is quoted at about ic, though it is thought
concessions to induce business have really
put the,price lower; refined sugars are in
small demand and llrm; ordinary careoes
Of Rio IRE quoted ut SIaS!c, with lew large

at regular rates. Receipts Of butter are
moderate aud about sufficient to supply
the local trade. In cheese the market Is
dull with little Improvement noticeable.
Tho boot and shoe trade is satisfactory
and there 10 is considerable doing
in all departments. Manufacturers
are in receipt Of large onlersat good prices.
The leather trade Is active in all lines.
Prices are firm and stocks are light; inst
about enough to supply current demands.
American pig iron continues firm, although
transactions are not large. In Scotch pig
iron there is very little doing, and light
business is reported. ~. s'n
