proved standing. No risks are run by
buying on speculation, nor by efforts to
extend trade by extraordinary means
As the volume of trade has become cur
tailed and margins are close, judicsus
merchants and manufacturers are ad-
dressing themselves to reduction of ex-
penses.
A brisk t,ade is not expected this FALL
Consumers buy articles only as needed
making no large bills and few debts
merchants must practice II similar line Of
policy. We believe that none of our
Dry Goods houses have yet purchased
their Fall stocks; all watching and wait
ing events This is unusual for the time
of year, and exhibits caution and con-
servatism commendable.
The New York Bulletin of Tuesday,
says that the jobbing trade in that city Is
inactive, but that there are so many buy
ers IN the market that an early improve
ment seems certain. The Bulletin re-
marks on the future outlook Of business
generally:
More failures are to be expected but
they will be failures not on obligations
incurred under the present state OF trade,
nor caused even remotely by the present
condition of affairs. \ good fair trade
is doing and it is moderately profitable.
We have large crops, and better markets
than usual for them; bank facilities are
ample; in fact, all the essential elements
for satisfactory trade exist; there Is but
one point which can be successfully at
tackled, and that is confidence. 1t pos
Siblc that persistent croaking may under
mine that, although it will only be by the
business community listening to the dis
NAL forebodings OF those who, Judging
the whole country by themselves, see
only distress ahead.
The remarks Of the Bulletin that 1--WE
have large crops and better markets than
usual for them, especially applies TO the
West, and Southwest, in which sections
of country Wheeling finds customers for
most of her manufactured articles This
encourages the belief that our Iron, Nail
and Glass Factories may find ready pur-
chasers for all their wares, at current
prices. The prices being low, profits
must be small; but II steady demand un-
der those circumstances, is something.
Wheat is improving in price and Is
coming in briskly. Good old wheat

wheat il of such varied quality as to

of the question. Small lots of new wheat
