The drift of the local traffic for the last
week has, upon the whole, been not unsat-
isfac.ory. In fact there has been an in
crease of the trade not only of May over
A pril, but the volume of business is greater
than this time last year. The demand in
the wholesale trade has been fair for the
eason, and the trade healthy and on a
solid basis. The wholesale trade of Aus
tin is not only holding its own, but bids
fair to largely increase when the fall bust
ness sets in. The retail trade is better
than week ago, and there is nothing in
the situation to justify anything but the
most cheerful snticipations. The wool
business is now leading feature of this
market. The receipts so far amount to
100000 pounds. Butter is unchanged
from last week, and eggs have suffered
etil further decline.

STOCKS AND BONDS.
New York, June 4.-The stock market
to-day was extremely dull, transactions
recorded being the smallest for full
days business in some weeks. The list
as ruled presented firm front, but the
absence of any particular demand for
stocks encouraged bearish traders. The
majority of the list is slightly lower to-
night. The dullness affected trading in
railroad bonds, although later made a
showing in stocks. Government bonds
dull and steady. State bonds entirely
neglected. The following were the closing
prices bid:
