ness and depression, while others were extremely
quiet and nominal While there was but title

apparent Willingness on every hand to sell at the
market price. AS an Offset to The general quiet
there was considerable excitement IN the coffee
market over report that duty would be i'm
posed upon that article to go into immediate
effect. As hrst result OF the excitement prices
jumped mp about 1c. per pound. On Change -four
continued dull. Wheat was also in limited de.
mand, but the market was strengthened by the re-
ceipt OF more favorable advces from Europe. and
better prices were bid for spring without inducing
sales to any extent. Corn was lower. the market
being depressed by heavy receipts Oats were
steady. Lard was dun and easier, but there
were no important changes In other provisions
