PORTLAND MARKET.
A Btinme of the Condition of IU Dif
ferent Department!.
Business was exceptionally good foe
the week. Tho month of September will
average away above August, and it is ex
pected that there will be a like improve
ment during October. The fruit market
iB well supplied with peaches, pears, ap
ples, prunes and plums. Grapes are in
lair supply, and melons are scarce. Je
first cranberries of the season came In
this week. Nearly every variety of Ore
gon vegetables is represented in abund
ance, especially cabbage, onions, toma
toes and sweet potatoes. Corn, cucum
bers nnd green peas are about finished.
The demand for all descriptions contin
ues strong, nnd prices aro firm. Oats
are firm. Flour is Bteady, and exports
are light. Millstuffs are weak. Choice
ducks and geese nre scarce. Turkeys are
in fair supply. The chicken market is
demoralized, owing to heavy arrivals.
The grocery business the past week has
been satisfactory, and prices are firm.
