WEDNESDAY, March "a, 1875. !
March weather Of very disagreeable
description and bad roads in the country
are by no means indications ofgood trade.
The laws of supply and demand gener-
ally yield somewhat to the weather,
and weather We are still having.
However, trade /, steadily if
slowly improving in spite OF
the drawbacks. The presence ola few
country merchants during the past week
has been felt somewhat. Their stocks
will run down let the season be what it
may, and they must be replcnished.
The greatest difficulty country mcr-
chants have to encounter j, the lack Of
money. Many of them have been hor-
rowing for IL year, and they now
find that while money i, plenty
in the city, it is only plcntyto to those whose
credit is classcd A No. /. But "timc
brings all thing, even, and it is just rs
we'll and better, to hope for improvement
as it is to give up TO dependency.
The stock Of grain and Hour in the city
Is getting very low, although no change in
prices is to be noted yet except in corn,
which has permanently advanced to -
cents. Some grain Is being offered at
advanced rates, but dealers do not feel
disposed to pay more than they hav" been
for the last three months.
Groceries, provision, and produce are
somewhat livcIicr. Eggs have advanced
with a fair supply and better demand
Potatoes continue to advance and becom"
scarcer Apple, are still abundant, and
prices the same. The best quality Of but
tnr ha, also improved
HAY remains firm for good quality;
poor hay can scarcely be sold in this
market.
Iron is stitiening up very much, al
though the attempt to raise prices hms
not succeeded yet. Manufacturers have
been asking an advance this week, while
the dealers oppose it.
No other fact of Importance is to be /
noted. But very little change in quota
tions has been made, which are as fol-
lows:
