REVIEW OF THE LOCAL MARKET.

+ There is an improvement in all kinds
of business for the week ending today,
over the former.
REAL EsTArE-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 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.
In the grain market there is nothing to
note either in sales or shipments. The
trade is very quiet, there being but
very limited supply on hand in ware
houses and none to speak of being offered
for sale by farmers. In Chicago there
was little furry last Tuesday and We'd
nesday on the corners, for the purpose of
making an advance, which only resulted
in rise of two or three points. The effort
was fruitless and had no perceptable in
fiuence on the market worthy of mention
in wheat centers. The Chicago and New
York quotations are nominal as formerly
reported. May deliver at Chicago is
