The Markets..

In Nermoni-At Vergeunes, Saturday, there
was n dull feeling in the butter market; the
disposition seemed to be to keep inside OF 22C

about rs follows: Fair lSc; good 20 a &c; fancy
lots 23c. At st. Adams, Tuesday, In butter the
general price was 20 TO % cents per pound; a
few fancy lots at u higher price.
Iiost n Wool-1he demand for wool continues
quite moderate, and manufacturers coniine
purchases to immediate wants. New wool is
quiet, and the movement in san Francisco and
Texas is quite limited. The goods trade is
unsat siactOry, and this Is the great drawback
TO Il more active trade. Prices remain u%nchang-
ed. The sales of the week have been l,300,0 900
lbs. of NIL kinds. We quote sales of ONO and
Pennsylvania neeces, at 40 a i2c for y, ~ a
43c for XIX, and AZ a 44c for AA AID above and

peculiar heat action it warns the air of
