CHICAGO Aug. G, 1870.-The hot, dry
weather was relieved by good shower, with
moderate lightning, last evening, and the
atmosphere is cooler this morning, with a G.
freshing breeze. But the ground is dry, and
many wells are drying up.
THE CENSUS,
40 far az taken in this city, does not Justify
the estimates made of the number Of inhabi-
tants The sanguine expected three hum
bred thousand, butt will probably be twenty
five or thirty thousand less But the pride
OF the city is sOothed by knowing that other
cities also fail to realize their expectations.
EFFECT OF WAR on THE FALL TRADE.
The diplomatic contest between France
and Prussia having resulted in war, we can
form some estimate of it's influence upon the
fan trade. It's first effect will be to quicken
our own industries, and improve the price Of
our agricultural produ is, thereby enabling
the producing classes to purchase large sup
plies. But by turning the productive labor
of Two great nations into destructive labor it
will lessen the quantity and increase the
price Of foreign goods manufactured for THE
market. And as most of our merchants have
purchased their supplies lor the next SIX
months, they will sell on a rising market
SO that on the whole We may look for an ac-
tive fall trade
DIFFERENT CLASSES OF GOODS.
There are certain classes of goods which
the people must have, such as boots and
shoes, clothing staple groceries, &c, the
sale OF which is les affected by HI I'd times
than others, such as the more expensive
STYLES OF house furniehlng goods, ana tho
finer classes Of crockery, china, glass ware,
&C., whose brisk sales depend upon the de-
gree of general prosperity, for they are lux
uries rather than necessities to the great
majority But when aesthetic culture be-
comes more general and perfect, the higher
faculties wil,~ demand qualification ~ much

which nourshes us. And the growth OF re
