general quietness prevailed throughout the
market. A continued dizziness is generally
anticipated until after the election, when
fresh impulse is given to business.

slight falling OF in comparison with the pre-
vious weeks business, and particularly so in
the staple goods, with no quotable changes in
prices. Indeed the whole line Of values IN all
departments is generally well sustained. The
dry goods trade is still slow and unsatIsfac-
tory. while the continued mildness of the
weather helps to lessen the demand.
In hardware and grain the demand is some
what uncertain. and confined mainly to the
immediate wants of regular buyers. In the
latter there is some cutting Of prices among
the local dealers. Money continues moderate
ly easy, with good demand, Securities are
quiet, with but little fluctuations. For cOndi-
tiOns and quotations of the different markets
