ness since last Thursday are impercepti.
BILE. The weather has been very un.
settled and uniAvorable, to which, pos
sibly. some Of the duIlness that exists In
81 branches mag be attributed; and many
are anxious to believe the clements the
cause of it all. while "they chew the cud
OF sweet and bitter fancies, and wait for
better days.
In the -four trade everything is very
quiet. The commission houses and mills
are all we'll supplied, and both the local
and shipping business is very light.
There Is very little doing in the hay
market, but few cars of choice or good
mixed would not come amiss for the To-
cal business. The inquiry for corn still
continues pretty active. There is little
coming to market, and hence the supply
is light. Prices are firm. Oats receipts
have also been light, and the supply is
limited, with very fair demand. Meal
and bran are duh. The supply of butter
is only moderate. The demand is fair.
Eggs are scarce and in good demand
Poultry Is in active demand. There Is
very little in the market. Vegetables are
very plenty and dull. Raspberries are
coming In more freely. but the prices are
still high, and they do not sell as rap
idly as they would were shippers willing
10 take reasonable prices for them.
