CHICAGO, Jan. 90. lS7O.-The weather f.,
the last two weeks, with the exception of on,
or two days, las been remarkably mild for
January, much to the joy of the poor, and the
regret OF the coal dealers. Indeed. the mile
winter. Thus far. has disappointed the calcn
lations Of those who have monopoly o.
fuel, and prevt nted the expected rise in Goa
and wood for which We are devoutly thank
full.
THE MONEY MARKET
here is easier, and responsible parties find
no difficulty in obtaining all the discounts
they heed Tor the ordinary purposes of trade
THE WHEAT MARKET

the fluctuations III price are such as to forbid
all prcscieDce OF the future. Nothing would
tend so certainly to infuse life into all kinds
of business as the permanent advance OF

It sells for lcss ths that, wheat-r asing is not
profitable business.
BUSINESS

season. Many of our largest houscs are get

quarters within few weeks.
