FoRF WORTH. Tex. Aug. Z, 1880.
The weather to-day was remarkably
pleasant for August. and it appears that
the hottest days have come and gone.
Business has been quiet in all circles.
Wholesale men have not been rushed
and retail dealers have not been favored
with any great amount of trade.
Prices remain unchanged from our last
report for ali commodities.
Wheat has been coming IN quite lively
and receipts are daily growing. Quota
tlons remain unchanged.
Country produce is i'll plentiful supply,
and while there have been no changes in
prices, they are not so firm as they have
been, the tendency being downward.
at the close of the market to-day the
ruliRg quotations for all commodities
were as are given below

of course help them out TO some extent.

plies at the four prominent distributing
ports. Holders seemed more accommo-
dating in their views, but found refners
unwilling to add to their accumulations,
partly because of the prOtracted and ex-

refined product. Hence business was
utterly lifeless, as only few moderate
