age to grain EXPOSED to the rains, have seldom had
greater confidence in the resources of the country

Lawrence LII sheetings have been marked up nc,
and dry goods prices throughout are firm. Groce-
des ars steady. Castsr oil and spirits turpentine
are higher. The discount on window
glass has been lowered to go and per cent White
