REMARxs.-Business has improved somewhat,
but is still duh Transactions In Breadstu are
especially very limted-the stock being unusually
small. The opinion very generally prevails that
& the crop of Wheat u pretty nearly exhausted
The mills here have had very little to do for some
time, and win no doubt suspend operations much
earlier this year than usual. The farmer who has
Wheat ought to bring in at once and avail himself
of the high prices before this suspension takes
place. The stocks of Breadstuiis are limited all
over the country but In the absence of any foreign
demand It Is not likely that the present high prices
will be more than maintained Tobacco Ia co,niun
In very freely, especially in loose parcels and the
prices continue high.
