September "a, 1875. !
After the dense toy, that greeted our
people this morning, had cleared away
the sun shone bright, and the day proved
as balmy and beautiful as May day.
Were it not for the continued drought and
the cyer-prcsent dust, the weather and
season would be considered delightful.
The market continues, like the dust, to
hold its condition with remarkable uni
forMity, growing no worse, because it
has reached the bottom. and improving
so slowly as to be scarcely perceptible.
There is some improvement to be noted
In some branches Of trade, among which
We may instance choice northern oats
scarce and in good demand TO fill orders.
Choice timothy hay, Of which there is
none in market, and bran and provisions
are steady and firm at quotations. Flour
Is full stocked and quiet with demand
principally for low grades. Meal is
dull and selling 15c on this week. Butter
is steady with plenty Of medium and no
choice in market. Eggs are scarce, firm
