Business Sumnnar of the Past week.
The demand for money diminished some
during the week, and the market has been
quiet and easy, with an increase III the
amount of capital seeking investment. Tie
rate for frSt-class paper is 10 per cent, 1T
which rate all the acceptable paper offered
to the regular houses is taken.
Exchange on the East and South has ruled
rather easier with falling off in the de-
mand. The market closes quiet, and sight
checks on Boston and Baltimore in some
cases do not bring over 35c.
The offerings of time bills are light, and
Eastern are taken at COS per cent. per an
mum. Western uncurrent money is in
good demand at l dis. for Missouri, and
l!@14 dis. for Illinois, Wisconsin, aud
Iowa.
Corn is doing very well, and oats, grass,
and, in short, all the growing crops except
wheat, promise a most abundant yield.
Barley is being harvested generally
throughout both vallies of the Miamies, and
the wheat is maturing rapidly, and we are
informed some has been cut in Clark coun-
ty, where the crop is very good. Samples
of new barley and wheat have been hand
ed US since our last and both look we'll.
We have nothing new to communicate re-
garding the wheat crop; it is now beyond
the reach of rust, in the Ohio Valley, and
the probability is that it will mature in
prime condition. In this State, Indiana,
Western Pennsylvania and Virginia, the
crops will be fair average, and that of
spring wheat i'll the northwest looks well,
but we hear of nothing to change the report
we made in the middle of last month, re-
garding the crops of winter wheat in all
those States south of the Ohio, and west of
the Mississippi and in sections of Illinois
and Indiana.
Flour and Wheat have been exceedingly
dull during the week, and prices have been
very irregular, and for Flour 25G135c per
brl, and for wheat 10@l5c per bush lower.
During the entire week prices have been d
little better than nominal, and the only
thing which prevented a further decline,
was the fact that holders were not pressing
their stocks on the market to any great ex-
tent.
Oats opened dull at soc, but closed at 40
Corn unchanged. Rye dull and rather low
er. Prime fall Barley anxiously sought
after at 85c, the lower grades not wanted
An active demand for Barley Malt, and
large sales have been made within the week
at 81.

ing one of those breathing intervals so Pc
culiar to it this season. After little ad-
vance the demand fell off, and buyers and
sellers came to a pause, and in commercial
grammar have been resting on their oars.
The latter maintain their frmness and
the former their caution. The business done
| during the week, has been quite small, hard
| ly enough upon which to hang quotations.
There has been an active movement in
Sugar during the week, and prices are 4c
higher. The demand has been chiefly from
the city trade, though good deal has been
taken for the interior. The stock is light,
and, with many houses, not more than
enough to meet lheir current demand dur
| ing the coming two months. Coffee very
scarce and &c higher. Moasses firmer and
a better demand. Whisky declined &c, and
closes dull.
