LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Week of Disappointing Trade-Too
Much Rain and Bad Roads.

The week closing yesterday was not very salts
factory in it's volume of business. Five stormy
days and mud nearly hub deep in the country are
not just the conditions stimulate trade in Janu-
airy. Grocers, boot and shoe merchants, leather
dealers and iron stores had fair weeks business
and on Commission row much duller weeks have
been experienced. Steady prices still continue
feature. In no line has there been any sharp
fluctuations and nearly every article that comes
into general consumption carries a firm Tone
This remark VIII apply to staple groceries, drugs,
provisions hides, leather produce, fruits, and veg
etahes A belief prevails that under favorable
weather co--itions trade will be highly satisfac-
tory.

Dry Goods.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Generally hopeful condi-
tons mark the close of the present week in dry
goods. The last six days have shown a turning of
the tide in favor OF heavier buying and better
price conditions. In wooden lines-the trade has
been well sustained and gives promise of being
expanded materially in the future. Heavy
weight goods in the new styles have generally
moved easily and at fair prices. In staple cot
tons the strikes now declared. while deplored by
the manufacturers. looked upon by sellers in
the local market being of decided advantage to
the market. Generally speaking, they will bolster
up prices and sellers believe that with heavy
demand to come later buyers will not be unwill-
ing to pay better prices than those now prevail
ing Both brown and bleached goods close the
week with dull and weak conditions prevailing
There is a very slight gain in the demand for
export goods, which, it is hoped, will expand
later. Coarse colored cottons are featureless The
weeks trading in print cloths has been light.

Shrewd Tricks Of Smngglers.

Some OF the shrewdest tricks ever
played are By the smugglers OF opium.
said H. \. flaming. Of Seattle. very
unique smuggling scheme was unearthed a
few years ago by United states secret
service officers in North Dakota. IL was
noticed that an unusually large number
of cattle were being driven across the
line TO the North Dakota markets. and
the secret service men planned an IN
yestigation. For some time their work
was i'm vain. and they had about given
I'D hope of discovering any unlawful ope-
rations when an accident revealed the
fact that the nOstrils OF the cattle were
stuffed with opium wrapped carefully
I'm tin foil. In this way each steer was
worth twice its normal value. Hundreds
upon hundreds OF animals had been driven
