disclosed considerable animation. Receipts have
been OF rather restricted character, and the de-

has been principally by buyers for the Western

with the previous weeks, and in fact the higher

fer me time past. Operations have been princi-
pally 10 the trade, although later in the week
there seemed TO be considerable desire manifested

with moderate inquiry and prices firm. Later,
however, there appeared TO be lu in the mar

anxious TO SELL but as the week advanced, wi b
receipts continually of a limited character, the
demand became more active and general, with
considerable disposition to speculate. Supplies
became light and assortment poor. Dealers and
jobbers came forward more freely, and holders
