The spring season is sy far advanced that no
marked Improvement Is likely in the volume OF
trade until the new wheat crop begins TO move,
or IL ls more discernible, at least what the crop
is 10 be. The lumber trade in this city is better
at TINS time than 1t has been for several years,
and all the yards report an active business, and
the sales are made mostly for cash.
Groeers report sugars moving out reasonably
well, but prices weaker. Roasted coffees are of
4 of cent In regard to coffee, the New York
Commercial List says: '"Ths market has ruled
quiet and tame during the past three days, some
business having TRANSFERRED in spot invoices on
the basis OF 9Ssc for fair, but scarcely sufficient
TO indicate definite basis for valuations. There
mas been very little demand or inclination To
buy, dealers having abundance of stock to sup.
ply their present moderate requirements, and
the tone OF the speculative market being unset
tea ana Irregular. supplies, however, have
been steadily held, importers being unwilling to
accept bids on the basis of 9lsc for fair, espe-
cIally as current quotations here go much
below the parity of Rio. The spot supply in 1rst
hands is moderate, but secondhand dealers,
both hero and at the principal markets at the
West, are fully stocked. Cable advices from Rio
show much the same general features, and the
market there has undergone no radical change"
Inc produce markets are reasonably active.
Eggs are firm; however, the consumptlve de-
NJ and is less than for the last few days. Butter
Is slow, and even for the best prices weaker.
Prime Prime new cheese is moving freely, but poor
green stuff moving more freely, the higher tenn
perature stimulating the demand. The wool
market begins to brighten mp llttle; the new
crop comes in slowly, and prices tend little
stronger.
