PORTLAND MARKET.
A Itenunie of tlio Condition or Its wr
ferent DepurtniBiitK.
Business continues fair in the whole
sale district. Shipping ordeis were large,
and receipts of produce and fruit were
about the average. The fruit market is
heavily stocked with grapes, and peaches
aro in large supply. Apples and pears
are also plentiful, rather more so than
tho demand warrants. Tho season for
plums and prunes is. about over, and the
fruit is growing scarce. Tropical fruit is
not plentiful, nor is there much demand
for it. Quinces nre in fair Btipply. The
vegetable market is well stocked, and
prices aro firm and the demand good.
Business in tho grocery line has been
very good the past week, and prices on
staples wore firm and steady. The wool
market is weak, and there is but little
doing in the way of real business. Hides
nre dull. There is not much doing lo
cally in hops, and prices are weak.
WHKAT.
There is little that is new to be chron
icled in the local market, which hns re
lapsed into a dull, easy condition under
the influence of weak cables from Eu
rope, stocks on hand are not large, and
shippers are doing very little buying,
except for delivery later on. Quotations
are nominal. London advices show a
further decline of 7d in ('argot's, with the
market quite inactive. Other European
markets are dull, bat nominally steady.
