FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL


Portland Daily Wholesale Market.
PORTLAND, Mch. 25.
The movement in the general merchandise mark
cts has somewhat improved. although prices havs
not materially changed here. The Flour market
continues dull and on low grades there has been
decline, while all the leading brands are very firm
and command full prices. Hog products decid
ediy weak and quotations barely sustained. Beef
Ia steady and unchanged Raisins are strong and i,
some cases higher. Apples doing little BETTER
receipts light and stock has advanced
THIS New York Commercial Bulletin says of the
Dry Goods market: "Business continues moderate
with commission houses but the jobbing trade
steadily improving. Cotton goods were in moderate
demand at irst hands and prices all hrmer owing
to tho late advance in cotton. Prints are trife
more active and gin gh ms, wash fabrics and wors
ted goods arc in fair demand. Mems wear woolens
aud oakings remain sluggish. and hosiery and
knit unde wear are quiet. Foreign goods are quiet
with importers"
