Trade was not go good to-day as yesterday
vet there was fair amount OF orders from the
country and o moderate city business. Values
in general mercantile lines did not drift from
previous mooriugs with one notable ex ep-
tion. meat. The weather i, splendid for bns.
iness and for crops, and If trade is tritle
slow the prosperous condition Of everything in
our agricultural world furnish am
nile assurance that that lacking

But like the hog, they never look up the tree
from which the acorn falls, and. like the hog
ignore the t,ee's exis ence IN the scramble
for what il produces, aud like the hog, the
acorn tree Is notdislinguished from the gen.

Wheat was In Increased receipt
ana n sTlnins b p}aIhes AS the sun sun
come forward more freely during the balance
of the week. Dallas Is now paying quite us
much for wheat as Kansas City aud is only "A
Few cents below Chicago and 81, Louis, and
doubtl,s So pays as much for the quality bought
AS could be realized upon the exchanges of
these cities. And still our producers are not
happy.

and some going to mills.
Long forage IL moving slow. II ia presumed
the hay presses are storing up good stocks for
the fall aud winter business, We have heard
OF no changes in the quotations.

arlstocracy say they can hold out indefinitely,
and mean to do so-that the price is lower than
even last spring, when II touched the lowest
point since the birth of Mays Little Lamb,
and therefore they will hold ON to their clip
until the ring "busts."
