Poultry-The demand for live poultry has
been moderately active only, and the market
continues tame. Dressed continues firm on
turkeys, with an advance on fine, but
all other kinds barely steady.

The provision market showed good degree
of vitality to-day and prices are firm.
In the department of grain, corn is reported
firm, active and advancing. The Board OF
Trade Price Current of to-day says:
The reported sett ement of rates east has in
fused life into trade, given tone to the markets
akd a feeling OF relief to dealers. They have
now a basis for reasonably safe calculations,
provided rates are maintained and no private
cuts are given. Under favorable circum-
stances we are safe in predicting for the COM
ing summer the largest grain trade
had.

The New York Daily Bulletin of Monday
says:
nc very positive change seems to be devel-
oped. Some few dealers have met with q fair
sort of business, but the general demand failed
to show good, healthy tone OF volume, and
the market is not brilliant one by any
means. There does not appear to be any de-
c'ded complaint among buyers at the cost of
supplies, and the apparent Indifferent demand
Is evidently the result of the want of use at
present for larger quantities than are being
handled. Some hopes are entertained of an
early increase In the production of goods, but
until the necessity for this absolutely presents
itself, man ufacturers are not likely TO handle

The general merchandise markets are CIV
ing evidence that the spring trade is fairly
under way, and the outlook is cheering for an
average business. In provisions we note a
strong market with limited demand.
Advices from other points are encouraging
for holders and remunerative values are
looked for. The New York Daily Bulletin of
Thursday says:
On the general market for the hog product
business has continued slow and void of excit-
ing features, with the line OF fluctuations in
prices comparatively small. Yet on the whole

been sustained, with a few showing a small adj
