wards the close of the week there is less austerity
in it than the week ushered in Business, however,
has been generally dull not so much on account OF
the Brightness of the money market Tor that has
relaxed somewhat but account of the light stocks
of all descriptions of Western and other Produce and

which to hand from abroad that is calculated
to stiffcn prices We hope for a better time.
