y CINCINNATI, September 15.-The week
has been n busy one in retail circles, and
there has also been wholesale activity in
all wholesale lines, in consequence Of the
influx OF strangers 10 the Exposition. The
weather has been exceedingly fine for the
purpose OF maturing the corn crop. The
scarcity OF spot corn in connection with
the low prices to which it had fallen,
caused a reaction and marked advance
OF nearly three cents bushel to-day.
Wheat continues at 05a0Gc, though good
grades are firm on account Of the consider.
able quantity OF wheat arriving in bad
condition. Oats have become scarce md
higher to-day, being held at &c., Pro.
visions have been without change. Meats
and bacon have been steady, with fair
demand. Z s7&IGiI{,gs i

look. Prices were maintained well for
most lines, but no advance was noted in
the general business. It is believed that
the receipts OF cattle never came SO near
eQualling those OF hogs in this mar
ket. Prices OF live stock were rather
weakening. The grain markets were seek.
ing lower level most of the week, but
wheat finds very strong friends and it has
been well supported. All the others
dropped. To-day, however, there was
rather bullish on more wheat. ( 3ssG2

PITTSBURGH.
PiTTsnuRGH, September Is. General
trade has somewhat improved under the
belief that the iron strike is nearing an
end. The Exposition is attracting many
&eople from the surrounding country and
the retail trade shows largely increased
business in consequence. Our trading
products, however, such rs iron, glass and
coal, remain dull and unchanged with a
light demand. In oil the widest excite
ment prevailed during the week owing to a
decline in the production. Aided by
speculators, the market advanced 12 cents
since last Friday and closed this afternoon
at GS3c.' The sales we're larger than ever
before, aggregating for the week q, ,46l, 900
barrels. NJ Il,

trade for the week has been dull. There
is no demand except for immediate wants,
and the prices Of wheat, corn and oats are
without material change. Provisions arc
in in fair demand at last weeks figures,
Mess pork declined fifty cents. The balance
are without change. The market for finish
ed iron is firm owing largely 10 the contin-
uation Of the strike. The demand for sheet
iron is late, owing to the high prices asked.
Hoop, too, is high, but not called for in
quantities. The general trade in hard dware
is good and promises to be better.
