number Of business men who 90 into the
country ON Friday and Saturday and return
on Monday and Tuesday makes itself felt in
trade circles. Warm weather yesterday and
also to-day viii cause harvest work TO become
general. Fruits are ripening very fast. 1t IS
claimed that the receipts of the earlier yarie-
ties, which have been riTening slowly, viii be
very large, owing TO the fruit being forced to
maturity by the present warm weather. If
this opinion proves 10 be correct then we are
liable to have a temporary glut of Apricots

be gone. In cereals trading was slow to-day.

sales are reported to have been made in the
interior. The money market is reported dull.
