one. The weather for the coming week
promises to be rather more favorable for
outdoor work. The merch 0ndise market
has been very active, while quotations
have not been much changed. Apples
have advanced slightly. Hogs are coming
in moderately. Cattle have been in good
supply. Fruit in fair supply and very
active. Dry goods have been in good de-
mand at present quotations. Groceries
a.e active as usual with but two or three
changes in quotations. Drugs, oils and
paints present few changes in prices.
Gum opium, morphine, oil of lemon and
quinine have declined. In hardware, deal
els have their hands full and even more.
but quotations remain the same as former
ly. Collections in all departments are be-
hind owing to various causes, principally
to an unwillingness on the part of farmers
to part with their crops at present
prices and partly on account of
the bad roads. Craps are in
gooi supply. Peaches are approaching,
ing their end, lemons and oranges i'm
proving. Cattle are in good supply, hogs
and shep plenty.
The features of the money market dur
ing the past week have not varied much
from those of the proceeding week. Money
continues in very active demand and
banks are still insisting on discriminating
i'll granting loans. As general rule only
such loans are made as are deemed abso-
lute:y necessary. Accommodation paper is
not looked upon with favor. Merchants
asking loans fer the purpose
os paving eastern bills and parties apply
ing Tor aid to help market its crops are
accommodated when presenting good
paper. Generally at this season of the
year there Is an abundance of eastern ex-
change in the market but at present owing
to the fact that farmers refuse to sell
their wheat at the comparatively low
prices, there is a scarcity of exchange which
is unusual at this season. The closeness
OF the money market will not be materially
relieved until large portion of our crop
has been marketed and realized upon. Our
present crop is such that it cannot fail to
create a good opening for the business
season, and the promises for the immedi-
ate future are as good as they have been
for a number of years, il not better.
