Will Attend thc Grant Funeral,
| Special Correspondence Of Gaze tic aid journal
NEWARK, Aug. T. Newark people can
equitably boast of one of the prettiest
stations and environs ON the whole line OF
the p, W. d b. railroad. The station it.
self is very pretty brick building
although totally inadequate to the re-
quirements OF our travelling public which
is reputed to be the largest, with the ex-
ception of your own city and Chester, on
the road. The adjacent grounds
have been deliberately arranged
with beds of exquisite flowers laid out in
all the imaginable and artistic forms
which their landscape gardner can con-
ceive of. The word Newark" in large
letters consisting of delIcately shaped
and vnriegated flowers, occupies n con-
spicuons position on the sloping terrace
and forms happy contrast to the velvet
covering of grass on the lawn. Its posi-
ton, too, is really admirable,
insomueh as il combines two
essential elements, i. e., usefulness
aud adornment. 1t serves TO acquaint
passengers who have an urobstructed
view of it from the car windows with the
name of the station and is an object of
constant admiration. This station is the
horticultural headquarters of the entire
line,and plants and flowers of all varieties
are here raised and nursed in the extern
sive hot houses until sufficiently matured
to be set out in the gardens of the rail
road stations on the line.
The cyclone of which so much is heard
did little material damage in this imme-
diate vicinity, though our neighbors suf-
fered considerably. The nearest case of
damage was the destruction of William
II. Smiths barn about q miles from this
town.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-The monthly settle
ments stimulated an increased volume Of
business at banks, but it was largely in the
way of checking and depositing. The APP
plicationS for discounts, while fair, were
not materially above the average for closing
days of last week. The calls also came
from about the same class of borrowers.
All the leading interests were well repre-
scented among applicants. and the market
was fairly firm at 5(07 per cent, according
to loan and security offered, Z per cent.
being generally charged to miscellaneous
borrowers who want sixty to ninety day
loans on fair business names. The move
ment of money to the interior is moderate,
and merchants report collections better than
at this date last year, and also that they
were deemed very satisfactory at that time.
The jobbing trade is quiet and many
of the wholesale dry goods and
other concerns are employing the
slackness in business to take account of
stocks, preparatory to closing up this years
transactions, and it is gratifying to be able
to say that the result of eleven months
work shows a material gain in sales on
nearly all lines of goods, over the CORES
ponding months in the two preceding years.
New York exchange was firm; % cents dis
count was freely bid, but bankers freely
declined selling at better than par, and the
bulk of the sales were at the latter, with
prospects that premium will be asked to-
morrow, as the amount being made is mod
crate. Foreign exchange was steady. Ac
tual rates for bankers sterling on London
were 81. S21l@4. S24 for long and $4.s5 for

WEEKLY REVIEW.

Notwithstanding the fact that the past week
has been a very mild one, and that Thanks
giving occurred within this period, both of
which facts are against an increase in bust
ness, the period referred to held its own very
successfully. In general hardware there have
been few important changes in prices during
the week. The general tone of the market is
unchanged, there being with moderate de-
mand firm feeling. Trade is not noticeably
large in volume, but good many assorted
orders are coming in, and the aggregate is
considerable. No complaint is heard about
collections. In regard to nails. it is said that
the demand from the West upon the Eastern
mills has slackened up considerably, and the
supply is rapidly approaching the point when
it will fully cover current requirements
There has really been but little change in the
situation, except that the number of ma
chimes operated by feeder nails has very much
increased since our last report. AT that
time but sos machines were reported in OPP
Grafton. Since that time the Junction iron
works at Steubenville have begun operations,
and had at last advices ten machines running
with their nail plate heaters and rollers. The
last report of the Western Nail association
shows SOS machines running. which is an in
crease of fifty machines. compared with last
weeks report. Ali this has had the effect to
reduce the price here slightly, so that
they are now quoted at 1885. While there
is no question but that the unreasonable
weather is having an unfortunate influence
on the demand for dry goods, the business of
the week was moderately active, and our re-

demand from short sellers who took all offer

with more demand, and few sellers at 95s4c
