btutIhi FEATURES are unchanged from tnOse
given week ago. The springlike weather
Is helping the dry goods trade, and there is
brisker demand from Western buyers; this
will greatly help our trade here in all lines
and the tendency is to better business as
spring advances. Crop reports from the
West are also more favorable, which means
steady market, with no perccptible change
In cereals and other products in the near
future. On the whole the market presents
no feature in striking contrast with the past
few weeks, although trade may be said to be
somewhat better
