WEDNESDAY, Dec. 40 NJ.
The trade movement continued very moderate,
the funeral ceremonies OF the late Horace Greeley
engrossing large share Of the attention OF the
mercantile community, as the great loss to tho
world by the death OF the eminent journalist was
the leading topic Of conversation in business
circles as well as everywhere else. Comparatively
little attention was paid to business OF 'Change,
while, even there, not very much was DONE At
least one firm suspended business entirely and in
stead OF the our samples usually exhibited on their
stand portrait OF Mr.. Greeley, tastefuly draped
in Grape, was shown. Evidences Of the regard
in which Mr.. Greeley was held by business men
were to be seen on every hand. Trade circles have
neen quiet and steady since the uproar occasioned
by the great corner in the stock market subsidized
and nothing has since occurred to cause any un-
casiness; hence there is an entire absence OF ex-
element among the mercantile community, while
the markets rule quiet and steady throughout the
ramihcatiOns Of trade. The demand for flour was
lgnt. but wheat was wanted for shipment and
prices were higher, the market closing very strong
