of merchandise exceeded the amount Of the imports

OF the numerical situation during last week
there is little new inter sting. The political con-
test is attracting more than usual attention. and.
undOubreuly 20 4 greater or less extent, has some
IN oeGltc influence Upon operations. particularly
on those for the future OF the great speculations
III pork The Commercial and financial Chronicle re-
marks: " In 20 4 sharp pe"ulative advance has
been established. The Chicago markets. for some
time. have held prices much above the New-York
markets. A short interest Of some magnitude
having been developed, the operators here in
structcd t. advance the market 10 correspond with
the W,st and thus establish uniform basis for the
settling Of contracts. Lard and other provisions
have been irregular and. at times drooplng." The

there clio ny the week as il opened At To-. The
grain markets were fairly steady. with some adj
vance III prices for wheat Liverpool also has adj
vanced about ID per cwt There Is
speck OF labor Iouble at the East The
manufacturers OF Prnt-cloth-, having again
OveIStucked the market have had 10 accept
prices within i cent Of the lowest ever known.
and therefore have proposed reduction Of 10 per
cent IN the wages paid. This reduction l. resisted
by the operatives, and strike Is threatened. The
prospect of trouble and curtaineut OF the proIuc-
ton created a speculative demand for the cloths.
and prices again were better OF the iron and coal
markets The Engineering and Mining JOufHGi says:
here has been great qUetness Ia all departments
of the IRON trade during ,he past week. There is a
large consumption of iron gong on, but there are
10 Indications of extensive Buying likely to take
place for several rnonths. The imports of iron con-
time 70 be sufficiently large 70 have depressing
Effect upon our markets. Upon the whole, the ont
look for the early future not encouraging one.
The demand shows but little animation.
and prices are weak. There is q better supply of

and those previously booked. The trade is trying
10 make itself think that the proposed reduction of
he output for five working days Is helping bus
ness but we think that a cuTtalment three times as
zreat will be necessary to accomplish much. A
week OF ten DAYS of moderately cool weather might
change the aspect Of affairs and create quite q buy
ng movement
The weekly bank statement shows seemingly |
luiet movement, the total change in the reserves
amounting only a loss OF S42. POO But when 1t Is |
.ememb bered that during the week the Sub bIreasury
paid "a 720 544 Assay Office checks for imported |
yold and that the SuD-Treasury lost S52S.572 in |
currency. IL Is seen that the movements were active
and important The loans further reduced
$3.50 400. The circulation was reduced 81 70, 500,
because of the Park Bank's further re-
iuction of S160 700 and of the Mechanics Banking
associations reduction of S457 The deposits
re increased $SO4.5O0. while the other
hanpes call for reduction of $596 500.
