auring the mast week TO mar the excessive
suIIness Of the market. and business in volume
was unusually light in most departments Or
ders from the interior were very small. and OF
no Importance, buyers being very backward,
owing. OF course. to the closing Of
the month and the very unfavoraole
weather which has prevailed. The
activity with the 5obbing trade continues
more particularly for the dry goods depart
ment in the reception OF stocks OF spring
goods. although it is generally anticipated the
opening Of the spring season VIII be moch
later than usual. which Is attributed 70 the
very unusual weather Of the past winter. The
pIaDtiug interests have been materially re-
tard d by the severe winter season and the
rainy weather. the streams being swollen 20
