State OfTrade.

New YORK, August 1.-Br0d-
streets, in its commercial summary,
says: Especial kilograms to BrdG-
streets, while indicating no material
change in the general movement Of
merchandise, continue to report
greater steadinesS in Eastern and
other leading dry goods, wool, ana
boot and shoe markets. There are no
changes in the prices of these COM
mOdities, but sales are little more
frequent and dealers inclined to be
cOrreSpondingly cheerful. The cot
ton goods market has been slightly
stiffened particularly that for mouyN-
ing goods, owing to the special de-
mand at this time. A number of
special makes of the latter are report
ed to have been exhausted.
Iron and steel are as dull as ever.
The decreased production and increas-
ed stocks during the past half year
are especially significant. Coal is in
no better demand, and the arrange
ment to take out large quantity per
month during the next few months
encourages buyers to hold off. Pc.
troleum speculation has lost its snap,
so far as the bulls are concerned,
though the statistical position Of the
product has remained quite as strong
ly in favor of higher figures as here
tOfOre.
A special to BradSheefs from st.
Paul states that the weather in that
region has greatly favored the bull
side of the wheat market as there
has been great heat. followed by rain
and serious damage to the crop. The
measure Of the injury has not been
determined. This has been particu-
larry true As to the north. In the
southern portion Of the region ind5-
Gated some damage has been done by
chinch- bugs, but there has been little
or no rain. The demand for grocery
staples has been moderate and with
out and special improvement. Dairy
products are lower, with restricted
demand both for the home trade and
for export.
The reports from financial centres
East and Yves, bring no signs Of inn
prOvement. Those from Chicago
point to decline in the demand for
money during the week.

Grants Pall-Bearers.

WASHINGTON, July 31.-One of
the most noticeable features of the
preparations for the funeral of Gen.
Grant has been the care that has been
taken for the presence at the obSe-
quies of representative men of both
the South and the North. When
President Cleveland was requested
to select the palI-hearers he at once
asked Mrs. Grant if she had any pref
erences to suggest. She replied that
she had but one request to make in
that connection. If either General
Sherman or General Sheridan were
to be selected. she hoped some ex.
Confederate general would be chosen
also. Mr., Cleveland met this sug-
gestiOn more than half way. He
selected both Sherman and Sheridan,
and also two eX. Confederate generals
-Buckner and ice Johnston. Con-
siderable comment has been caused
by the fact that no eX-president of
the United States was named as one
of the pall-bearers. At the White
House to-day it was stated officially
that this was because the ex-presi-
dents were provided for with the
mourners in the official program, but
it is generally understood that the
real reason is that Mr.. Arthur could
not have been made pall-bearer un-
less Mr.. Hayes was also chosen, and
that the selection of the latter would
have been unpleasant to those South
ern Democrats and others who have
never recognized him as having been
legally elected president. 1t is also
learned here in Washington that
quite number of bodies of ex-COn-
federate soldiers are arranging to take
part in the funeral parade in New
York.
Referring to the regrets that has
been expressed in some quarters that
General Grant is not to be buried in
his uniform. with one of his swords
by his side, and to the supposition
that none of his uniforms or swords
are available for that purpose, be-
cause they were all turned over to
the government some months ago
with his other military relics, Adju.
tant General Drum to-day said to an
Associated Press reporter that any or
all of them are at the disposal of Mrs.
Grant while they remain in the War
Department awaiting the action of
Congress.
