buyers have hampered trading in the dry goods
market this week. The movement of spring goods
has been generally light in all divisions, but
have done we'll Except in wooden goods, the de-
mand has ruled light In these the buying has
been stimulated by the stormy weather of the

make those buyers who in the market more
anxious to secure goods. In cotton goods the de-
mand has shown great laxity. Brown cottons are
dull locally and the demand Is an unknown guam

active demand. Manufacturers are reported firm

were busy yesterday, Grocers, dry goods
merchants, druggists and in fact in nearly
all lines there was an improvement in
trade and prices rule unusually steady and
firm on most articles. On Commission row
there is a good demand for Irish potatoes,
cabbage, apples, oranges and bananas are
in good request and where the fruit is real
ly choice good prices are obtained. The
produce market is little firmer, but not
quotably higher. Receipts of eggs are large
for the season, while they are in light
request East and holdings of butter are
large. Receipts Of poultry are not large,
neither is there an active demand except
for chickens and prices rule weak.
The local grain market is more active
on increasing receipts. Track bids as re-
ported by the secretary of the Board of
