THE COURSE OF TRADE.
Situatj On of the Money, Railroad and
Produce Markets Yesterday.

characterized Dy the usual QuleC III Du>lneS
that surrounds the holiday season and littlei
left to do more than to gather up here an,
there the fragment of changes in quotations
Drugs and medicines appear to keep up rathe
better than any departments of business. Out
side of this line there is the usual falling of
in the balance of trade. Owing to the change
in the weather from mild to cold, during tn
first part of the week under review there was
| little squirt of business in fannels and heav,
goods generally but the cold weather has no
remained but rather given away to mildness
| and consequently the trade in that line tina
was looked for has not resulted in much in
crease.
The money market is reported rather close
and borrowers are not without trouble in OBJ
tanning all the money they want. Outside pa
per Is not in much favor and regular custo
mers are kept down SO far as possible to GER
tain limits. The cemand for money is without
abatement and it is expected that from this
time till spring it will remain the same
Dry GOods-No changes In quotations are
made this week, and business is perez tIbly
easing up.
| In groceries few changes are noted, but
none of much Importance. There is slight
decline in ctron and also in fish, otherwise
quotations remain the same.
In drugs trade keeps up remarkably well for
| this season Of the year. Oil of lemon has de-
clined to $S.S5 and quinine has advanced to
| 50 IS.
In hardware the tendency is still to advance
prices.
Iron and steel are still unchanged. 1t is ex-
pected though that before many days quota
lions will have to be overhauled In this line,
as the Pittsburgh iron manufacturers will
hold meeting to- day for the purpose of con-
sdering what, if any change. shall be made
in prices. 1t looks as though there would be
an advance.
In boots and shoes there are no changes to
note this week, but next an entirely new price
list will be given.
In regard to leather and findings prices are
steady and trade is light.
