There i nothing new 10 note in the gene
raj condition Of trade since our last report
All lines are quiet, aud only enough l. dOinJ
j. to meet immediate requirements OF DEALER
T, in nearly all lines. There has already begun
slight movement in dry goods, which /,
} rather early, and dealers look forward TO
good trade in view Of this fact The butter
; market presents some peculiar feature.
which are noted elsewhere.
BUTTER-The local butter market. Will,
! little easier than one week ago, has steadied
| down TO lie basis for best Western
creamery lots, aud values are firmly held al
that point. Transactions, however, have
been on limited scale, aud nothing short
OF materially lower market would develop
an active movement at the present time
The speculative buying for storage purposes
which was so prominent a factor In the
market Of two aud three weeks ago, has en-
tirely disappeared, and a drop Of at least
cents per pound will be required to revive
activity.

Coal.-There has been no material change
N the coal situation the past week Receipt, {
II coal are liberal, but arrivals are sold
ahead, aud there Is none to speak OF coming
III the market Coal is scarce, and agents
have very little TO sell. There Is not much
demand, however, and business Is dull
ma is expected to continue so for the next
SIX weeks, but prices are being maintained
IN very firm basis. The dullness Is caused
by the fact that buyers stocked up quite
heavily some time ago fearing the advances,
ana they are not in need Of coal and have no I
room to store any more. There are rumor, l
abroad Of another advance Aug. |.
