The grocers arc raising prices gradually,

Fuels arc stronger with heavy sales.
Fruits nre plenty and stiff IN prices.
On Change events have not been nu.
merous or exciting, and, except In cash
oats, there has been no very decisive move
ment in any article. The general feeling
has been ono Of weakness, but in results
there have not been any material reduc-
ton OF prices, for what WIS lost rapidly was
rcgained slowly, and the figures prevailing
ut the close are decidedly firm There
seems to be q very strong combination
crowding the shorts In November and De-
ccmber, and us n result prices have nd.

They are considerably less than ycur ago.
Declining prices have much 10 do with the

many branches it acts rs stimulous.
The timely arrival Of large shipment Of |
coal from Pittsburgh gives relief TO many
manufacturing establishments us well ns to |
the general public. While the price OF coal
will not be greatly reduced, this heavy
stock will prevent extortionate prices, with !,

been fairly active. IE

woolen goods. The cold weather OF the

Grain has been somewhat singular in
