WEEKLY REVIEW.

The past week has seen still further inn
provement in the general markets. and BUSH
ness is gradually improving. The drug bust
ness is active for the season, and prices are
well sustained. The advance in alcohol is
fully sustained. Linseed oil is also firm ut the
advance. Vanilla beans are higher; so, also,
is turpentine. Wool alcohol is Il to zoe per
gallon higher. Sennas are very high indeed,
and may advance still further. Senega is
dull. So much poor root is in the Eastern
market that prices are very seriously in
jured. Ginseng is dull and lower. Timothy
seed has advanced. The exhibition by NOyes
Bros. & Cutler at the Wisconsin State Phar-
maceutical association meeting at Fond duLac
was awarded the highest place and
praise among the exhibits. This firm
is preparing a line showing for our State
Fair. Business, as compared with that OF
last year shows a decided gain. One house
on the oath of August reported $50 more
ders filled in August up to that date than
during the same month last year. Collections
at harvest time are better than IL ual. In the
hardware business trade continues III fair
volume, orders being we'll assorted and ag-
grsgating to at least the average amount for
the season. Prices are in most lines well
maintained, aud the market is characterized
by general hrmnesS without any marked
tendency to higher values. The special feat
ures of the market are as stated before. Dry
goods, groceries, etc., etc., are unchanged.
