IT) cents each, apples at GO cents a
peck and bananas at 20 cents per

as there is no demand and no supply.
Oysters still retail at 35 cents per
quart. The cold weather of the past
week was a stimulus to the oyster

PRICES FOR THE SATURDAY MARKET BASKET
A fine variety of fruits and vegetables is to be seen on the local
markets today and from these the Richmond market baskets can be
filled with the best of winter fruits and hot house vegetables. The
general trend of shipped stuffs is for a lower priee and all sorts of
spring and summer dainties which are now coming from Florida will
soon be retailing at a mueh less price.
Strawberries remain high, 75 cents per quart, but the quality is the
best so far this winter. The demand for strawberries in Richmond is
picking up and a number of quarts is sold each Saturday.
Mangoes are higher, retailing at ten cents each, three for twenty
five cents. There is little demand for these. Brussell sprouts are
worth 30 cents per quart, tomato?s ten cents each and cucumbers are
bringing twenty five cents each.
Celery is worth from five to ten cents per bunch, according to
the size. Home grown celery has appeared, but its quality is not as
good as it will be a week or two later. Lettuce, radishes and onions
are as plentiful as in the summer and the same prices prevail. Cauli
flower is worth 25 cents a head, egg plant 20 cents each and cabbage
3 cents per lb.
CHICAGO MARKETS
No Snow Southwest; Shorts Went to
Cover; Wheat Finn on Possible
Damage to Crop; Corn
Receipts Large.
Chicago, February 9. Covering by
shorts, because of firm cables and
continued cold weather in the South
west, caused a firm tone in the local
wheat market. The failure of a
heavy snowstorm, predicted by the
weather bureau for Kansas and Ne
braska, to arrive according to sched
ule, was an important factor in the
calculations of traders. It was ex
pected that the snow would form a
protection for the crop, which trad
ers now believe may be damaged by
cold. The May option opened yc to
c higher, sold off to S4c, and ral
lied to SfyHc.
Cables Lower for Corn.
The corn market was easier be
cause of an excess in local receipts
and lower cables. May opened un
changed to y$c lower and for a time
held within these figures.
Prices in the oats market were
steady, but trading was almost life
less.
The provisions market was about
steady. There was moderate selling
by pit traders.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS
Hog Prices Climb Over Six Dollar
Mark; Reached Same Mark Five
Months Ago; All Buyers
in the Field.
Indianapolis, February 9. Re
ceipts 7,000 hogs, 1,650 cattle and
500 sheep, against 8,332 hogs, 1,635
cattle and 5S sheep a week ago, and
3,567 hogs? 757 cattle and 88 sheep
a year ago.
There was a good average run of
hogs, but smaller than expected at
this time in the year. All buyers were
in the field, and there Avas a prompt
transfer of the supply at prices 5c
higher than yesterday's average.
There was an easy outlet for late
arrivals and the closing sales were
steady at opening prices. All hogs
are still selling at practically the
same price, and there was only a 5c
range for most of the supply today.
Sales were made "at $5.90(a6.05, but
there were fewer at the low point and
more at the top price than yesterday.
The bulk of the supply sold at $6.00,
against $5.95 yesterday. The top
price today is the highest since Sep
tember 9.
Active for Cattle.
Cattle Receipts were larger than
they have been recently. There was a
good dmand from all sources, and
buyers being more anxious for the
female butcher grades, they were the
first to sell. There was also an active
market for steers, and with the de
mand equal to the supply a satisfac
tory clearance of all kinds was made
in good season. In a general way
there was no quotable advance in
prices over yesterday, but the mar
ket was steady to strong and 1015c
higher than the close of last week.
There was a steady demand for feed
ing cattle at recent prices, bulls sold
promptly at yesterday's prices and
there was no quotable change in the
calf market.
Good Sheep Strong.
Receipts of sheep and lambs were
larger than they have been for some
time and for the first time recently
there were enough on sale to invite
all buyers into the field. The demand
from outside sources, however, was
not good and local dealers had to be
depended on to take most of the sup
ply. The market was not quite
as strong as it has been, but good
kinds sold as well as yesterday. A
few lambs brought $7.25 and most of
the good kinds sold at $7.00, while
culls are as low as $5.00. There were
not many sheep here, but a few sold
as high as $4.50 and culls as low as
$3.00.

SLUGGISH FOR
STOCK MARKETS
LIGHT TRANSACTIONS CAR
RIED OPENING PRICES
. ABOVE LAST NIGHT.
MOVEMENTS OF IMPORTANCE
Were Confined to Special Stocks and
the General List Became Intense
ly Heavy and Dull.
New York, February 9. Light
transactions carried opening prices in
the stock market over last night's
with a few important exceptions, in
cluding Pennsylvania, Southern Pa
cific, Southern Railway and U. S.
Steel preferred, which showed frac
tional declines. The striking gains
were in the same quarters that have
been conspicuous for some time. Can
adian Pacific was carried up 1. Na
tional Lead 14, Great Northern pre
ferred, Reading and Colorado Fuel a
point.
Professional operators, after being
successful in undermining the mar
ket and driving prices back to yes
terday's opening level or below, re
versed their position and bid up the
list to a higher average level than at
the opening. As for some time, the
coalers and the Hill stocks were the
chief centers of speculation, and
their movement dominated the gen
eral market. Northern Pacific and
Great Northern preferred advanced
3y4.
Listless Speculations.
Movements of importance were
confined to special stocks, and the
general list became intensely dull
and sluggish. Great Northern pre
ferred and Northern Pacific rose 4,
Tennessee Coal ly, Union Pacific,
New York Central, and one or two
others a point or more.
Speculation was of too listless a
character to cause any striking fluc
tuations except in a few selected
stocks. Reading became moderately
active, and rose 1.
