TRADE AND MoSEY.
The general movement of business continues
large, says the New York Evening Post, but un-
demonsuatlve, 1t has for some months eN.
panded slowly, though In many diroctione. and
II IL none the less important because al n gen.
orally free from speculative eNcitomen AZ
production aud consumption, while prices show
very hit change. DOmost oottons and
woolens are s.roog, and foreign impor

ported distinctly better for AL descripti ms eX,

for early delivery that some orders have been
placed In England At ic which, II correctly
given viii mako the cost a little more han CON
tracts for future delivery at our own mills. The
coat trade Is in an improving condition Prices
for anthracite have really gained n good part
of the advance recently ordered by tho great
companies and a further lift Of u cents Is
promised for next week, by which time the
Septembw output slll also be agreed upon aud
announced while bituminous is also In rather

| upon In various quarters as preteNt To-
gloomy predictions and for attacks upon th'

that the decrease In the hurplue OF tb,
