Tha retailers are buying very conservatively and reducing stocks. This la wise if not carried too far. R tacks should b replenished often, with a sufficient supply of an staple to meet the increasing demand Thar is new no exens for extended credits, and a spot cash or lim ited credit basis ia a rule that is practically uni vessel. This enables the dealer to discount his bills- and to be prepared for any emergency. The delay and uncertainty of the peace con ference is reflected in, an unstable market in soma line that should show strength. A reces sion of price from present high levels is due and will oecnr in a normal and natural manner, accenting to the law, of commerce, rust aa soon as a "table peace pact is finally ratified and es tablished. Several lines of ' food products have already shown a liberal decline, notably beans, canned milk. Standard corn and tomatoes, but it will bo some time before values of ' groceries recede to pre-war prices, if they eve do. Opening prices wefe named en next, season' pack of pine apple, and also on asparagus, that were higher than last year., and the pack ia sold np. Price being paid in contract for green fruits indicate high price for all canned fruits and berries the coming season. Corn and tomatoes will be cheaper tlian lat year, but yet at least B0 per cent above the, normal value. If present, indication for bounteous crops at high Talus r fully realised, this year should b a prosperous one, and with tha final estab lishment of peace the wheels of industry will begin to hum and our brave soldiers will find lucrative employment as fast aa they ar re turned to their homes. , Those desiring further Information regarding msrkets should write the Ifsrket Editor, inclos ing stamp for reply.

Threats of government interests that huge im portations of foreign wheat would be brought to this country to stay the advancing prices in the United States seemingly have no effect either upon the price or the demand from tha eastern trade. It appears that while tlie price ot wheat in Australia is seemingly much tower than ik this country, tha added freight rate and cost of handling aa well aa the fact that th foreign wheat is inferipxto the American product, aa well a tb inability to gat foreign shipment at all promptly, gives the domestic grain th prefer ence on every aide.
