Commercial.
The grain trade continues quiet, and the re-
ceipts are largely in excess Of the demand. Arri-
walls Of wheat at Georgetown for the past two
days $500 bushels. Sales to-day at the Merchants
Exchange of only 1,75O bushels at sI.a9l3O.
The jobbing trade OF Washington has uader-
the year. Many OF our dealers who formerly re-
lied entirely upon Baltimore for their stocks have
given our Washington merchants trial, and ha7-
ing learned by experience the personal advantage
Of supporting home Institutions. are making tall
their purchases accordingly. A dealer can carry
Q family supply business with q much smaller
capital by adhering to this rule, from the very
fact Of the speedy deliveries, which enables him
to keep on hand smaller stocks. We have pre-
viously shown that the prices paid for most goods
In Baltimore are fully as high after adding trans
portation rates. If our retail merchants would be
more selfish in the matter Of this home institutiOn
business they would cause the retention Of q vast
amount Of money in the community, which would
circulate In the channels Of trade by the more
lavish expenditure which would follow, and find
its way to their own Golfers in the end. We
and job6ips trade viii have reached the proper.
tons commensurate with the commercial facIli-
ties and size OF the city.
