As nsnal at this period of the year the
general trade has suffered some diminu.

some departments active.
The wholesale trade has been fair, but
not so active as last week, the priuclpal
business now being done on orders, the
number of buyers in the market being fewer
tbau the week preceding. The demand for
staple dry poods has been satisfactory, but
purchasers are hsre rather with a view of
replenishing than superceding stocks. Tbe
wholesale grocery trade atems score active
