ures Fewer-The Outlook.
New York, August 22.-Throughout the
West, as reported in special dispatches to
BradstreefS, there is a distinct improve
ment in the general feeling in the mercan,
tile community dependent on the excellent
harvest of wheat already secured in
prospect This is not carried out, however,
in the reported transactions, country dealers
not having ordered goods with more free
dom than noted a week ago. At st, Louis,
Kansas City, Peoria, Evansville and in SOM
lines at Chicago, st. Paul and Minneapolis
the sales Of dry goods notions, hardware
and general groceries have been moderately
full, though the gain has been rather by
comparison with recent weeks than with
earlier expectations.
Receipts of new wheat at leading Western
markets have been in some instances greater
than anticipated at current rates. In others,
notably at Minneapolis, the receipts have
been very light indeed. Our own advices
from the Northwest are that the recent low
prices fixed BY the Minneapolis millers for
spring wheat are likely to be advanced.
The Northwestern farmers are said to be
rather better OF than expected, and there
fore likely to hold back their grain at cur
rent rates.
Breadstufrs.
Breadstuffs prices during the week have
advanced on q buying squirt at the West a
repor,ed cold wave." aud the small stocks
of contract corn. Wheat has since declin-
ed. as was inevitable in the face of excel
lent harvesting reports at home and abroad
and stsgnant foreign bresdstufs market
Corn is relatively stronger than wheat,
though sympathizing. Flour is no better
and rules in BUYERS favor. AS compared
with prices on August Is No. 2 red wheat
has declined &c; No. mixed corn gained
&c per bushel, and shipping extra -four lost

The corners in hog products continue,
though the general speculation IN those
commodities is less, and quotations are
lower. Demand is dull, and the supply is
abundant and the strong market is due to
Chicago operators
Iron Dull,
Iron is still very dull. Eastern furnaces
feel able 10 take care of themselves, and
fail to see the advantage to them in joining
in the proposed restriction of production
Steel rails have sold at $27 per ton, which
lowers the record again Is cents under the
nrey;ous lowest price. Manufactured iron
Is duh and competition for orders leaves 1t
with little profit. Anthracite coal is bear
inc harder than ever on the market, and fur
tber agreements to restrict the production
IN September and October are likely.
Stocks continue heavy, Petroleum has

General Golf left here tonight for Maine,
where he is to take the stuEp. He says
that the fusion ticket of Republicans and
Greenbackers will have majority in W..

The First and Fourth Congressional districts.
and thinks they will likely carry the Third

upon the size of the msjorities they get in
The first two named districts. If they get
good majorities in those, they have the
election sure. He would not say that under

not think Gibson, Democrat, In the Fourth

laughed at the idea of negroes being ship

absurd. The party would not begin this

a thing.

CLARE&oRE, /. l., Aug. II.
EDIToRs CHIEFTAIS:-The sale
Of town lots here to-day by Com
missioners Trott and McCracken
was attended by several real estate
buyers and lots brought fair prices.
The highest price paid was $40 for
block of four lots, J. NJ. Beard
being the purchaser.
Uncle Joe Chambers new build
ing is nearly completed and viii
soon be ready for its stock of drugs.
We have had but little rain here
for several weeks and crops and
grass are suffering badly.
John Gage has bought the bust
ness house and stock of Beard &
Hicks and is now . full-fedged
ClaremOre merchant, withbrilliant
prospects.
John Beard has been confined to
his room for several days with an
abscess on his thigh and worries
greatly over his exile from bust
ness. He has the sympathy OF
many friends.
The business of our merchants
has greatly increased in the last
flew waeks. John Bullett now en-
ploys two clerks and his stock
needs steady additions TO supply
the demands of his customers.
Us. Hicks has bought the Clare
more grist mill and moved back to
our town. No place like Clare
more for John and his family.
Stock is doing well and ship
ments of fat cattle will be made
from this point from time TO time
during the fall. q.

gives general satisfaction. tits re-
ported on what is considered re-
liable authority that double muir
der was committed some days ago
on Big Creek. The victims were
young Parks and his wife, both

presumed to have been CO mmitted

whom Is unknown. The man and
his wife were apparently asleep as
both their skulls had been fractured
with some blunt instrument. Parks
lived some days but never regained
consciousness. This makes the
third murder committed within a
very few weeks upon our people by
outlaws. tits understood that 4
