Commercial Summary.
The commercial news upon the whole,
exhibits no improvement. The produce
markets are fairly supplied, but the de-
mand for most articles is inactive.
The cotton trade is languid; but al
though sales are limited, prices have not
given way.
In breadstuff's great firmness is exhibi-
ted and higher prices have been paid.
A moderate amount of business is re-
ported in cured provisions, at steady pri-
ces.
Advices from manufacturing districts are
unsatisfactory. At M anchester there IS
not much business doing in either goods
or yarns, but manufacturers are willing to
sell at lower prices.
The metal trade is in a healthy state,
and fair business is done at fair prices.
The Potato Desease, Ect.
The unfavorable reports of the progress
of the potato desease has been the chief
cause of this reaction-Indian corn being
little dearer.
Up to date no very large supplies of home
wheat have found their way to market, but
IN week or two the farmers will have
more leisure: and it will then be seen
whether the late improvement will be
maintained. Every thing depends upon
the extent of the injury which may event
ually happen to the stock of potatoes.
The Grape and Hop Crops.
The vines in the South of France have
suffered very seriously. The Hop pick
ing in England has proved a disastrous
one, and great effort is now being made
by the growers to procure relief from the
Government.

A most favorable change has taken place
IN the mortality from cholera Throughout
England, and the number of cases has de
clined about half. From the commence
ment of the epidemic, 1887 persons have
been swept away.
The cholera appears to have permanent
ly diminished in Paris.
IRELAND.
The Potato Blight.
The Potato desease is, without doubt
extending into several districts in Ireland
and the low prices of potatoes is attribute
BILE in some degree, to the alarm of the far
mers, who are anxious TO dispose of thei
crops; but the disease is very partial, an
some kind of potatoes are not at all affect
edit is only in very slight degree i
some parts of the county of Clare. Fo
instance, at Milton and Mulberry the bligh
has not appeared.
DearM Of Political News = Cholera q

write.

ges at Trieste.

OF the siege OF Comorn, now regularly e
