Tne general condition oftrsde is rather
O. / Some of eur merchants report
t.,r weeks business while others say it
has just been moderate.
Just now there is unusual activity IN
wheat, as compared with some weeks
back. Our millers report great deal
arriving from the country, and account
for it in this wise: that the farmers are
through planting and have time to mar
ket what is on hand. Besides the indica-
tions are that the coming crop will be
fair average one at least, as wheat looks
very we'll in the valleys and, with some
exceptions, moderately so on the hills.
The disposition to realize on the part OF
the farmer is not confined to our locality
alone, but is pretty general. The result
is, there is slight weakening OF the mar
ket and decline Of sc on old wheat is
noticed.
The fine growing weather has its effect
on green stuff, and prices are tending
downward. Our quotations for the same
are the outside figures, and by the time
the market is reached prices will be much
lower.
The wool market is very quiet, but As
the new clip is beginning to come in
those who have any are desirous OF know
ing what it will briRg. Messrs. HorA-
helmer 4 Co, bought their first lot of the
season, yesterday, of unwashed w""i at
2Oc. Messrs Ii. X. List Il Co, have
bought several small lots for which they
paid 24c, and washed at 35@36c. So that
the market here can be said to be fairly
opened ut those figures.
Butter and eggs are lower and demand
lighter.
