WEEKLY REVIEW.

Trade during the week has been steady in
all departments with no special changes or
variations to attract attention, except it be
in hardware. In this line there has been q
stronger feeling and a general hardening of
prices, caused by the shutting down in the
mills and the consequent curtailment of man
ufactured articles, particularly nails. The
market shows q better tone, and the stoppage
Of the Western mills with the possible con-
tnuance of the strike has had the effect of
checking the May decline. West of the Allie
ghenies there is only one single nail mill now
in operation. There has been some
quickening in the demand, and a
good many are disposed to treat
nails with less neglect than they have
done and to give the subject closer
attention. Barbed wire continues in active
demand and prices are firm. There has been
an advance of 10 per cent. on strap and T
hinges. Door locks have advanced per
cent. and wood screws have also advanced 10
per cent. The dry goods trade has been fair.
While the number of buyers was as numer-
GUS and the number of orders equal to that
OF the previous week, the sales were not quite
as good and the selections were not quite as
large. The demand was for all kinds of sea-
sonable fabrics Light, thin goods, suitable
for warm weather, of course, predominated.
cheviot shirtings, light cottonades and like
fabrics, suitable for farmers wear in the
harvest field, are very active. We note
some inquiry for grain bags, doubtless
in anticipation of the harvest Mosquito
nets were in large demand with an advance

of 2Ac per piece. Our jobbers have just re-
ceived information in regard to the large auc-
ton sales of flannels that have just taken
place in the Eastern markets. The goods were
well distributed and the sales on the whole
were very successful. The prices realized
averaged about ~ per cent below those of
last season, which decline represents about
the depreciation of the raw material. In the
grocery department business is active and
prices without change. Collections fair but
nothing to boast of. The drug market is
strong and active; spirits of turpentine and
white lead have advanced, while citric acid,
carbonate of ammonia, opium and quinine
have declined. Lumber is in active demand
and prices are firm, with no changes in quota

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 16.-The current of trade
ran on evenly and steadily to-day, as it has
done and bids fair to do until some in
creased demand for goods imparts to it an
additional momentum. At the same time a
strong and hopeful feeling pervades COM
mercial and financial circles and there is a
pretty confident expectation that the dawn
of better times is not far away. At present,
however, matters are quiet at the banks
and among the jobbers. The demand for
money is limited and rates are steady and
unchanged per cent for call loans
and 5@6 per cent. for money, with special
transactions at special rates. The move
ment of idle money towards good invest
ment bonds of all kinds is something re-
markable and the quantity available for
purchase fails entirely to meet the urgent
demand. New York exchange between
banks was quoted at 60c premium, with
only moderate call for it from without
Shipments of currency to the country were
fair and receipts light. Sterling exchange
was steady at 81. S6@4.S7. Bank clearings
were 1867, 900 against 81, 597, 900 yester-
day.
