zr Wednesday, August 2,

The situation in commercial circles 70.
mains substantially as 1t was ut the date Of
our last weekly review; general business
continues dull, as It always Is during mid.
summer, but Il Is hoped that there, will be q
change for the better, and II is scarcely
possible that the depression which has pre-
vailed SO long will hold out much longer.
In Flour and Grain there Is nothing new
10 record; the demand continues light and
prices are weak, but nominally unchanged.
In Groceries about tho only important iea-
ture We have to notice Is d frmer market
for Sugar and Coffee has stificned up some.

PLouR--Thc market has been quiet dur.
ing the past week, md in a general way
presents but little that is new or important,
While there is,a very general belief that
lower prices are only q question Of little
time, In sympathy with wheat, OF which
there is NO longer room to doubt but there
will be at least IN average crop. there Inns
been no quotable decline since the date Of
our last report. The latest and most relia'
bic adyices from Europe warrant the pre-
diction that the export trade viii be com.
paratiycly light during the next year, us
the wheat crop there las in this country
promises an average yield, and unless there
should be foreign war the probability Is
that Breadstutis will rule much cheaper
than for several years past. This being the
situation, 1t Is not strange that business Is
dull, and no improvement can be expected
until thereis some evidence that the mar
ket has settled down, as dealers, both large
aud small, will not in the meantime carry
any more stock than they can possibly
