Business Summary for the Past


Business sum mary Tor the Fast
Week.
Nothing has arisen in the money market
during the week calling for special COM
ment. Bills on the East are in demand at
! 6@e per cent. for so and 90 days, but are
dull on New Orleans and nominal. L
Cncurrent bank paper is unchanged, and
the amount offering quite moderate. We
quote Missouri at per cent, and Illinois
and Wisconsin at / per cent, discount.
The weather has been all that could be
desired, for securing the wheat crop, and
there is no doubt that the great bulk of it
in all this region OF country, has been Sc
cured against the weather. With regard to
. the growing crops, it is unnecessary to par
ticularize, as the accounts from all the North
western States are uniformly good. In the
South corn has suffered from drouth, and
in Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas will be
light.
Flour has "broken down" badly during
the week, and the market has ruled, as
usual, quite irregular. There has been little
or no demand, and toward the close the re-
ceipts of new being rapidly increasing, hold
ers let prices down fully soc per brl, to in
duce buyers to come forward. Superfne is
saleable for October delivery at 81 so but
in view of the present state of affairs regard
ing the crops in England, spectators are
afraid to enter into contract at this rate.
Extra family, made out of new white wheat,
was offered at S. last evening without sales.
Wheat has been quite unsettled also.
Millers were holding back and not willing
to pay SI91 05 for the best red and white,
which are below the views of holders fully
) cents. At the clese a demand sprung up
from millers in the northern portion of this
l. ~, IL n
al TO- The market, however, is in n most
unsettled state, and cannot be depended on
for more than a day, just now. Corn has
been offered more freely and declined to
43c We understand that old corn is sell
ing on the Wabash at 25G30c.
Oats declined to 35c under large receipts
in the beginning of the week, but again ad-
vanced to BIC. Rye 75c. Barley nominal,
oothiug doing, and no demand sufficient to
establish prices.
Whisky steady at 7c all the week, but
closed dull. The receipts are light, but are
fully equal to the demand.
Linseed oil advanced TO CSC. but it is be-
ing imported from the East, which will pre-
vent any further: Improvement, probably.
The Provision markeE has been decidedly
stronger since our laA, and holders have
displayed even more independence than
usual. At the close, mess pork could be
bought only to q moderole extent at $40.
holders of the best brands asking SI9 25
and upward. Bacon was held at 94MII2
and l23, with a good demand for rib sides
at III. Hams scarce, and sugar-cured l3c,
whilst common canvasSed brought l3c.
Bulk meats in fair demand at 8G 1Oc, but
holders asking a shade above these rates.
Lard held at l3c for barrel, tierce and keg,
but l24c was the highest paid for the two
former. Keg dull-no demand for it, and
a pretty good supply in the market.
A good business doing in Groceries for
the season, at full prices. Coffee very firm
and in good demand. Private advices
from Baltimore last evening report an ad-
vance Of &c, prime Rio selling at l5c. Su-
gar in fair demand all the week, and mar
ket hrner, though prices are not higher
Molasses quiet at 44c.
Lard oil has advanced to 90c, with light
supply.
