CHICAGO, Oct. IL, 1s70-Warm weather
continues and as yet no signs of frost. This
will compensate, in part, for the short bay
crop, and tend to keep down the price ol
fuel.
TRADE AND COLLECTIONS.
IL also tends TO delay the purchase oi
country merchants, and make collections
difficult. For the farmers who arc the maia-
spring OF trade and commerce improve this
good weather to do their falls work, aud
have no time to market the crops, aud con-
seqnently little money or leisure to purchase
supplies. But the country Is not oyerstOcked
with goOds-in fact is comparatively uUsJp-
plicd-and when cold weather comes and the
grain crop is marketed, there must be large
trade TO meet the actual wants of the peo-
pie. But perhaps the chief cause of the pres
ent dullncss of trade is the
Low PsIcE OF GRAIN
which indsposes farmers to sell. There is
an improvement in the grain market, which
stimulates both
RECEIPrs AND SHIPMENTS.

cHkRAcTERIsTIcs OF cIrY's GROWTH.
The growth OF city il marked by its pro.
vision for the comforts aud luxuries of life.
Its first settlers are usually content with the
mere necesssries OF life. But as wealth aud
refinement increases, better fare and more
elegant and costly furniture are required.

is marvellous. If q Rip Van Wrinkle among
the first sett ers could wake from his twenty
wears elccp and visit one of our first class
furniture houses, he would be as aetonishod

was when he walked to find new generation
risen mp during his long sleep. Representing
this class of houses, and typifying the growth
of Chicago, is the
