| WHOLESOME few parcels Of Spring have been sold
recently and there is occasional inquiry for free
or light Fall, but the stock of this latter kind is
limited and it is difficult to get such parcels as will
fill the demand. There is on the whole very little
business doing, and We hear of no change in prices.
