The receipts still continuing light, the
produce markets were again frnier and
higher. We still think, that IN view Of
the immense harvest realized in all por-
lions Of the country, the recent advance
IN produce is entirely unealled for and
extremely unfortunate to all legitimate
interests, being the result, as il was, OF a
spirit Of speculation which obtained tenn
pOrary supremacy ia the markets,
through the accidental falling off in the
receipts Of grain. The advance has exer-
cised = hanefuI influences upon the minds
Of country shippers, by inducing them to
bold back their grain in anticipation Of
q Still higher range Of prices, when the
fact is hat the advances is so purely arti-
dcial that it can only continue while the
receipts are light, and must Inevitably
give way whenever the dealers AID
growers In the interior begin 10 send
their grain forward. It will probably
require, however, the influence Of the
large receipts from Minnesota to bring
the grain growers farther south TO such a
realization Of the true tendency of the
markets az viii induce themt0 send their
grain forward literally. The prospects
are very fair that the market will not
feel this influence very strongly until
some time next month, as 3 fresh line Of
a" shorts" has been put out at each sGe-
cessive advance in prices, until It is very
probable that the wants Of the "shOrtn
interest will be sufficient to come near
absorbing AL the arrivals, and sustaining
prices above their proper level until some
In October, although something Of a de-
cline from recent prices is at any mo-
ment very probable, and q complete re-
action within the range of possibilities.
The New York TIMES Of Monday says /:
The trade Of the past week continued
to show a gradual Improvement in the
dry goods line, and vas active in general
merchandise. The general jObbing trade
will probably be distributed more equally
through the fall months this season than
last, owing to the fever at New Orleans,
Galveston, etc, which will delay the
southern business. The canal receipts
are not large and the export movement
Of domestic produce moderate. Most Of
the flour from the west is coming for
ward by rail, and the produce ef the
new winter wheat Is reported as very fine
in quality. The corn crop in the imp0r-
tant district Of the Wabash valley,
which was threatened with serious dan
ger from drouth, has been relieved
within a few days by refreshing rains.
The railway trsffick from other western
quarters is already showing a liberal
increase on last August and September,
from the results of the new crops, and
these are also telling favorably on the
New York branch lines, the gain in
freight on the New York Central being
over 500, 900 in August.
