THE STATE OF TRADE.
special kilograms to Bradstreetis this
week continue the record OF fairly az.
i've general trade, At Philadelphia and
Plttsourg, Memphis, st. Louis and MIL
waukee the total volume of wholesale
trade is increasing. There has also been
some gain at Cincinnati, and at Cleveland
the business outlook is encouraging.
Merchandise is moving freely at Chicago
and Kansas City. AT New York and BIOS.
ton there is full and steady disposition
OF staples. Mercantile collections at
Chicago and at few other cities are less
prompt, which is due largely TO the crops
not having been generally marketed. The
aggregate OF commercial transactions, so
far as maybe fairly judged, is quite equal
70 totals In previous weeks, although the
bank clearings at thirty cities for this
week, as specially wired to Bradstreet,s,
amount to bat S75S, 95S, 402, as compared
with S79O,9S5,002 last week, and S7lS,-
690, 466 in the like week 1885, The decline
last week from the total Of the preceding
week was l01 per cent, and this week
the falling on is Clio per cent. as
against one year ago the gain is 8 per
cent. In view of the steady growth in
the volume OF commercial and Industrial
transactions, several sharp declines OF
late have apparently been due largely to
the falling away in speculative activity,
chiefly in the New York stock market.
The continued stringency of the money
market, and news tending to create feel
ing OF uncertainty regarding the railroad
situation, caused marked dizziness and
inactivity In the stock market. Transac-
tions for the week were SOC, 1000 shares,
against S63, 900 shares last week Bonds
OF all classes were dull, and the invest
ment demand has fallen off. Sales for
the week were S4,s09 200 par value,
against S6,893, 100 last week. Money is
firm on call at from to per cent, and
time money Is In demand at about per
cent. Commercial paper is hard to place,
and foreign exchange steady, with
continental bills close to the
gold-importing point. The East
ern wool markets are flrmer and
the tendency Of prices is toward an ad-
vance on the improved demand from
manufacturers. Considerable wool is
moving. Both dry goods jobbers and
agents report an active trade, and some
lines of bleached cottons are reported to
have been fractionally advanced. The
boot and shoe makers are also shipping
heavily. The late steadiness of demand
for iron and steel continues. few sales
of Eastern pig have been made at SIS 80
to $40, gain of soc. to 81, but these
were of small lots. Finished-iron makers
are enjoying a better trade and prices
are actually little higher. Steel rail
orders for 1887 delivery are in the market.
Wheat tends temporarily lower on weaker
cables and improving reports from the
northwestern crop. Indian corn, too, is
lower since the late frost was found TO
have done no damage. Louisville reports
tue Western tobacco crop promis-
ing well as to quantity. Stocks are in
creasing, but the market there is
fairly sustained. The Louisiana sugar
crop promises an average yield, but rice
there is in heavy supply and lower.
Bradstreet's August cotton report states
| that weather conditions have favored the
Eastern belt, but that damage has been
done in Texas and Arkansas, notably the
| former. The more favorable reports come
| from North Carolina and Tennessee. The
outlook for the crop is not so favorable as
In August last year Coffee has advanced
speculatively &c. Sugar is lower on in
creased crop estimates and larger visible
supplies. Adyices from Charleston TO
Bradstreet's are that the effect OF the
earthquake on trade in regions tributary
will be inappreciable. In Charleston the
check will be only temporary.
