for long time. Trade is good and movement
keeps steady and regular We quote Best
City Extra, a 25@i 50; medium, IS 5O@4;

WHEAT-The situation at distant centers
presents fair steadiness but there is nothing 10
warrant the presumption of increased activity
or better prices in the near future. As a con G.
quence the local market is more or less sluggish
shippers are in the market all the time, but they
| take matters leisurely and do but little sam
| ping. On the other hand it is to be remarked
| that sellers are not numerous, and stocks are
| not being pressed for sale. For ordinary ship
ping quality i 3l1 q ctl is the full buying limit
though better article will be taken AT 81 81 So

grades, paying as high MS 81 50 z ctl for sclec-

| The London circular Of Harris Bros. dated
| April 10Th says: " fer dry and sunny Easter,
| we have to-day cold northeast wind, with snow
showers. which it is hoped will soon pass off, as
warm showery weather is now needed for all
| interieIed with business in Wheat, but there is
very little alteration in prices since week
ago.

| FRulT-Apricots are in light supply, but do
| not meet with prompt custom. Cherries are the
| most prominent feature of the market at the
| moment, the receipts this morning reaching
| 2,i13 boxes. Strawberries sell well, as supplies
| are but moderate, not exceeding to-day 260
| chests. Raspberries come i'll slowly, and drag
! somewhat. Currants are also dull of sale
| though offerings are fairly ripe, but asking
prices are as yet too high to invite general con

BUTTER-The market continues in an I'M
satisfactory shape for sellers. There is surfeit
of stocks and ii is almost impossible to place
the bulk OF offerings at what might be deemed
reasonable prices Even brands of favorite
character are sometimes shaded to secure i'm
mediate custom, SO great is the desire of deal
ers to clean up consignments. Receipts promise
to be heavy for some time to come. We quote
