Trade in butter during the past week was
again only moderate and transactions were
confined manly to the local trade The arri-
walls during the week were rather meager, par
ticularly of choice, of which the supply at the
present time is very light. The advices re-
ceived from the East continue unfavor-
able and the demand on shipping ac-
count consequently was limited. For
the better qualities of butter the demand
continues good, and prices ruled firm but me-
dunn grades were but little called for, and for
these it was found difficult to make sales
There was no change of importance in prices.
Beans under a light demand ruled dull and
very quiet. Prices were unchanged and quota
tons were at $1.75G61.S0 per brl for good TO
prime Eastern mediums, and 41.0001.75 for
Western, according to quality. There was
nothing of consequence done in beeswax; quot
able at 26(G2Sc for prime yellow The reports
received from the country i'll regard to broom

more disposed to realize. There was rather a
weak feeling developed, though no particular
alteration was exhibited in values. We quote
