FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Review of the Portland Markets.


FOR THE WEEK ENDING MAY 22d.
The general tone of the market is sluggish and
goods sell very slowly Prices are dropping on many
articles and it is impossible to sell goods with any
activity when prices are falling. The continued bad
weather has very bad effect upon the country
trade and dealers send in orders to the Jobbers very
slowly. The dry goods market is fairly active and
prices are unchanged The money market is steady
and gold continues very low. 1t closed on Wednes-
day, May 22d, at $1.00a
Beans continue in fair demand at the prices Of

over than last week and the supply is improving.

ing to the large supply and we have reduced the
price very materially this week, Coffee continues
firm at unchanged prices. Cooperage is dull. Cop
per bolts show slight reduction in price. Drugs
and dyes are generally quiet. Duck is in fair de-
mand at last weeks prices. The fish market is quiet
and sales rather light. Flour is very quiet and
concessions would have to be made to sell large lots
Lemons are higher and quote at S45O95.00. Valen-
cha oranges are frmer and we quote at Ss.5O@90o.
Corn is gradually dropping in price and this week we
quote low 55c for lots. Iron is rather dull
and the prices on common and refined are reduced
&c. Lard is dull and prices are reduced slightly on
kegs and tierces Leather is firm and unchansedfa at
last weeks prices Lumber continues unchanged
Molassss is higher and the stock is very much re-
duced. Linseed oils are a little cheaper. Beef is
steady and unchanged. Pork is lower and we quote
backs at $l275@l3.25; clear, $12O0@1250, and mess
at $40 5O@11.0O. Potatoes are lower and we quote
them at 3O940c. Bermuda onions are now plenty

No Further Rioting-A Settlement Still

LONDON, May q There has been no further
disturbance in the strike district of Lancashire
and there is not likely to be any more rioting

abandoned. The spinner and card room hands
oppose ballot on the questions at issue, but
the weavers at Blackburn and some other
towns will vote tomorrow. At Preston the

thousands of weavers at Blackburn, believing
that the result of their voting will have an i'm

In the meantime, the strike is extending.
