produce has ruled very quiet during the past week

dnd dairy products have further declined. The
same may be said OF metals. including pig iron,
lead, lngot, copper, tin, and some of their manu-
lectures. Lumber and building materials are in
steadily increasing demand AS the season advances
and prices are firm. Anthracite coIl remains dull,
SO far as domestic sizes are concerned, but the
grades used for steam and manufacturing purposes
are IN denanI an hr,n. Wool is less a,tlve, with
continued liberal receipts of foreign and tue wants
Of manufacturers tenn orally supplied Hides and
Gather continue in good demani for seasonaole
consumption, and the m Irk 1t continues TO sustain
u previous rates.
Most kinds of manufactured gods continue in
fair demand for this stage of the season, although
he bulk of the spring trade in textiles from
d a. hands. Tne jioDing and retail distribution

If last month. Cotton goods are a shade easier in
'ympathy with the raw material. For the same
eason woolens are very firm and tending up, with
The mills under contract for fall goods to the extent

are placing liberal orders with manufacturers IN
anticipation of higher prices Later in the season.
