COMMERCIAL.

IL reviewing the general markets for the
week ending this evening there is very little
to report I special interest relating to the
movement of merchandise in any of the de-
psrtmsnts OF trade.
In grain the most noticeable feature is the
| sharp advance in wheat reported at Chicago
That it was in a large measure speculative
| there can be little doubt, but 1T is fair to as
sumo that advices from Europe have con-
| tributed somewhat TO producing the reaction,
which, from the lowest quotable figures, sent
prices mp fully 8 cents bushel during the
week. There has slso been better telling in
corn and large shipments from this point have
been made. In oats the markets have ruled
dull, and prices have remained in statu quo.
In provisions firmer feeling has been de-
veloped, consequent upon an improved con-
sumptive demand, and holders have been able
to establish a slight advance upon meats and
lard. The outlook, however, is not so hope
| full as could be desired, and we incline TO the
opinion that prices are too high to warrant
the expectation of a large consumptive de-
mand.
In dry goods the market has ruled quiet,
with a moderate demand for staple goods, and
prices ere steady.
In the produce market we note q decline in
eggs to 10 and IL cents per dozen on arrival
with little disposition on the part of commits
sion houses to buy. Eastern markets are over
stocked, and prevailing prices there leave lit
tie or no margin for shippers.
In butter the market rules exceedingly dull,
and prices may be regarded as nominal. Much
of the butter arriving is in bad order and sells
at about the price Of lard, being used almost
exclusively for cooking.
Poultry is in fair request and prices are un-
changed.
There are no new features in the department
of groceries except that sugars are quoted
nrmer, with the probability of an early ad-
vance In quotations.
The wool market is quoted weak and unsat-
isfactoIy, and prices are lower.

average, but transactions were OF limited

Some little complaint is still being made by
moneyed Institutions OF the large surplus OF
available loanable funds lying idle in their
vaults though inquiries for loans have been
more active than for some months past. Rates
OF discount are still firm and steady at s to 10
per cent. per annum. On the street a fair
amount OF business was doing in the way OF
discounts in a cls5s Of paper which Is not gen.
orally handled by financial institutions, and
rates range from to 3 per cent. per month,
according to the quality OF paper Offering and
the urgency of the demand
CHIcAGo-The Tribune of Monday says:
There was little change in the monotonous
movement of local finances last week, except
toward the end, when the slightly greater
orders from the country for currency, follow
ing the rise in wheat, heralded larger receipts
of country produce. The general features OF
business during the week were of little inter-
est. The banks could have accommodated q
much larger number of borrowers than APP
quiet The general mercantile transactions
Of the week were light, and the supply of new
paper was small. The b nks have a surplus
of loanable resources and rates show a tend
eDcy to soften.

tains the following: No improvement is

DICKENS GRAVE.

Grace Greenwood writes to the New York
Times thus tenderly of her visit to the Poets
Corner at Westminster Abbey, where the
great novelist, Dickens, lies: ut is a grand
thing, doubtless, to be buried in Westminster
Abbey, but it is a dreary sort of isolation in
death for a social, kindly man like Dickens.
No friend can come to keep him company;
no child may be laid at his side. He loved
light and warmth and color; all cheerful
sights and sounds. Change was necessary
to his alert spirit, and he should have been
laid in some pleasant, open burial ground in
or near the great city, with the sounds and
movements of everyday life abouthim. That
was the life he loved to paint. lie never was
at home with lords and ladies. He has gone
into magnificent Punishment here, where the
perpetual tramp of strange feet, coming and
going, is like the ebb and flow of a sea across
the granite that shuts him down among un-
kindred dust, where no ~faintest influence of
the sun, no intimations of the seasons can
come. But they say his coffin was heaped
high with flowers. Midsummer went down
with him into the grave, and was hid away
with him in fragrant darkness there. And
Oh each anniversary of his death there arc
placed on that cold, gray slab, the sweetest
and brightest flowers of this festal month
crosses of white lilies and roses, 'pansies
for thought, rosemary for remembrance
and always a peculiar offering from some
unknown hand-a wreath of scarlet gerani-
ums, looking in at that shadowy corner like
flowery flame, the very expression of pas
sionate love and sorrow"

GOODNIGHT.

Eivcr that stealest with such silent pace
Around the City of the Dead, where lies
A friend who bore thy name, and whom these
eyes
Shall see no more in his accustomed place,
Linger and fold him in thy soft embrace,
And say goodnight, for now the western skies
Are red with sunset, and gray mists arise
Like damps that gather ON q dead mans face.
Goodnight! good night; as we so oft have said
Beneath this roof, at midnight. in the days
That are no more, and shall no more return.
Thou hast but taken thy lamp and gone to bed;

To cover up the embers that still burn.
