Nothing of Especial note has occurred in
the business of the city the past week.
Trade in all the departments has been un-
usually good for the season, and our mer-
chants are much encouraged. An early
commencement of the Fall trade is antici-
pated, which, with the prospect of album
dant harvest, bids fair to be large.
The Review of the Chamber of Com
merce is more full than usual this week.
and we refer to it for the particulars of the
markets fo4. this city. - ST
The full review of the New York marlSe cts
in our special letter from that city, which
we published yesterday, makes it unneces-
sary for us to refer to them to-day.
In Cincinnati the cholera has broken out
as an epidemic, and is having its effect
upon business. The Price Current says:
This causes some uneasiness and has its
influence on business, though there is no
good reason why it should, for the best
way TO avoid 1t is to assume an nncon-
SclouSneSS of its presence, and pursue the
usual business as if the disease did not
prevail.
The Commercial says: 8@c.s-Ha t-ait. e~A
1.-THE official recognition of cholera in
our midst will, in all probability, put a
new complexion on financial affairs Some
persons Will, doubtless, make changes in
their investments and arrange their mo-
ney matters with reference to a disturb

as Well as to a stagnant season in such
branches of trade as do not refer to the
palmer, immediate wants of the people,"
We are pleased to note the unusual
healthiness of our city, and to assure
country merchants that nothing like chol-
era has made its appearance here.
In Cincinnati the market for Wheat has
been very firm, with light Offering. al
though the demand has been only moder-
ate, and confined mostly to the local or
near-bymillers. There is more freedom in
handling new, though there has not been
much old on the market. Quotations are
still Quite irregular; those for new may be
regarded as governing the market. No. /
new Red sold at 81 %. Extra will not bring
more than 81 30, though generally held at
- %. New Hill is quoted at 50 4Oa2 As. and
White at 81 5O@2 50. --. -s.-,v5f' --
of the. Chicago Market the Republican
says:
The general markets for produce ana
merchandise continue dull and until the
harvest Is fairly over and the crops begin
10 come forward, we cannot look for any
revival in trade. The weather is unfayOr-
aaDde, anu although the wheat crop has
peen secured in the southern and central
parts OF the state, in the Northwest-loWa
wisconsin, and Minnesota-much of the
wheat mas not yet been cut, and a good
deal OF wheat is standing in the shock
The receipts of the new crop are still light, |
but samples are exhibited almost daily on
Change, and sales are making to arrive,
70 local mlIlerS, at full prices. The quail !
1Cy OF the new wheat is superior to any we |
have had in the market for several Wears |
past. sbIfo- i-f0r G96s- ~ = : |
The market Is unsettled, and pricessare |
irregular, and it is difficult to give any re- |
maple quotations. The demand is light, |
ana the sales to-day were entirely on spec |
uIatlve account-moStly to cover short con
tracts. Prices were higher than at the |
close OF the week, and advanced 667c per |
oushei, but the advance was not main /
There is no new feature in the Provision /
market of other cities, the market |
being nominally firm. We note sale in
Cincinnati of 200 bbls. Mess Pork for Terre
Haute at 81 so. The stock of Provisions is
running down in all the cities; in NewOr-
leans private dispatch reports the stock
u bdcOn exhausted.
The Secretary of the Treasury the past /
week reported a reduction in the Pub
lie Debt, during the year ending sAu-
gust LIST, of one hundred and twenty-four
million dollars, which, considering our
heavy expenditures, is very gratifying. 1t
Should be reduced at least 100000 900 the
next year.
Ii does not appear to be generally known,
mat under the amended Revenue Law,
since the LIST of August bills of lading and
receipts for property delivered, are exempt
rom stamp duty which include express re-
