Trade Prospects In Cincinnati,

The same want of faith in the future of
trade generally. which we have noticed
heretofore, still continues to exert a de-
pressing influence on all departments OF
trade Purchases continue to be made Of
ali articles under protest. IL We may use
the word. and therefore sales are of a retail
nature. Prices OF breadstuffs and provis-
TO have no more confidence in prices than
those who do not hold; SO that the market
has nothing to support IL; and yet there Is
a good consumption going on. as the ex-
ports indicate, beyond doubt. .-.
Money continues abundant, but there Is
SO little legitimate demand for IL that
there is a very large amount of idle CAPT.
taI which leads to a constant demand for
Government bonds, and this Is the cause
of the advance in them. eaTB a~fiZG
