Wednesday, December Q.

There has been no preceptible improve
ment in general business during the PaSi
week, and, moreover, II Is not likely mat
there will be until next month; The urain
and Flour markets present nothing new OF
imnortant while the arrivals continue
iigbt. The supply 10 ample 70 meet present
wants. which are small; no quotAble change
in prices, The Grocery markets continue
duff. also, with no important change in

Ing; prices unchanged at o0caSl per barrel,

lis.
BUTTER-There has been 4 steady and
increasing demand for good stock during
the week under review, but the common
and medium grades were very dull, with
the supply steadily accommodating and hold
ers are anxious TO realize; prices for the
latter grades are weak and in buyers favor.
The stock Of common Butter Is larger prob
ably than It has been at any time this year,
and, in consequence Of the low price OF
lard, which for cooking purposes largely
takes the place Of the former, there Is not
much inquiry for it; moreover, the eastern
markets are like our own, overstocked At Is

FLOUR-The general tone OF the market
is possibly little drmer in consequence Of
the scarcity and enhanced cost OF Wheat,
hut there has been no advance here Is yet,
and, moreover, the inquiry for some weeks
past has been for small lots; neither bakers
or retailers appear inclined 70 carry any
more stock than Is absolutely necessary.
In regard to the immediate future OF the
market II is well not TO speculate, as It is
impossible to foretell what u day may bring
forth, but the indications just now are that
there is not likely to be much change, one
way or the other. We continue 10 quote
