even worse than that. 1t has been quiet
and dull all along during the harvest sea-
son. Wheat particularly has been very
quiet and even fiat, and does not even at
this late day come up. On the
contrary it has decided
tendency to decline. It is good deal the
same way with the other grains. The truth
is there is good deal of wheat in the
country, and farmers are manifesting a
disposition to hold for better prices, which
has tendency to cause dealers to be eau
tious.
Groceries have been very active, and a
good many changes have taken place; rails

ries, canned peaches, apples and sugars
have declined, and generally speaking the
market has declined good deal, as will
be seen by reference to the quotations.
Dry goods are without any special
change. Trade is better than ever
but collections are not quite
up to the mark. In drugs, oils and paints
there is the usual active trade. Peruvian
red bark, borax, chloroform, gum shellac
hemp seed and canary have declined.
Hardware is active. Lumber is in good
demand.
There is no change noticeable in our
money market. Farmers seem adverse to
selling wheat at ruling prices and ship.
ments thus far have been unprecedentedly
light for this season of theI year. Money
shipped into the interior does not return
in the same degree as noticeable hereto
fore. The general movement of wheat
seems to have been postponed in anticipa-
ton of higher prices and no favorable
change in the money market need be
looked for during the next two or three
weeks. Banks are making no
accommodation loans and are generally
pursuing the policy leading rather to a
contraction than an expansion of their dis
count lines. Merchants are doing a large
business, but complain somewhat of poor
collections.
