MARKET REVIEW.

March so far has given an increase of
traffic in all lines over the corresponding
period of last year, and trade in general
has been quite satisfactory in compare
son with other spring business. Prices
are of an unusal character in merchan-
disc, save in staple groceries, as for in
stance, sugar advanced on half a cent
per pound week ago, but today is not
as firm and shows downward tendency.
Coffee is very firm, and an advance is
expected, owing to the unsettled condi-
tion of affairs in Central America and
Brazil. 1t will not be surprising if it
should be quoted several marks higher
at an early date.
In the produce market there is moth
ing worthy of mention as it is well sup
piled and prices are nominal.
The wheat market report are as usual,
week, with no encouragement for an
advance in prices, but on the contrary,
a decline.
The wool market is without interest,
some reports come in that the stock on
hand of last years clip in eastern
markets, has not been all sold and there
is no present prices given for the new
clip which will be of an excellent quail
ity, and much larger than that of last
year in our wool district. Present
prices are low, and as a last year buyer
said, will remain low, with no prospect
of a realization of last years prices.
Ourreview is unchanged in corrections,
as last weeks quotations contain with
the present. Eggs are little short of
supply, but prices are the same.
There is some inquiry for fat primed
beef cattle, also for mutton sheep at
former quotations.
