CONDITION OF OUR HOME MARKETS
Business in all departments has been
| fair during the past week, but the ap-
prebensions growing out of labor trou-
bles elsewhere has had tendency to
unsettle prices on the products OF our
mills. The recent meeting of the Nail
Association, at Pittsburg, when the
price was practically fixed at IS, al
though the scale was not formally re-
scinded, followed by the reduction in
the price of iron at Philadelphia, on
Monday, have tended to still further
embarrass that important branch of our
industries, and we do not look for any
thing like a "boom" until the question
of wages Jor the coming year Is settled.
Money is plenty at the usual rates
and good commercial paper is sought
for. Deposits are unusually heavy Tor
the season, and funds are seeking In
vestment. Wheeling capitalists, as a
rule, prefer home institutions as invest
ment, and should the wage question be
amicably settled, it is likely that many
new enterprises will be inaugurated, old
ones strengthened and enlarged, and an
era of improvement entered upon. The
money is here lying idle, and only needs
favorable conditions to induce invest
ment.
Dry goods continue in fair demand,
at full prices, although trade Is not so
brisk as last month. A conservative
business is being done, with which
dealers are satisfied.
The following are the latest quotations
and the market generally is strong:
