not disturbed over it as such is usually the
case after the middle of December. In look
ing over the business of the past year they
find but little room for complaint. In most
lines sales of the year were in excess of
those of the corresponding period in 1888, and
on q majority of staple articles steady and
better prices have been realized, and the
indications are that fewer bad debts have
been made. In groceries there were no
changes to-day. sugars, c~offees, teas and
canned goods all carrying a firmer tone. In
the produce market prices ruled weak.

and butter must be very choice to bring

is rather fiat. little doing. with unchanged
prices. The Hour market is more active,
and prices firmer. and on some grades a
shade higher. The millers are complaining
that they are making no money, but they
go on with the business after the old man.
