Teesiay Eve, Sept. :, 1850. J
The weather for the past week has been very
pleasant, at all times favoring Vegetation. Ths
nights have been generally quite cool. Tuesday
morning heavy shower passed over this section,
very edsc'aally laying the dust, AMI especially
bene6tiog the corn crop.
Business 10 rapidly improving. We may now
look forward confidently to . return of the days
Of 1896, when every farmer and business man had
all and more than he could do, and when = fair
show Of the essential" was obtained without any
extra effort. Our merchants have commenced
getting in their Fall stocks, and they inform US
that trade is first rate. Farmers are purchasing
literally, but they are investing in nothing but
what will be Of tangible benefit to them. We
have never seen as large ,tocks Of goods opened in
D .venport as now being uncasked and shelved
They have oil got to b, sold, and some Of them
will undoubtedly 60 very low.
In FINANCI Al AA1rERs ve have but little to
note. Our Banxers are doing very fair discount
business, confning themselves chiefly to produce
bills First cess city paper is done At ar figures.
The Exchange market is quiet, with . fair busi
ness doing. We quote:

In the produce market We have several impor.
t.nt cho rces IN note since our last weekly issue
The market has been very much excited, and
prices have materially changed for the better
Buyers have brought their shipping margin down
to nothing, seeming to have but one desi gn, and
that, to possess the grain. Wheat has advanced
from 6696sc to IS $50, and the prospects fais
for a still further advance. These prices arc
scarcely warranted, if We may take the state of
the Eastern market IS q criterion to 60 by
Onions are, also, . shade better. The receipts Of
wheat and onions, for the past week, have been
quite large-increasing from day to day. The
demand for Barley is increasing, and we may look
for an advance in that article. The market this
Fall is likely to be Auctuating one, but we think
il will all be for the benefit Of the farmers Below
