Business has been rather quiet In

days, but this is to be expected as a
general rule right after Christmas.
The industrial situation for this sea-
son Of the year is remarkably good
all things considered. Several manu-
featuring establishments have an
nounced engagements during the
week and the farming districts are en-,
joying a good market price for their
wheat.
Price changes have been rather few
considering the times of the year. Su-
gar is down another 10c and English
walnuts are up a little. There has
been some changes in the fruit and
produce poultry, dressed meat and
live stock departments also, but on the
whole the situation is very satisfac-
tory.
Provisions.
Butter-The market still remains
firm and the tone of the situation in
dicates an advance. There is a fair
demand but the prices remain the
same as last week in the local mar
ket; creamery, Csc and SIC; eastern,

There was no interesting features to
the butter market in New York dur

times there was not near enough of
this stock to supply the immediate
needs of the smallest buyers. Prices
remained unchanged to the middle of
the week. There was a material i'm
provement in the quality of the I'M

trade was slow on account of the high
prices ruling. Some advances in price
were noted on fancy grades of cream

very scarce and arrivals showed a ma
