market are asking higher quotations for
their goods, spring patents are quotable at
abou 30 to Cd as general range, but

BUrrER-We have had a dull and unset
tied market since our last weekly report.
Receipts have fallen off considerably and
the supply of strictly fine fresh creamery
has not been very heavy, but buyers have
been holding off and until today the supply
has been more than ample for the wants of
the trade. Prices fell of another half cent
early in the week. but without much effect
on the demand. The market closes with
| little better feeling, however. Buyers APP
pear to be satisfied that bottom has been
reached and are taking hol more freely.
The finest fresh northern creamery has
been selling since Monday at 211 Extra
western at 21c. for assorted and 201 to 21c.

WooL.-Sales for the week, 2 $50 900 lbs.
The business continues to expand, and
transactions for the week are the largest
since August. Not all members of the
trade. however, have been participants in
the revival, IL so it can be called The ma
jority OF them have sold only small lines
and not many OF them. The general mar
ket is, therefore, still quiet, and the out
look is not more promising than previously.
} Still the election draws nearer, snd every
day now till November will be considered
as so much gain, for not one in the trade
but expects better demand and frmer
market after Republican success, the better
prospect for which makes much cheerful
talk in the wool district.
LUMBER Late advices from Bangor cor
roborate all that has been said in our two
preceding reports as TO the changed aspect
} of the market for spruce lumter. From
New York orders continue to arrive at the
mills in satisfactory numbers, aud their
} execution will afford ample Occupation for
some lime to come. From almost all quar-
ters, indeed, there is d good steady demand
based on natural normal conditions, and at
the moment prospects for IT'S continuance
: are generally deemed cheerful.
