UTYIcK OF THE WRKKLINa RHaIsrKR. !
"WEDNESDAY, March Is, 1876.

Our merchants are fairly active and
hopeful, and for the past week business
has been such as to inspire this feeling.
The country people and dealers are
letting 90 their wheat with some degree
OF alacrity, Us they have about made up
their minds that prices for grain have
about reached their best figures. This
view-is natural, and as the season is get.
ting late, and spring work will soon set
in, no time will be to spare TO get the old
crop of and prepare for the new.
In produce there is fair activity, par.
ticulsrly in butter and eggs. The for
mer is quite scarce, especially for good.
Eggs, though plenty, is in good demand.
Potatoes are so abundant that they
are hardly quotable
Maple Syrup is in good supply, but
little demand. 1t Is considered q sort
of luxury, and before it can go of lively
figures must recede little.
