warm rains have been conducive TO the growth
OF winter wheat Sales Of British wheat were at

equal TO 9sHe. per bushel. The market has
been very dall aud heavy. Flour has been nov

as very slow, and yet the mills here are turning
out al that they are able and some are desrous Of
Increasing their capacity. Corn has been low er

Prime fruit. however. Is held az ~. 00If.50 per
box. Lumber remains very dull. the shipments
not amounting TO more than dozen cars per
day. There is very little doing in the lumber
camps and dealers do not seem anxious that
there should be much done for there were suffi-
cient logs Of last years cut 10 supply the market

about butter; packing stOek-whieh includes
everything below good dairy; inferior dairy

sells better now that colder weather has set in.
Dressed hogs are frmer aud fractiOnally higher.
