The Review of the Chamber of Com
merce which we publish gives the state of
our market In full. The business of our
jobbers keeps up much better than was an

Our extracts from exchanges gives the
state of the markets in other cities. We

Trade in all departments is in semi
stagnant condition over the entire country,
and particularly in this city, owing to the
" cholera, +" which have deferred country
traders from coming here to make their
purchases. Many of these have been con-
tented to supply their immediate wants
from the stocks of jobbers at some halfway
point. In the dry goods trade In this city
there was little more activity last week,
but the demand was irregular and the
volume of business very light for this sea-
son of the year. The stock of domestic
goods is not heavy, but as it is confined to
a few hands fears of forced sales are en-
tertained, and such, as a matter of course,
add to the prevailing depression.
Cincinnati has been visited with the
scourge in a more fatal form than any
other city in the country, and has had it's
effect upon business. Referring to this, the
Price Current says: e- et-
This adds to the summer dizziness, but not
as much as had been expected. The citi-
zens feel uneasy, but not alarmed, and

in our business streets, would suppose that
death was making such havoc in this city.
In some cases country people avoid coming

storm, which was very Injurious to the,
wheat crop, which is not SO forward as in
our latitude, and exaggerated accounts
gave rise to advance and speculative feel

Chicago Journal says:
There, is no doubt but that the reports
of damage done to the crops throughout
the Northwest by the late rains are greatly
exaggerated. This system OF croak1ng,

in the new Wheat as soon as possible and
get the present high prices. IT is all If not

Il In the Cincinnati Market, for several
days, old Wheat has scarcely been quot
able, as the stock of that which is
strictly sound is very light, and millers are
glad to work upon the new crop, which
