REVIEW OF THE LOCAL MARKET.

AhCAO las Dccu DuI llIIlo cQdng0 III
the business tone of the city during the
past week. The farmers and outside
business people are too much occupied
in their various pursuits to come to
town, and consequently trade from the
interior is unusually short for the
season.
Money is close and tightening string
ency is manifest in all circles. The
credit system is being more and more
abolished among the merchants and the
pinching experienced in the east is being
felt more or less on this coast now. AS
soon as the wool clip begins to move
there will be an easiness in the condition
of all kinds of traffic.
REAL EsTATE-There has been more
inquiry for outside property and more
activity in inside or city real estate.
The first, second and third additions to
the city are attracting some attention
and it is expected that there will be an
active movement in those properties in
the near future. The transfers during
the week just closing have been in ex-
cess of a week ago, and our wise ones
predict very active season in city and
country properties.
The grain market is inactive, slight
advance is noted in this market, but
abroad, there is a steadiness and firmer
tone Chicago quotations for May de-
