Financial and Commercial.

In Western cities generally money ;e
scarce and high, and this is especially
the case in the smaller cities, which de-
pend more absolutely upon the country
trade. In Red Wing the scarcity is so
great as to amount to serious inconyen-
ience, and the low price of Wheat and
prevailing wet weather has occasioned
almost a suspension Of business here,
and change for the better is looked
for with considerable impatience. In
the East money is reported easy and call
loans are quoted at 2@3 per cent, or
one per cent. less than last week. It
should be borne in mind, however, that
this condition of the Eastern money
market ioes not represent what it
seems. Money is easy there because
there is no demand for it in the usual
business channels; and while it is true
that call loans may be effected at low
rates, values are SO unstable and the
business prospects of the future so un-
certain, that those who would otherwise
Use money in trade OF improvement en-
terprises dare not venture to make in
vestments. Hence, the labor force is
largely unemployed, and that class Of
the population is compelled to economize
and, in many instances, even to suffer
want. 1t is only with capitalists that
money is easy, and in their hands it is
unproductive, and this condition Of
affairs must continue until congress
takes son,e-defnite and sensible action
81 the financial question. The country
is now enduring the pangs Of an effort
to reach specie resumption, without any
prospect of attaining that result.
In the commercial world the effects
Of the financial troubles are distinctly
visible. Trade is dull everywhere, and
prices generally are declining. Dry
goods, groceries, hardware, manufac-
lures of leather, wood and iron, drugs,
paints, oils, &C., are all gradually and
constantly sinking. It is hardly posi-
ble to arrive at the extent of this shrink
age, but when the quantity of a years
supply Of these articles is taken into
consideration, the aggregated reduction
will be found to be extremely large.
Country produce is really suffering
less in this way than almost anything
else, and the great staple of the West
is least affected of all. On the 18th of
May last year, in Chicago, the quota
tion for No. 2 wheat was $l.03L!
This year, on the same day it was
81 .O315! Corn was then 73c, this
year 47c; Oats, then, 64c, now, Sic;
rye, then, $l.0615, now, 63>5c; barley,
then, $l.35, now, &c.; mess pork,
then, $2l.40, now, $2l; lard, then,
$l5. .4Oc, now, $l2.45. These figures
are not very Aattering to the theory of
those who advocate "diversifcation of

the Milwaukee market during the past

Minnesota at the Show,

The average Minnesotian cannot
avoid feeling ashamed of the repre-
sentation made by his State at the
Centennial Exposition. Mr.. George
H. Ellsbury, who is there in some
capacity of agent having charge of
the interests of the State, in a re-
cent letter to ex-Gov. Marshall, says
that he has on exhibition zone bar
rel of sample grain, consisting of 16
samples of wheat, 3 of corn, 3 of
oats, of barley and I of buck
wheat! And I have a few more
samples which had to buy of farm
ers before leaving the State. This
is all of Minnesota's donation to-
wards the exhibition. We have
never been very ardent advocate
of this exposition, having regarded
it as likely to entail upon the people
a large outlay of money, which they
could lily afford to spend, without
any promise Of adequate benefits.
But inasmuch as it was to be and
would be, it would certainly have
been wise policy for this State to
have made, at least, a respectable
showing there.
AS many Minnesotians will attend
the exhibition, and they will spend
as much money there and on the
way, under existing circumstances
as under any other that could have
existed. And, hence, while the
State will suffer the same depletion
Of wealth, it will not only receive
no benefit, but will actually suffer
in reputation and pecuniarily, be-
cause of this show. 1t will not do
for Minnesotians in Philadelphia to
say that better wheat is grown in
this State that the Iowa and Kansas
samples, or better oats than those
from Missouri and Illinois. For
they will be asked, "Why didn't you
bring them here?" So, too, with
our manufactures: "Why are they
not exhibited?" "This is compet-
tive exposition of products, the
stranger to Minnesota will say, "and
it is unreasonable to believe that,
if you Minnesotians had anything
worth showing, you would have neg
lected this opportunity of entering
the lists with your products.
The discounted champion of
Minnesota will be compelled to gulp
down his bile, and, with assumed
serenity, will, perhaps, retort: "Oh!
we'll, we were unfortunate in having
legislators last winter, who had had
economy so persistently drilled into
them that they concluded the State
was too poor to afford an appropri-
alton for the purpose of sending
samples Of our products here"
"Just so," replies a Kansas man,
@and they were right. With your
cold climate and thin soil, you peo-
