ST. PAUL, Aug. I'm a general way it
may be stated that the market is not much
changed from last week. The general mer-
chandise market continues active, while col
lections are generally quite satisfactory. The
crops are very promising and every one has
great expectations for the future, and appar-
emily the expectations will be justified. All
that can be said on this point has been said
many times and iced not be repeated. So far
as grains are concerned The market Is fat
While there is no decided decline in aty par
ticular grain there is waiting disposition
manifested and very decided Discrimination to
buy. In wheat there is nothing doing here at
all, and quotations are merely nominal. Pretty
nearly the came thing may be said of all the
other small grains.
In regard TO the money market il may be
said to be easier. Deposits are increasing,
while the demand is not quite as active as last
week. Customers Offering good paper are
freely accommodated at the banks. The sup.
ply OF exchange is somewhat increased. and
the premium paid between banks is less than
last week. Currency shipments to the coun-
try have not increased, but the present abund-
ant crop soon to he harvested will soon force
an active demand from the interior.

throughout the week its usual activity. The
