The trade movement was rather brisker to-day,
ana in some commodities business was active at
full or improved prices. AS general rule how
ever there was but little change In values, though
there was more general movement throughout
trade circles The scarcity Of tonnage was still
felt except that engaged In the petroleum trade,
which was more freely offered and on terms rather
more advantageous to the shipper Grain room
was scarce, and even dearer than previously while
the offerings were little more liberal The cot.
ton market was still quiet, but spot cotton was
tribe hrmer, the market having partially recovered
from the late collapse. At the Produce Ex-
change there was a better feeling in bread
stufrs, induced by rather better inquiry for
account of foreign shippers Flour ruled quiet
but steady. Wheat was in better demand, how
ever, and with a very small supply and limited
receipts prices were advanced 1c. a &c. per bushel

less there was something done for export and con-
siderable could have been sold on the basis OF

firm. Oats were more active, and on some kinds
an Improvement was established. Whiskey was
