mand for most descriptions Of uerchan.
disc: The dry goods trade Is more moder.
ale than for some time past owing partially,
to unfavorable weather. Agents arc still
making fair deliveries on account OF buck
orders, but tho current demand Is limited
to \ supply Of immediate wants. The Job.
bing trade Is not animated and more
business is being done by mail and
telegraph than by personal selection. Do.
mestic goods are reported quiet all round.
Prices realized at auction were considered
fair, and silks; satins, yelvots and plushes
disposed Of in considerable quantities.
Lace aud millinery goods sales wcie well
attended and proved satisfactory The
grain market has been very strong nil
through the week, gradually advancing all
alongithe line. ln wool tho liue grades
are in good request, but lower and quite
neglected. In tie iron trade there Is ab.
solutely nothing Of interest transpiring.
Tho amount OF new business being done Is
very small most OF the products OF the more
popular brands being absorbed in filling
old contracts. Prices remain firm. In Scotch
i pig tir0n, business is light and only a
small stock on hand. Most OF the stock
ailoat has been sold. There is but small
inquiry for rails and prices are about the
same. I.....l,, EN.sI Tif,,r-g p
