Banking business was very quiet, with light
transactions in every branch. Dizziness and
ease do not, however, mean the same thing, and
money loaned at per cent. While the demand
could hardly be called pressing, conservative
bankers show no disposition to extend lines.
July has been a month OF falling vaues and
particularly from the East we have reports of
heavy failures. This state of affairs affects
every branch of business. Taken as a whole,
she business of the past month has not
been satisfactory to either merchants or
manufacturers. Margins of profit very
small, aud in view of the impending
labor troubles, the outlook seems a little
gloomy. On the other hand, the crop prospects
are very good, and even allowing that the Euro
peen demand will be less than usual, cheap food
should stimulate trade. Eastern exchange was
freely offered at par.
