WEDNESDAY, June 10, 1875. I
We have arrived at what is usually
the exceptionally dull period Of the year,
and business is dull in fact. The croak-
ing heard on every side is not without
cause. Notwithstanding prices of almost
all articles OF merchandise is lower than
before the war, the bottom seems not TO
have been entirely reached yet. Mu-liEs
are lower than they averaged in gold
times calicoes are lower; teas are lower;
sugars and syrups are as low; 50 Of flour;
so of everything required for TODD and
raimaut except, possibly, meats.
The only thing that is high is
labor. That article has pretty
well maintained its initiation prices. This
is an anomalous condition and cannot
last. All dealings must be adjusted by
one scale. The old gold prices Of the
times of economical habits and simple
living, can not obtain IN articles Of mer-
chandise and the initiation prices Of ex-
travagart war times be maintained in the
article of labor. When the equilibrium
of prices, so to speak, is again restored
the machinery Of trade will again move
smoothly.
We have no change to note in the
quotations Of grain and flour. In the
after article there is Il fair business and
the feeling is firm; but there is nothing
doing in grain. Farmers don't seem to
have any to sell at the present prices.
Teas are very dull and lower Sugars
show slight decline. Provisions are
without change, and without animation.
Butter has gone down to the bottom
being worth but lac to lSc.
In wool there is no movement al all.
The prices offered are still 43@4jc, but
farmers know that it is an article that
will keep, so they are not anxious 10 sell
at these figures yet
The weather continues seasonable for
grass and wheat. Crops generally prom
ise well.
Wemay fairly expect Summer Of
unusual dullncss, but there appears no
reason why We may not justly anticipate
an active and prosperous business during
the Fall.
