1881 is quite critical and the indications are that
the crop of Wheat will not be over three-quarters OF
that of 1880. Sugars are steady to-day with good
fair demand at $3.50 for granulated and Sc for Ex-
ira G. Provisions steady and unaltered, except
Hams, which are easier at 1019911c. In Produce
we notice decided improvement in Potatoes the
demand for all kind is good, Early Rose being the
favorte, as they are in great demand for seed, and
the market is quite bare of this description. There
is also more inquiry for Apples and good Baldwins
sell quick at quotations. rough lots have been pretty
well cleaned up and the stock coming in is look
ing better. Choice grades of Butter in good demand
and command full prices Cranberries are general
ly in very bad condition and it is impossible to es
tablish reliable prices Maple Sugar is scarce and
higher, caused by the cold weather of late which
has stopped its manufacture Cheese is quite active
and advanced 1c to-day. Round Hogs are off and
selling at 7971ac. Poultry rules high in this
