On the call board yesterday wheat was un-

In the general review of the weeks business
we can add but few new features except the
inevitable fluctuations in pric which are not
more than commonly varying.
In hardware there are some changes worth
noting, as for instance in shovels, which now
stand at $3.50 for Rowland's No. 2, polished,
and IS for Rowland's No. 2, plain back. Ohis-
els changed little as per schedule published
below. Cut nails run q little lower and are
quoted at S3.l5.
Finished iron and steel show no diminution,
either in business or collections. There are no
changes to report and the whole trade is most
satisfactory. If anything prices are hardening
little in anticipation of the advance IN
freights next Monday. which will be about ten
cents per hundred ON fourth class goods. This
includes the most of this kind of hard ware.
In drugs, paints and oils the variations are
few and slight. The business is improving,
even over that of last month, which is some
thing surprising, and is fully double of that
for the same period last year. Gum opium
qnotes at s7.00, instead of S7.25, as last
listed. SIENNA goes from 81 to &c, and spirits
of turpentine come down to 52@5Sc, from
$4,000. Discounts are rather heavier.
Ia country produce there are few changes.
Corn meal. course, improves from last quota
ton. Fine bolted lifts from
Sl6 to S17 per ton, and straight -four goes from
S5 to S.. so. All the other articles of deal in
this line show no variation worth noting.
Leather and findings, like boots and shoes,
are up and on the war path. Business In both
is unequaled, collections were never better,
and if you expect to see happy man look for
boot and shoe, or a leather dealer.
Groceries and grocer's sundries have shown
greater change than is to be found in any other
branch of trade for the week. Foreign
dried fruit elevates the pennon trife, while
domestic drops half cent. There are several
changes in all the dried fruit list, which deal
ers in the country will do we'll to scrutinize.
There is a wonderful drop in canned corn,
which it is not newspapers province to ac-
count for, but which our country readers ought
to notice. Pals and tubs also need little
lOOKlnS SIter. Two grades OF sugars, VIE: a
coffee, standard, and granulated drop shade,
aud sirups come down also. Fish
show considerable downward ten
dency, as are shown by our cables.
Business at the banks has been very fair.
Currency is moving freely from the East, and
exchange buys at a discount. Bank rates are
even Money is easy, and first class paper is
readily taken on the most favorable terms.
A New York diSpatch of last evening says:
1.-THE dry goods business continues firm with
cotton goods commission houses but the mar
ket Ia otherwise quiet. Cotton goods remain
firm and Nashua and Indian Orchard brown
sheeting advanced. Prints quiet. Mems
wear woolens in irregular demand. Foreign
goods sluggish"
Yarns and fabrics at Manchester dull and
lower.
