OFFICE DAILY INTELLIaRScRR,
"Wednesday, February 10,

The leading merchandise markets con.
tinue dull. Our merchants and manufac-
turers, however, are hopeful OF fair spring
trade. The very bad condition Of the roads
has much 10 do with keeping back country
orders, and trade here Is not as good as it
would be in consequence, as many OF our
merchants and manufacturers are depend
ent almost entirely upon country buyers:
But while the general outlook ID not all
that could be desired, In some respects 1t Is
favorable. Business Is now being conduct
ed upon n legitimate and healthy basis,
confidence Is slowly but steadily being re.
stored, and credit strengthened.
BUTTRR-iS devoid OF any special features
worthy OF notice. The receipts arc fully
up to the demand-the inquiry is mostly

bling trade during the past week, and while
prices have undergone no change the mar
ket Is firmCr. We continue to quote at lac
for Ohio factory and l5c for New York. The
export trade has been quito active for a

without its efectin stitiening up the mar

that made out Of sprouty wheat-und there
Is good deal Of this on the markets.
dull and hard to dispose Of even at low
rates. Both dealers and consumers prefer
paying the difference for good stock, and
this accounts for the fact that while 1t is
held with considerable tenacity at full pri.
ces, poor stock is hard to dispose OF at
any price. Quotations, in jobbing way,
may be given rs follows:
