At the banks business is steady and light.

which will be about the middle of next month.
there is not likely to be large demand Tor

quotations.
The early indications of fall trade ut the
wholesale houses are promising large lines of
business. Orders at the dry good houses and
in associated lines of trade are yet limited, but
early BUYERS are beginning to appear at the
boot and shoe and leather houses, and the
hardware and iron trades are in
cressipcly active. The grocery houses
have had an unusual run of traffic all through
the summer, which still holds out Messrs.
Moves Bros. & Cutler report the drug
market active and say that many prices have
changed, generally toward an advance. Iodine
and iod polass. are lower. Tartaric acid is
dull. Seneca and ginseng now command high
er prices. Castor oil = is firm at the advance.
Opium is frmer. Quin N seems sure to be

Old oats are firmly held at $4,000. Corn rules

Creamery and choice dairy butter are scarce at
the late advance, the former bringing Zoe and
selling at retail at Csc, and the latter bringing
20c and retailing at 23@25o. Eggs, strictly
fresh, are scarce and wanted at 13c. Pork,
bacon, hams and lard are not steady
in prices being held according to the
Chicago market, from which supplies are
drawn, but at only nominal vance on that
market for pork. Buyers of hides have lately
advanced their figures for sheerlings and lamb
hides. Wool buyers regard the prospects as

couragement amounts to this, that manufac-
turers are beginng to buy domestic woods,
