WEDNEsDAY, May 5, 1875. :


"WEDNESDAY, May 5, 1875.
Business in nearly all branches is gem
crslly fair and active.
The market for wheat yesterday was
not as brisk orbuyers as keen rs in the
earlier part of the week, and from the re-
ports that are daily received in regard to
the coming crop not being injured to so
great an extent, the chances are that the
highest figure has been reached, at ieast
for while. The reports from all the
grain centres aret hat the market is as
suming dIllness and prices are reacting
The highest price paid here for choice
No, was Sl.40 Reports are coming in
from roundabout that the wheat which
was supposed to be killed two weeks ago
is coming up nicer than before the frost.
Provisions are firm, and large sales.
Cotiees are steady, but not SO much
disposition to buy at late figures.
Sugars are in active demand, and fig
areS advancing.
Dry Goods-Trade spasmodic and only
moderate, the farmers buying only what
is absolutely necessary.
For canned fruit the demand is fair,
as is usual at this season. The recent
scare about all the fruit being destroyed
does not seem to have advanced prices
any. s,s
