quent Fluctuations-A Proposed
Change in rading Affects

the Market.

/ unfavorable. European markets were dull,
! but export clearances were heavy. On the
other hand, a proposition before the ware
| house Commissioners, looking toward the low
| ering of grading, is having some effect IN tne
way of unsettling trade. 1t is difficult to lore
see, though operations lean to tns belief that
it would create lower prices. The market here
