A New York dispatch of last evening says:
houses to-day and jobbing trade fair for Satur-
| day. Cotton goods in steady demand at first
| hands; prints in circulation and ginghams con-
| tinue active and dress goods doing fairly.
Mems wear and woolens in rather better de-
mand. Bulletin says: Two thousand peices
dress silks will be offered at auction Wednesday
| next"
| Late London dispatches state that the wheat
cutting has commenced, and that. while the
| crop is fair in Essex and very good in Devon
| shire, 1t has been seriously In ured, and the
| prospects are very unfavorable in the midland
| counties and in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire.
| This dispatch indicates that, while the abso
| lutte deficiency in Great Britain will not be so
| large as it was last year, it will probably be
| large enough to require importations of more
than the average for the five years 1883, or
about 120, 600, 900 bushels. But stocks are
| much exhausted, and moreover, the prospect is
| that Russia will be less able than usual to as
| sist in meeting British needs. In France, too,
according to the London dispatch, the yield
! seems to fall below recent estimates, so that an
importation of 5S 000,C00 to $4,000, 900 bushels
| will be needed. Dispatches also state that the
| crop prospects in Germany sre gloomy. 1t may
| be inferred therefore that low prices here will
| probably cause exports of grain nearly or quite
as large were made at higher prices last fall.
| Chlcago I9I0une, 18TH: 'Ihere seems to be no
doubt that the corn crop of the West has really
| been injured, and that to great extent. Con
trary to the belief that corn cannot suffer from
drought after its leaves have spread out SO as
| to shade the ground, it seems to have suffered
| most this year after that time. They say it
| got struck in the milk, the consequence being
that the ears have only partially filed out, two
| or three inches from the end of the cob being
| entirely bare of kernels. ~ is understood that
some parties here have been aware of the con-
dition for two or three weeks past, and have
bought corn enough to make them independ-
emily rich if the event agree with their idea
of it,
From the same: Lumber was firm at both
yards and docks under n brisk demand. The
receipts were small, and sold seon after they
touched the docks. Yard prices are strong,
and some firms have issued pricelists quoting
common lumber SOC per LOCO feet higher. The
shipments exceed 100000 feet per day, which
is sai id to be extraordinary"
Boston has "corner" or attempted corner
in hemlock bark, "A circumstance which is Great
ing more or less talk among the leather trade.
