The markets continue dull and lIfeless, and no
improvement is looked for before the first or sec
ond wees of the new year, but values generally
are on very steady basis, and the outlook for
business is favorable. Breadstuffs and Provisions
are quiet without material change in quo atlons.
Sugar remains the same, at &c for granulated and
6ysc for Extra G. In Produce, frmer feeling
prevails on the best grades of Potatoes, which
are quoted at about 75c in small job lots. The
receipts of Apples are light and full prices asked
for good stock. A cable to-day from Liverpool
