MARKET REVIEW.
THuRspAY, April ,

THURSDAY, April z, lS92-
The wet, cool weather of the past
week has checked the trade of the city
somewhat, but for all that, business has
been quite satisfactory. There are no
material changes worthy of note, save
decline in -four and corresponding
drop in wheat. Portland's market is
very sluggish and a general complaint of
dullness for the season of the year.
In the grocery trade and general
prices there are no changes. Sugar is
very firm, produced by the combine,
and there is no telling what the result
will be in the outcome, but it is expected
that prices will rise higher than they
have been during the past few months.
The produce market is well supplied
with all kinds OF vegetables. New
onions, radishes, lettuce, spinach and
asparagus is in fair supply from home
growth, at reasonable rates. Pie plant,
or rhubarb, has made its appearance in
some of our fruit stands.
Eggs are quite plentiful at former
quotations. Gilt edge butter is in good
supply at 45@50 cents per roll. Pota-
toes are in good supply at 5000 cents
per sack.
The wool market is slumbering as
usual. Buyers are not in it yet, as they
say. There is no sale in Eastern mar
kets but disposition to let wool alone
for the present, as they are afraid to
touch it on the present uncertainty. 1t
is thought, however, that by the 1st of
July there will considerable activity in
the markets.

mer prices are maintained. Timothy
