Whisky is the same as a week ago.
Coffee is unchanged. Sugar and mo-
lssses rule in favor Of buyers, some
classes being a fraction cheaper. In
-four no change is reported, though
the tone is depressed. There has
been no material change in the value
o wheat for more than four months,
the ruling quotations being from 95c to
l0lc per bushel since July last. The
receipts Of produce have been fair the
past week, but the demand has i'm
proved, and potatoes have all been in
second dealers hands for several days,
and prices are better. The same may
be said Of onions, though the demand
is but little more than local for this
esculent. Butter is cheaper and
poultry ditto. Live chickens have
ruled depressed, owing to free arrivals
Of dressed. Game is in demand and
finds ready sale if in good condition.

low as 26c. There is no change in
