opened (ac to c lower, sold off to8iy2(a81c and then rallied to 81c. Lowest Cables for Corn. lower cables and the break in, wheat had a depressing effect on the corn market at the start. May opened VsQV-iQ to (oc lower, and later sold at 42c. Despite the weakness of other grain, the oats market was steady. The provisions market was firm, al though prices yielded to selling by pit traders. Chicago Grain and Provisions. (Furnished by O. G.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS

Light Hogs Steady to Higher; Heavies Slow; Packers Are Only Important Buyers in Market Cattle are Dull. Indianapolis, February 23. Receipts, 5,500 hogs, 1,000 cattle and 150 sheep, against 8,027 hobs, 1,541 cattle and 333 sheep a week ago, and 7,569 hogs, 1,656 cattle and 169 sheep a year ago. There was only a fair run, of hogs, but notwithstanding this, the market was generally unsatisfactory to the selling side. At the start shippers executed a few important orders for choice strong weight light hogs at 5c higher prices, but this trade lasted only a short time, and when local packers were practically alone in the market they refused to pay the advance, A good part of the supply was finally sold at steady to 5c higher prices, but most of the best heavy hogs remained in the pens unsold. There was a poor market for ordinary light hogs and pigs. They are now selling 25c lower than earlier in the week. The range in sales was from $6.10(a6:30, although there were several sales at lower figures. Small Run of Cattle. There was a small run of cattle for a Friday market, but the demand was also small. Trading was dull and unsatisfactory to salesmen. Most of the best cows and heifers sold about steady, but other female cattle were weak to lower. There has been a general decline of 10c to 15c in this branch of the market this week. There was no competition for steers and salesmen had difficulty in finding an outlet for supplies at barely steady prices eompai-ed with yesterday. There were not many strictly choice cattle.. There was no change in the situation as regards stockers and feeding cattle and bulls and calves were steady. Sheep Were Steady. Only a moderate supply of sheep and lambs arrived, and there was no change in the situation compared J with yesterday. Local butchers were about the only buyers and took the supply at about steady prices. Lambs sold for 25c lower than earlier in the week. There were only a few here good enough to bring as high as $7.00 and most of the large bunches sold at $6.006.85, while culls were reported as low as $4.50. A few extra good sheep sold at $5.25, which is as high as any have sold heretofore this week. Cattle.

During the holiday interval in this market there were; wide advances in American stiojjs;in the London market And the opening here was higher than on Wednesday, in sympathy. Great Northern preferred and Northern Pacific were lifted about 2 poipts, Reading 1. Erie, Union Pacific,. Colorado Fuel, Smelting about a poiot and Amalgamated Copper, Sugar,' St. Paul and Chesapeake & Ohio large fractions Anaconda sold at an advance of 42 and United States Steel preferred, Pennsylvania and Press Steel Car declined fractions. While there was a decided element of strength in the opening dealings, unexplained liquidation in several stocks created some nervousness, and reaction followed which reached 1 in Colorado Fuel iy in Northern Pacific and 2 points in Great Northern preferred and Smelting. Subsequently the market rose to a generally higher level than at the start, under the influence of the large buying of Reading and the transcontinental stocks. Demand Subsided. After further advances the demand subsided largely, but without much effect on prices until near noon. Great Northern rose 3y2, Northern Pacific 3, Northwestern iy and Canadian Pacific, Baltimore Ohio and United States Steel. Reaction in Reading and Great Northern preferred of iy2 and in Northern Pacific of 1 affected the tone at noon. Bonds were irregular.
