business for the week just ended has
been, as might be expected during the seed

cheerful countenance, and grow fat upon
expectations.
Wheat, and in fact every other kind of
farm produce, remains unchanged from last
weeks prices.
Butter comes in more freely and eggs ar
abundant.
Onion sets, clover and timothy seed are
in demand, but none for sale in this mar
ket. Hungarian grass seed of very fine
quality is offered by our merchants but
with little success. Good seed corn sells
readily at $500 per bushel.
