WASHINGTON, August SIT is an old
story now that the President is doing
remarkably well. Every day he is bet

sick room, official and unofficial, con-,
tinue to be of the most encouraging
character. There are but very few in
quirers at the White House about the
President. The official bulletins, which
are posted on tree in front OF the
White House and distributed around
the diff rent departments and also
posted behind the plate glass
wind)w OF the drug stores, furnish such
good news that the White House is spar
Ell moan inquiries about the President.
To day all that was said at the White
House was even OF 3 more encouraging
character than yesterday. 1t is about
decided that as soou as the President
can be moved he will he taken first to
the Soldiers Home, and then ii he bears
that move we'll. after he rests there a
few days he will be taken on a sea voy-
age. The doctors are anxious to get
the President away from the malarial
influences that prevail at the White
House.

UBaltimore is once more the only city
where any decrease in the value OF busi-
ness appears. 1t is said to be a habit Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad never
to compete for business when the rates
are not satisfactory, and this may ex-
PLAIN the exceptional course OF trade at
that city, which depends chiefly upon
that road. OF the other leading cities
st. Louis is the only one which does not
show handsome increase. With these
exceptions the improvement is very well
distributed, and is everywhere large
enough to be decidedly encouraging, for
Inlv 1880. was month Of extraordinary
the first time noticed by the principal
dealers here that the traditional mid.
summer stagnation failed to appear, and
the exchanges OF the other cities were
20 per cent. more than those OF July,
1879, which were in turn Is per cent.
greater than those OF July, 1878. In the
past two years the increase in the vol.
ume of business at all cities outsid1 OF
New York has been over ~ per cent.
Perhaps this is in part because OF late
years trade has been distributing itself
more evenly over the year. But the
volume of all legitimate business has
also greatly increased.

War Among ST. Louis Brewers.

ST.. LOUIS, August S.-A war has
broken out among the brewers OF this
city, which promises to lead to much
bitterness OF feeling and decentralization
of prices. On Monday the Winkle.
never brewery reduced the price OF beer
from IS to 81 per keg. Yesterday sev:,
eral other breweries followed suit, and
to day all the breweries in the city are
selling at the cut rate. The cause oi the
war is not very clear, but it is said by
some breweries that they intend to
totally abolish the onerous expenses at
tending the city sale OF their beer in the
way OF allowances to drivers and various
outrages which have gradually crept
into the business.

JULY EXCHANGES,

Weeks.

NEW York, August 1.-Considering
the season the exchanges for July are
the largest ever known at New York,
and are exceeded only by'those of June.
Outside OF New YORK the aggregate OF
the exchanges, it is true, have been ex-
ceeded six in each OF the four months
ending with March, and in May and
June, but it is natural that the deal
ings should be larger at other
seasons than in midsummer,
and the proportion OF the exchanges due
to stock speculation was not as large
last month as it usually has been since
last summer. A comparison with the
corresponding month last year shows
large increase for July in the exchanges
at New York, less double the market
value OF stocks, than in any other
months this year and larger increase in
the exchanges outside of New York than
in any Other month except June. The
