NEW ioRK, July li.-Aside from Il 4
very considerable speculative activity IN I
the various staples the general trade IN
New,for for the past week has been dull,
rs 1t is usually In midsummer, and there Is
no special feature to note. The outlook for !
the fall trade ir dry goods Is considered
very satisfactory. The grain market in tho
early part Of the week was very strong in
oil descriptions, with an upward tendency,
until within day or two, when there came (
decline OF 3al cents on wheat, 9 on oats d
anu lal! on corn, this has been partially i
recovered prices advancing, and c.ot.
ing fairly steady. There is nothing Of a.
special interest In wool. Stocks, with the q
exception oil few descriptions, have not (;
been accumulating, butth market Is some. (

manufacturers TO purchase The strike has

CHICAGO. -
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE bank, clcarines
for the week estimating Saturday, amount I
TO iorty-six millions Of dollars. The whole.5
sale mercantile business has been fairlyss
active, despite the unfavonble weather.
Staples keep steady in price and demand !
There is some scarcity Of building mater.5
lals and prices generally are firm. Live
stock is rather depressed. Grain has not
been active, but feverisli, and the operators
are unsettled us TO future policy. Wheat:
Is now twenty cents higher than last year, 4
corn thrty.thrce cents higher, and oats /
sixteen cents higher. Provisions have j
been generally higher, but dropped heavily
late in the Week. Prices now arc. hoW.E
ever about four dollars higher for pork5
anu lard, which are nearly the same as
prices last year. Speculation in wheat is
taking wider range than ever before
Corn was fairly active for speculation, butt
the feeling was weak. .5.i. - +
CINCINNATI. II
i CINCINNATI, July 1.-THE present week!
has been most favorable 10 the crops. Tie
summer wheat has been safely cut, and
will be stacked to save it from injury by
rain. Corn is doing exceedingly well, the !,
only difficulty being the lack OF men to /
take care Of it and wheat at the same time.
In spite OF these favorable conditions there
has been no decline in grain, but rather an
advance. Midsummer dullness prevails in
almost all branches OF business. Iron is in !
little demand and prices are firm. 7. Pro-.
visions have been very firm, and reached
the highest prices, but the decline else.y
where has had n depressing effect here.
Lard has declined half n cent and bulk
meats and bacon about quarter OF cent.
