review Of the commercial situation for the week
ending with to-day reveals a more hopeful and
cheerful feeling as pervadng trade circles generally
than AZ the close of last week if not at any previous
time this season. The drives which have been
made at various styles Of staple goods have undoubt
edy stimulated an activity in the dry goods market,
which, if maintained during the remainder of the
season. will prove standardization Ofthe future.
In the produce and grain markets there has been
increasing activity and advancing prices; but we
regret TO note that il has been mainly due to specu
lation rather than TO a demand for export or con-
sumption. We have had during the week about the
usual modicum of rumors of impending failures. to
which may be added the winding up Of the Third
Avenue Savings Bank, a concern which has been
practically bankrupt for the past two three years
and the reported failure of a Boston lumber house
with liabilities amounting TO million and
s-haf dollars. These rum0Ts and facts
have doubtless exercised more less depressing
eject upon speculation in the street but it has not
been serious. The public are becoming used 20 such
reports and therefore pay less attention 70 them
than if they were Of less frequent occurrence. Our
money market though possibly shade frrner, has
worked easy at about the old rates. viz. TO per
cent for call loans with exceptional transactions at
and per cent and 52 10 per cent for tirstcass
paper In United States bonds there has been fair
business at firm prices. some Of the issues
being shade better while Others remain as quoted
one week ago. In State bonds there has been little
doing which little has been at improving prices ;
while in railway mortgages we have had an active
trade with firm prices for the better grade Of these
securities Gold has been strong during the week
with some fluctuations in premium as well
as in the rate for borrowing, which has been as
high as LIS per diem, with exceptional business at
Is but the more usual rate has been l32 to 384
There has been much talk Of importatiOns Of gold
from Europe, which thus far has not actually
amounted 10 much. Foreign exchange continues
depressed on a small business, aud IL likely TO re-
main 80 until we have a more quiet gold market.
The weeks speculation at the Stock Exchange has
been irregular, and noted for sharp upward move
ment in Pacific Mail, which pays no dividends, and
for a serious break in two dividend-payng stocks,
