A OF TRADE.

Trade conditions have not essentially
changed during the past week. There has
been continued activity within conservative
limits In leading branches OF domestic trade.
Shipments of breadetufYs and provisions have
been comparatively small, owing 10 the dis
turbing eject OF speculation In this county
The industrial situation is fully as favorable
as IL was a week ago, and, notwithstanding
the unsettling influence Of q political cam
paign involving the future decision of ques-
ttons OF paramount Importance 10 the bust
ness interests of the country, the distribution
OF manufactured goods and staple products
has been apparently larger than during the
corresponding period last year, and public
confidence ia the improving tendencies OF the
commercial situation continues unim paired
The failures during the last week throughout
the United States aud Canada aggregated
25, an increase OF 80 over the total Of the
preceding week.
The iron trade shows increased activity In
several departments, and in occasional In
stances small price advances have been Sc
cured. There is more hopeful feeling In iron
trade circles generally. The condition of the
coal trade continues firm apG active.
A revival OF bullish speculation in north
western wheat markets mas caused an advance
OF 1l,5 cents per bushel In the price Of No. l
hard wheat at Minneapolis; and No. | north
ern, which corresponds with the contract
grade OF wheat in Chicago, has been stimuli
taneously advanced g cents a bushel. This
rise IN prices in the great milling district of
the northwest has communicated a bullisL
impalsc to values at all grain ~centers, and the
general level OF prices has been pushed up
from Az to 5A cents per bushel, to the fur
thor encouragement Of export business at the
Atlantic ports, although the relative cheap
paratively free movement from San Francisco
and Portland. The int Tor movement OF
wheat this week has fallen of considerably.
The flour trade has ruled dull because iobbers
at principal centers have been supplied by de-
liveries on account OF orders which they have
been able to undersell the direct agents Of
the mills, who are compelled to nod for pres
ent market prices. There is O fair export de-
mand for corn, but the large interior move
ment has depressed prices, which closed yes
terday ~ to "a cents per bushel lower than
they were a week ago. Provisions have ruled
quiet, and prices in Chicago have declined GO
cents per barrel for pork and 6215 cents per
100 pounds for lard.
