Little new to report The plague sit
uation is not very favorable. Our re-
port for the past fortnight is nor of
such a nature as to cause either alarm
or extreme feelings OF any kind. The
voume OF trade shades slightly In a
downward direction. The falling of
since our last report not being OF suf-
fcient magnitude to be noticeable gem
orally. February Is always a slow
month, but at this time new causes
seem to have been at work.
The plague hanging on with grip
of vengeance. an unusual tight money
market, and assessable stocks weak
with a downward tendency, have made
conditions harder than ever and fail
ure to meet Obligations has extended
to those who hitherto have found no
difficulty In satisfying creditors.

such articles as will stand fumigltion
for shipment, but a radical change
must take place in quarantine rsgula-
lions or serious results will follow in
commercial circles.
New schedule of local lumber prices
takes effect March 1st, with further
advances. A slight decline in feed
stuffs is noted. Rice. 619, with up
