Presidents denomination was received at
the White House over a special wire, and
Immediately conveyed to the President by
Colonel Lamont. The former was in the

were in the East room waiting chance to
shake hands with the President and by the
time he came down stairs, news of the
denomination had spread among them.
Nearly every person that attended the re-
ception congratulated the President when
they shook hands with him upon his re-
nomination, and when one old gentleman,
who had not heard the news, hoped the
President would be renominated, the latter
replied, with u Laugh, Il have been, sir,

Trade in most departments is reaching ex-

goods which had been moving prior to the cold
weather sluggishly Especially will this remark
apply to dry goods, boots and shoes. The leather
market is more active at the same range of prices
which have ruled for some weeks past. The
provision market is "slumpy." But little is
doing at this season of the year-in fact nothing
in a wholesale way. Jobbing prices have not as
yet been much affected by the weakness of
wholesale prices. The -four market is active,
but prices do not improve. The wheat market
is unsettled and prices inclined to go lower I'M
der the influence of the unfavcrable government
report and the unsatisfactory advices from
Europe. The export demand has been light,
and millers have made only moderate purchases
A further slight decrease in the visibls supply
report created little frmer feeling, and
there rather more buying at the
leading speculative markets. Notwithstand-
ing ing the generally s,nl eas, Ter tone to the
feeling of confidence that the crop figures have
been overestImated by the government, and
that the foreign demand will soon be larger,
both of which facts considered sufficient
reasons for anticipating frmer tendency to
prices and much more satisfactory demand for
