There la a livelier tone In ths local

Apples are showing a mjrh firmer
tone and sales have thowj considerable
Increase, recently. Whlla ttiu demand

Just about half of the fruit being ripe.
Pears Air Belling Low.
Pear prices are very low for this time
of the year. Home extra select Winter
Nellls, just taken out of storage have
been freely offering at $ 2 a box or $1
per half box. The call for pears Is
not encouraging to storers, being too
limited. It Is believed that most of
the pears still In storage will be with
drawn for the California trade because
prices there are higher than here and
demand Is much more extensive at this
time.
Movement of ora-nges is Increasing
with the more mild weather, only dis
couraging feature about the orange mar

frosted stock still held In this terri

good trade In wheat all day and the
market closed unchanged to 9i,c a bushel

and good weather, although continued

to be sowed this spring.
There is much grain in tllo ware
