Trade Is improving with the leading
staples in very much the same state Us
heretofore reported. There il a steady
though not a very brisk movement in flour
produce, groceries and provisions, while
grain and some lines ofgeneal merchan.
disc are rather quiet, In grain the receipts
OF wheat and oats are liberal, and prices
are easy. Flour is firm, with old wheat
brands scarce and in demand. Produce
shows no decided change. The receipts oi
fresh fruits were not large to-day, but there
was fair supply of nearly ali staples at
easy. prices. Ei msg

little or nothing doing. We quote White
Navy at 81 70.

choice table grades, and fresh receipts oi
the best quality are readily sold at quota

main dull and depressed. We quote choice
