light, and on the whole disappointing. At Bos-
ton there has been a smaller business during
the week than for long time past. The re-
orders are not expected until settled cold
weather appears. An encouraging feature
is found in the fact that while the mills are pro-
ducing in excess of one year ago. no complaints
are heard, while early in November. 1884, there
were pronounced demands for n further restric-
ton of production. The demand for grocery
staples has been only moderate, with sugar and
Brazil coffee lower. Fancy grades of butter are
higher. Cheese is dull. with light export de-
| mand. Iron. steel, and coal present no new fea-
lures as compared with last week. Hog products
are higher ON better home and export demand
as well as In sympathy with the price of corn.
