FRIDAY Oct. Sop NJ.
AS q general thing the merchandise markets have
shown a steady, gradual Improvement during the past
week. so that, though some Of the most important
commodities have been duh and declining all through
the week, trade a whole may be said to be mprov
ing while the prospect for the future is more prom
Using than it has been at any previous time perhaps.
In many departments of trade there has oeen further
shrinkage, and the general tendency, of prices
has been and still is toward lower basis,
regardless Of the comparatively high ruling of
the gold premium. Indeed, the gold premium
longer be regarded as the unerrng indication
it wont to be- for its ups and downs are appar
emily inexpicable, and they exert next to no in
fuence the merchandise markets.
The plentiful supply of nearly all descriptions Of
merchandise but especially of those commodities which
generally regarded the necessaes Of e would
preclude the possibility of very high prices and the
general tendency toward still lower scale of prices
cites surprise savein few exceptional cases The
gegato business for the past week is considerably larger
than last week in very many articles though in
the sales have been Disappointing In the dry goods
market fair has been in progress all through
the week. and the sales most of the large houses have
shown gratifying increase On Change business has
been somewhat disappointing especially to those who
looked for renewed activity and buoyancy in breadstus and
cxportabe commodities sl business has been fair
in OF the leading articles Flour has been in moderate
request but the business done presents very fair showing
nevertheless Wheat has not met with the active
demand which was generally expected, and only
moderate business has transpired from day

part though there marked decline
