Year, with Firm Prices.
In most departments the trade of the
week ending March was the largest of
any week in the present year and the out
look for good spring business brightens.
Wholesale grocers, millinery houses, boot
and shoe men, leather dealers and hard
ware merchants all speak of business Is
Improving and say that the trade of the
past week was the most gratifying of any
week for some time. In prices fluctuations
were few This week closed with sugar
1sc higher and other staple groceries un-
changed In dry goods there were no
changes In produce eggs declined from
IS to II cents and shippers predict still
lower prices with genuine spring weather
Everything in the vegetable line is selling
higher than in March last year. Oranges
are coming in freely and taking the place
of apples which now in the luxury list.
Provisions are moving more freely than
at any time in months. The hide market
is quiet and seed market active. Agricul-
tural implement dealers report trade brisk
and in excess of March, 1894.
The local grain market was rather tame
the entire week. The bidding on change
was indifferent and little interest was

diseases to such climates. Thus, while ~
may be true that one attack Of malaria
predisposes to another attack, and long
residence in malarious districts gives rise
to malarious condition, there Is indis-
putable evidence for mcre or less immunity
from malaria being obtained by long resi-
dence in malarious regions. The negro IS
less susceptible to malaria than any otner
race yet IL requires a continuous abods
to secure anything like perfect immunity:
again, the American negro Is comparatively

wherever found. are comparatively exempt
