cial and financial matters throughout the
country. .. ....... ..

Reporter, for the Chicago Beard of Trade,
yesterday, PM, will give some indication of
the state Of things in that Market.
The excitement in regard to financial mat
tiers continues undated and Eastern Elk
change is selling at SOS - cent for Illinois
and Wisconsin currency. The principal
Banks as well as nearly al the merchant lie
houses are regarded ai sound and in good
condition and but for the prccarious charac-
ter Of our currency we should be in most
excellent condition t. meet any emergency
which might arise
There is little demand for Provisions and
the market is dull ill.,.
Hogs are in large supply but the favorable
!uln in the weather induces holders to be
more firm, but buyers still insist on further
reduction. and all confidence in the market
seems to be gone.
The Wheat market was irregular, opening
at the inside prices it advanced to 73c for No.
2, and 75c for No. Spring, but soon de-
clined to re for No. and 74c for No. | 3D., at
which the market closed steady. -
Corn, Oats, and Barley dull AMI unchan-
ged. Flour dull and lower O.her articles
unchanged. Future prospects look gloomy.
