Trade Conditions.

The week just past was a disap-
pVintment in u certain degree to tho
business ulen, and the dull season
that set in just otter the holidays Ia
still with us. n t*as expected that
as there had been considerable
advance In the price Of wheat, that
receipts would increase and business
brighten up cOrrespOndtngly. but 1t
is evident that the price has not yet
reached the figure satisfactorily to
those who have the bulk OF uh-
marketed wheat, for the receipts
were not more than up to the
average Of the past four ort five weeks.
The weather during that time has
not been very encouraging. being
for the larger part mild. and threat
ening to our small stock Of snow.
There arenO changes in quotations
except in wheat which has advanced
one cent over the prices quoted last
week. Butter and eggs arc both
likely to decline soon for they Are
now In very poor demand. at prices
lower than has ever before been
known at this season 81 the year.
