COMMERCIAL.

The volume OF trade for the week ending
this evening, though not as large as dealers
desired, has been about up to expectations,
and generally satisfactory. The weather has
not been favorable for the growing crops, and
some apprehension of injury 10 both corn
and wheat has been entertained, but as we
write the weather outlook is more encourag-
ing
II is probable that the political excitement
of the past week has interfered somewhat with
business affairs, but business men can not be
detected from the beaten paths of trade, and
the promise is for increased activity during
the coming week.
In the department Of dry goods fair trade
for the season is reported. We note a slight
decline in brown sheetingE, but with this ex-
ception prices are unchanged.
The New York Commercial Bulletin of the
9Th refers to the dry goods market as follows /:
Cotton goods o nearly all descriptions have
been quiet in agents hands, but prices based
upon Ia e aucs ion rates are iii mIy main tai ed
and there can be no dOub that b Jttom figures
have been reached, although lew revisons
may be found necessary for the equalization
OF values.
Bleached sheetings and shirtings.-Fine and
medium shlrtings have been In steady re-
ques =, but wide sheetings ruled quiet. Messrs
~ woodward, Lawren Co. have reduced the
price OF Red Bank Al shirtings To 61zc, and rs
do 10 5%c-less a trade discount-aJ which
figures these goods are undoubtedly cheap
Brown cottOns have lacked an nation, ana
will probably remain quiet an il jObbers have
d istrIbuted their recent heavy pu chases of
these fabrics. Prices of the leading corpora
ton makes are quiet steady in agents hands
Pnnts.-There has been a limited den and
for white ground fancles In single package lots,
aud shirCngs continue In steady request.
Really choice styles of white ground fancies
are in small supply, but light medium sly les
are plentiful enough: F.ag and decoration
of WashingtOns have been closet out by
agents.
In groceries we note a hrmer feeling in co..
fees, and slight advance on former quota
lions has been established. Sugars rule firm
Dealers in produce report more active de-
mand for eggs, with light receipts and an adj
vance in prices. Country butter is in little re-
quest, and prices are merely nominal. Butter
we'll prepared and properly packed lis
readily, but most ofthe butter arrives In such
a condition that 1t sells for about the price OF
greese. Indiana farmers would do well to
give this matter attention.
Feathers are in active demand, and find
ready sale in this market at our quotations.
The New York market of the 18th for butter
a eggs is reported as follows:

day; but far as II goes, full prices hA We been

feeling is tnat current rates are ike " to at

ent have too much advantage to admit of any
Shading. Quality is the main desideraium o.
buyers, and all kinds o. packages are in favor,
provld d they contain attractive butter. Tubs
and irRins are being held back Ia manys c.
lions, and pals furnish the principal supply.
Welsh tubs continue scarce. Fine Western
cresmeries and the best selections of dairy
packed are in demand about equal to the M d
crate supply, but milled stock meets with but
little favor and shows an Irregular tone at q
low range OF prices.

TIE wsol market IS exceedingly dull here, as
also East, and there seems TO be no margin for
shipments. The Boston Journal OF Commerce
refers to the market as follows:
The wool sales have fal EN- off considerably
