LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade Quiet i'm Most Departments,
with Stenay Prices Ruling.

To saw that good business Is in progress would
be an exagge ration but TO say that in some lines
business shows Improvement over last
month or over the corresponding period last year
would be a correct statement. Dry goods houses,
boot and shoe men. leather dealers and druggists
are fairly busy for mdwinter period. Then
the produce merchants seldom buster in Feb
rualy than at the present time. Receipts are
large for this season of the year and there is
fair market for poultry, eggs and butter. Pro-
vision men have room for complaint. but on
Commission there is considerable grumbling.
There are now thirty-three commission houses
handling fruits and vegetables and like articles
against sixteen eight years ago and nineteen five
years ago, and with prices ranging low as
at the present time. the margin sales does not
afford the profit that will properly support so
many people. The seed. flour and hay markets
all active would be expected under
present conditions and prices rule steady and
