readily ODtalnaOIs on ITsl c!asN seCuIltIeS'
But little, if any, trouble is experienced
by business men in getting what they
need, but farmers find more difficulty.
However such is generally the case
The state Of trade generally is still
healthy. Bad weather has nterfered
somewhat with the improvement that
was noted last week, but business is still
much more active than it was two weeks
ago. The improvement is most marked in
groceries, dry doodS and produce Iron
and nails have also picked up considera-
bly,.
The grain market still continues ex-
cecdinglY dull, Wheat is getting Scarcer
but no improvement in prices ia notice
able. The bad state of the roads no
doubt prevents farmers from moving the
stock they yet have on hands. Corn is
more active, the demand at present ex-
ceedng the supply. An advance of five
cents per bushcl, has been paid owing to
the light supply, but the advance is not
general, and is not expected to be more
than temporary. The regular price still
remains at what it was, 70 cts.
Notwithstanding the scarcity of wheat
the demand for -four has not improved,
aud neither have prices.
Butter and eggs have become much
more plentiful abundant in fact and
prices are dropping with slight de-
mand.
Apples are plenty and demand good, at
unchanged prices.
Potatoes are scarce and wanted.
The very severe weather destroyed
many by freezing, and the supply was
light in the first place.
Wool remains dull, being too early yet
for the new clip. Woolen goods are
high--fullya as high rs they have been.
And in this connection We may mention
that cotton goods Of all descriptions are
somewhat higher. The trade WAS
very dull all winter and
the New England mills only ran on
threa-qmrtcrs time through large Por-
ton of the season, in some cases Mt re-
duced wages, also; but the advance in
manufactured articles is owing to the ad-
vance in raw material. The increase is
from one to one and half cent, per
yard on muslins and prints.
The tobacco trade is very dull, and
prospects for improvement are not bright.
The agricultural implement trad" Is
livening up considerably. Dealers in the
city represent the improvement and
present prospects to be even better than
they anticipated, ard it is yet very early
for them, considering the backward sea-
son and bad roads.
