LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
The Trade of the Week DisappOint
ing-Changes In Values Slight.

Like the first week of April, the second
weeks trade was disappointing in its vol
ume. Some genuine spring weather would
greatly help matters without doubt. In
prices changes were few and slight. Eggs
are l cent higher than week ago, poul-
try 1zc higher, and everything in the fruit
line is higher Irish potatoes are &c higher
than week ago. Oranges, lemons, straw
berries and new tomatoes all continue in
light supply and prices firm The light
receipts of strawberries are rather surpriS-
ing. Usually they are plenty by the mid
die of April and selling at one-half the
present figures. New tomatoes are in the
luxury list as regards prices, and the stock
arriving is inferior in quality Staple gro
ceries carry strong tone. There were
some changes in canned goods and dried
fruits, but of little Importance. Sugars and
coffee are firm and steady. Some descrip-
tons Of hog products are higher than a
week ago, with an active jobbing demand.
The seed men had a busy week.
The local grain market presented more
activity last week than for several weeks
past. The demand for wheat was limited,
but for corn and oats there was an ac-
| tive request, and all receipts were readily
taken at the range Of quotations of some

Wool.

BOSTON, April 1.-THE Commercial Bull
letin says OF the Boston wool market: The
sales for the week were 2,073 700 pounds do
nestle and $4,000 foreign, against 1,0S6. 800
pounds domestic and 205,000 foreign last
week, and 1,S42. 129 pounds domestic and 920,-
900 foreign for the same week last year
The total sales to date show shrinkage
from those TO even dates last year OF l3 $780,
600 pounds. The receipts similarly show a
decrease of > IL bales domestic and 9. 333
bales foreign. The market is a purely pOit-
zeal one. The majority of the trade believe
that wool VIII not be free, but they do not
dare 10 do business any such basis
Prices on ordinary fine and medium Terri
tory or any other varieties OF wool of which
there is plenty are fairly steady. but no
higher prices on fine delaines, all woods
of one-quarter blood grade and staple fine
Territory. The scarce woods, in short, are
in sellers favor. The feature of the week
is the changed attitude OF the great pulling
houses OF Swift and Armour They have
wired all buyers that their prices are up
lG2c on all grades on pulled wool The sales
OF medium unwashed combing have reached
362 600 pounds, with one sale of one-quarter
blood on as high secured basis 35c

WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW.
Henry Clews. in his special review of
operations on the New York Stock Ex-
charge last week. says.
During the past week Wall street has
lapsed into state OF comparative dull
ness In the absence of any important
OUTSIDE support ana with Iull IN trans
actions with London, the pools have tenn
pOrarily retired from active participation
In the market, and seem TO be waiting for
something to turn up calculated to excite
new interest. The causes of this lull in
speculative operations lie plainly on the
surface. The most obvious one is that
the gross earnings of the railroads con-
tinue somewhat below those of year ago;
besides comparisons VIII soon nave to be
worlds fair traffic Another cause of the
quiet on the exchange lies in the uncertainty
reau's April report of the condition of
wheat and rye IS very favorable, showing
the estimates OF year ago; but the great
storm of this week, covering nearly the
whole wheat area, has anected prospects
10 an extent which cannot yet be esti-
mated; and. until that factor is more def
initely measured, there will be an element
OF suspense in business affairs.
Perhaps the most influential cause Of the
prevailing dullness comes from the cOudi-
ton OF legislation in Congress. Tie tariff
bill. from having been apparently certain
OF enactment is now thrown into much
doubt IL is uncertain whether the Sen

whether the House would consent 10 the

a vote on the question before the middle
or May; and after that there is likely to
come a dilatOry dickering between the two
houses. Moreover. il is now becoming a
question among congressman whether even
the President might accept the bill, pro-
Vided II came 10 him with the income tax
clause annexed. Ii thus seems possible that
this measure may remain unsettled until
the beginning or middle of June. and there

sufficient basis OF probability TO warrant
the undertaking OF extensive operations for
the fall trade. and the business in manu-
featured goods must he continued upon the
hand-to-mouth scale from which trade has
been suffering more or less for tina last nine
months. IL remains to he sesn how far
public opinion will tolerate this trifling
delay. IL is but a game Of politics. and
largely a personal one at that. The peo-
