gained. Fluctuations were narrow, which
offered small inducements to the ordinary
trader to operate. Liverpool cables called
that market firm, but slow, with all upward

little is suitable for table use. The demand
is active and fine lots are quick sale at full

the neighborhood OF loo. Cheese prices
are quOtably the same. Twins are do

quiet. Eggs are a little inclined to scarcity,
