COMMERCIAL
The country trade is still good There is little doing
however In this market from first hands, the election
| having diverted attention from business.
The only change worthy OF notice since the departure
of the last pony advance in butter, with strong de-
maud and liberal sale for consumption best lsthmus and
new Cape Horn Is selling at SOaSlc. The grain market
is irmer but not quotably changed. The export de-
mand for wheat is active.
