COMMERCIAL MATTERS.
The New York Ereaino Post takes the posi.
{ ton in its money article that "there can be no
iuftner shocks to confidence, everything which
was expanded having collapsed and reorgan-
ization being in progress"
Inc shipments OF boots, shoes and rubbers
from Boston since January exceed those of
last year by more than Al, 00 cases, or nearly
10 per cent.
Among the recent discoveries at Pompeii is

A remarkable collection of short-horn cattle
is now attracting attention in New York city,
where they are awaiting shipment to England
10: breeding purposes. They number four
teen in all, and have been selected by compe-
tent buyers from every part Of the United
States and Canada at the almost fabulous cost
Of Sl25 .OOO They are the property
OF MI. George W. Fox, the foreign partner of
A. 7. Stewart, aud will be shipped by the
steamer Holland to England. OF the four
teen valuable animals three are from Ken
lucky, eight from New York, two from In
diana, and one from Canada. The two most
valuable beasts are from the celebrated plan
tation of MI. A. ]. Alexander, of Woodland
Park, Kentucky, and for them Mr. Fox paid
the sum of $4,000. One is q bull and the
other heifer. For the former $l2, was
pvid, and for the latter SIS 600.
The New Haven Courier thus describes the
meanderings of q check: sit WAS drawn by
prominent gentleman in this city about two
weeks ago for about $500, and was passed by
the indorser to q lumber firm in this city.
From thence it went to seven other concerns,
and finally found its way to the original
drawer of it The last indorser happened to
be one who was In arrears to the drawer, and,
the check had gone and the good it had done,
concluded he would do something hand
some to the drawer, and paid it over. That
check iquidsted several thousand dollars
worth of accounts"
Unemployed balances are now offered in
the New York stock market at lower rates of
interest than ever before known-day before
yesterday at one per cent per annum on stock
collaterals. Time loans are also offered at 4
<ns hall aG
the year. The latter offer affords ground for
the presumption that money lenders foresse
an extremely easy money market this fall,
and that for the next three months it will not
average above 2per cent,lnor above per cent
for the last three months of the year.
sassH Tho Sifnaiion in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia Ledger describes the state
of business in the Quaker City in very few
but forcible words:
In all legitimate business pursuits there is
continued dullness and distlust. From all
commercial circles comes the report of slow
trade movements and depression. The Sc
we're failures in London, the recent war be-
tween the Penn ylvania and the Baltimore
and Ohio railre ads, the troubles of other
railway corporations, the decline of earnings
and freights the long strike in the coal re-
gions, the small general business done by
merchants, and the uncertainty as to the fu-
ture Of business generally, these and other
incidents have severally had their effect on
the market and caused it to be let alone by
. large class of persons who deem discretion
better than speculation. Hence the stock
market has been sustained chiefly by men,
bers of the board and few capitalists who
have controlled prices for many weeks.
Foreign Crop Reports.
Saturdays foreign dispatches bring the
nc hat n IN q.
partments of France were in danger OF COM
plete destruction, were ct all events seriously
damaged by o general overflow of the rivers
The latest advices from that section Of France
spoke of the crops suff .ring from a protracted
drouth, the effect Of which was an advance in
the Paris wheat market Reports from France
of June represent the general agricultural
situation as by no means hattering, and this
last disaster must add greatly to the dis
couragement. .i ~ sA+
: In Holland, June 8, prospects were less ia
vorable. t
In Germany, June s, rain was urgently |
In Hungary, June S. weather fine and farm
ers hopeful.
In Roumania, June 2, weather hot and rain
needed. akE
In Poland and Bessarabia the wheat crop
has suffered extensively, but the limited Rus- |
sian, advices are rather favorable.
By far the greater portion Of Western Eu- |
rope, which comprises the leading wheat |
areas, makes much less satisfactory reports |
than formerly, and the large markets are firm.
These recent events may have an early lndu-
ence ON this side.
The etagnatisn In New York.
TIE Journal Of Commerce says: lowing
to our monetary system we are at Q dlsad- |
vantage with all the rest of the world, and |
New York feels it more than any other North |
ern city. Ten years have elapsed since tho |
war was ended, and our metropolis has gone |
back during the interval in nearly every form |
of commercial activity.
