COMMERCIAL.
The past week has witnessed no develop
ments In commercial affairs of special i'm
portance or significance. The constant rains
which extended over a large area of country
have ceased. and the news from the farming
districts, taken as a whole, is not discouraging.
On the.contrary merchants generally are hope
fol and anticipate aremunerative fall ira de.
Indiana farmers on Sunday forwarded to this
market some very excellent samples of wheat
red and amber, but generally their views
are above those OF miIlsrs. and sales so far
have not been large. The general tone OF the
wheat market is weak, aud prices have de-
clined during the past two weeks fully eight
cents per bushel at Chicago and New York.
A good deal is said of a "short crop"
"half CROP" etc., but so far these.
reports have had no effect in arresting the
down ward tendency Of prices. Corn is in de-
m and, and prices are ruling steady. Dealers
find a ready market tor all that arrives at our
quotations. Oats continue dull.
WOOL.
Receipts at this point are liberal, and prices
are undergoing no quotable change, IN oueh the
outlook is in some regards improved as COM
pared with a week ago. The New York Com
mercial Bulletin of Saturday says:
The market for domestic woods is steady for
really desirable stock, and has at times during
the week shown a fair degree of animation,
but there is no decided buoyancy and an alb
sence OF quick, healthy and stimulating busi-
ness. Inueed, the majority of the trade are
adverse to any great am, unit of uppish ten
denotes at present, and decidedly deprecate
speculation, as there Is By no means sum lent
solid confidence to carry through manipua-
ton. d il is naturally feared that a reaction
would placa the mar xet in v o Sc condition n an
ever. Manufacturers and dealers want supplies
a. a gan hat
prices now ruling can not be considered as
high, vet there is a fear about in resting until
sumption, AMI past experience has taught the
lesson that it is not safe TO buy supplies
simply b cause they appear cheap. The new
clips as hey come forward show lair quality,
but a rule too heavy, and preference is
giver to choice old lots and to spring Califor-
mia. Indeed: the latter has been decided IA
vOTite. and the tales foot mp larger than for
some time past, manufacturers finding the
assortment attractive and owners of the stock
still willing to meet them on basis of bout
former fgures. The large auction sale OF fan
nels announced 10 take place shortly attracts
some interest among wool dealers, and the
no Q Is that the result will prove a. beneficial
as did that on the sale of OveTcOstings a shorJ
time ago. We hear to-day that The offerings

Try and eggs and prices are steady, though but
er has declined a fraction during the past
week. Poultry has improved in price and
