FRIDAY, Nov. 21-6 p. M.
the merchandise markets were generally firm
under fair demand while in numerous instances
trade was fairly active at improving prices On
'Change the markets were generally frmer, while
breadstu1s were excited by the freezing Of
the Erie Canal and the apprehensons that
business on the canal would have to be
stopped Tor the winter. Flour ruled firm with
a fair inquiry. Wheat was quiet and almost
entirely nominal, the few sales made afording
scarcely any criterion to the MARKET, as scarcely
any one would sell any considerable quantity ex-
cept at extreme prices. The market nevertheless
closed quiet. Corn was in very active demand,
part Tor export and part for speculation, and
large business was consummated at full prices
Oats were dul and at the close Of business heavy.
Barley was active, at a further material advance
Whskey was easier. Freights were tribe easier
Pork ruled steady under more active operation for
future delivery Lard purchased quito freely for
forward delivery. and closed frm Cotton generally
held above the views OF buyers. and business
seauently restricted.

been brought to his disposal.

Business is undoubtedly Improving,
and prices Of grain and cotton arc al.
vancing. There seems TO be an intui-
tive feeling abroad that the hard-pan
las been reached, SO far As business is
concerned. and disposition is manifest
ed to invest money in the great staples.
A month of buying activity will do
much toward restoring the eond ition Of
in:ncial matters in tho west to their old
lime strcns eth and tone, and rsanimats
many sad busiscss people with hope
and confidence. But graia and cotton
cannot become active and pass to higher
figures without involving . much trccr
use Of money in their purchase, for grain
dropped twenty 10 thirty per cent. per
bushcl during the past forty days be-
cause money was locked up, and the
number Of buyers became limited to
those who were fairly forced to buy.
The markets were quoted dull and drag
ging. Now the reverse is the case.
Cotton is higher and advancing, and
buyers are plenty and have the money
to invest. Wheat, corn, oats and rye
arc all higher, active and advancing, and
cash on delivery can be had without
trouble. Tobacco is looking up, and
will undoubtedly feel tho effect of the
renewed activity before another week
passes. AL this proves that confidence
10 in process Of restoration, that . gen
cral belief exists that tho bed rock has
boon reached, 80 far ~ prices of staples
are concerned. The banks will soon
feel the swell Of the tide, and will turn

to the conclusion that their party was
hopelsssly and irretricvably shipwreck-
cd, and had been cndsayering TO abaa-
don the wreck forever. But apparent
successes Of late IN Ohio,
Wisconsin and New York have cheered
them up and they hare again been ex-
aiming the worm-eaten, Democratic
hulk for the purpose Of making it sea-
worthy, if possible. Now they think By
putting in now machinery and dragging
her into safer channels, she may posi-.
bly, do good service, oven under her old
name. But can she pipe the old crew
back to service Hardly. Ill-treatment
has rendered them wholly indifferent,
and they will not readily return to their
old posts.
1t is indeed amusing te hear the Geld

good old Democratic days." Indiana

The result Of the election in Wlscon-
son was surprising and the Republicans
Of that State are completely bswiidersd
at the change. Two years ago Gov.
Washburn received majority Of 1881,
and the majority against him now is in
tho neshborhood Of lo,0oo-s change Of
$1,000 in very light poll. 1t is claim
cd that the main influences that have
worked this political somersault arc
two: The consolidation of the liquor and
beer interests of the State with the old
Democratic remnant, and the general
deafness of Republicans. Last year,
the temperance Republicans forced their
party to adopt restrictive Legislation as
party measure. This year, when the
measure was to undergo the severe trial
Of a popular vote, they, IN many cases,
held themselves aloof, and did not ap-
proach the polls, while they knew that
throughout the whole State tho liquor
interests were lsasued together 10 undo
the great good that had been accom-
rlished. No better man in Wisconsin
could have been run for Governor than
Washburn % it was not that he was
an Objectionable man that he Was defeat
Cd. 1t is stated that tho railroads Of the
State combined against him power
not in any way inferior in that locality.
The next Legislature will undoubtedly BE-
Democratic. As there 10 no United
States Senator to he elected in that State
this winter, the Democrats can make no
change in the Senate to their interest.

organs IL the State arc boiling over
