"WEDNESDAY, April IA, 1875. I
Although trade is not quite so active
this week as it was last, still it is brisk
and healthy. Farmers are hard at work
now doing their spring ploughing, and
country dealers have, therefore, plenty of
time to decide not to buy until they see
what they must have, their purchases
being limited to this.
Groceries are moderately active but
quotably unchanged.
Provisions still active and still advsnc-
ing slightly.
Butter is very scarce and advancing
Eggs are plenty and dropping.
Hay is dull and prices down.
Wheat and -four remain the same as
last week in prices but trade is not quite
30 brisk.
The supply of apples is good, while
prices remain at the advance noted las.
week.
Wool and sheep pelts are duller than
ever, although quotations Iemain un-
changed.
Iron remains unchanged in quotations
The mills here have been endeayoring tor
some time to obtain an advance, but deal
ers oppose it. Were it not for Pittsburgh
the attempt at an advance would be sucr
cessful. Pittsburgh dealers are doing
their utmost to keep the prices down.
They take orders at low rates and ifthey
are not able to fill them entirely, they I'LL
them partly, thus making other places
come to their prices for the balance.
Maple sugar and syrup remain abun-
dant at unchanged prices.
