ONE increase in the demand for goods, the vol
ume of business is not large as usual, and
there Is an evident disposition to do something
to make goods move more freely; cotton fabrics
especially are easier. Wooden goods are also
moving slowly, and the tone of the market is
easier, II prices are not lower. The wool market
continues in an unsatisfactory condition; IN
fact, nothing is doing IN this market. East
ern papers do not talk very favorably of the
tracted the attention of manufacturers, ana
buyers have been more numerous. Sales, how
ever, can only be made at comparatively low
figures, and holders are quite Indifferent about
selling, as the usual reaction is locke for 0eIOre
the new clip puts in an appearance
The adviees from California state that the late
rams will delay the elm of that State, and it will
be later than usual. In San Joaquin more or
less shearing has been done, and also in the mid
die ana northern counties of the State, nut the
receipts at san Francisco nave been quite small
as yet, and nothing of any consequences has been
done. lnTexas and at other points South the
clip will not move much before May, and in Ken
lucky and other points West the season is likely
to be backward on account of the cold weather.
Ihe sugar market is firmer, with the advance IN
cottees noted Monday. The egg market is dull;
prices tend lower, and while the supply is by no
means large 1t appears to he in excess of present
wants, The butter market is also weak under
the influence OF increased receipts, and SILL
lower prices are looked for in the future.
The supply of Old stock butter is large and ln-
ereasing Fine cheese continues TO move freely,
and prices are firm as quoted Beans continue
dun and prices are weak. Dried fruits are not as
much sought after usual at this season of the
ateiy active In a jobbing way, but there is very
little inquiry for carload lots. Hay products
weaker, but in this market prices are unchanged.
With the advent of warmer weather there Will
be an increased demand.
GRAIN.
There was a little better tone to the grain
markets to-day. Bidding on Change was more
spirited, and dealers were cheerful over the fTl-
ture OF the markets However, until the pros
poets for this year are better dsseernable quiet
markets will likely be the rule. The Board of
Trade Price Current says of wheat: Under more
favorable reports from the seaboard and ffrmer
prices there, our local markets have toned up,
and No. red is lie better, with other grades and
futures In good request. Eastern points are all
frmer, and are showing some activity. Arrivals
are more liberal, and all around the condition is
an improvement over yesterday. We quote:

Corn, like wheat, is firmer and more active
Local consumption absorbs about all the arrivals
IN consequence of light receipts. Shippers are
going slow, AMI are not very largely in the mar

strengthened since opening. We quote:
