'FINANcE AND TRADE
The Russian Grain Ukase Has Nos
Greatly Affected Prices.

Greatly Affected PriCes.
NEW YoRK, Aug. 22.-R. q. Dun g
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
During the past week attention has been
absorbed by the excitement in grain.
Russian orders prohibiting exports of
rye were taken as official confirmation
of the worst reports regarding the har-
vest in that country and were supported
by further reports that similar defen-
sive action would be taken by other
governments. There is little room to-
doubt that foreign demand will be
greater than ever if prices here are not
30 advanced as to check it. AS yet
prices are not extraordinarily high, and
not as high by ten cents, with all the
foreign news, as in April last.
The general business of the country
does we'll, with gradual improvement
in nearly all branches, based On actual
increase of demand from farming states.
1t may be doubted whether there has
ever been more cautious and conserva-
tive feeling prevalent at time when
the prospect of large trade was bright,
and in scarcely any branch is there seen
a disposition to venture upon large spec,
ulative purchases. Stocks of goods car
ried over have been large for years, and
dealers are admonished by the full list
of failures and there is so general dis
position to purchase only what it is GER
tain consumers will require that many
trades appear hesitating and almos dull.
Yet the volume Of business is probably
as large as ever before at midsummer.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the last
seven days number for the United
States 1879, and for Canada II, or total
of 216, as compared with a total of 227
last week, and 231 the week previous to
the last For the corresponding week
of last year the figures were 1872, repre-
senting 173 failures in the United States
and go in the Dominion of Canada.

claimed the general. "It is wonderful
what powerful attraction his name
has"
President Harrison always makes
good speeches. His admirable iudg-

last campaign undoubtedly contributed
to his election. But he was an excellent
candidate any way. l doubt if the party
could have named better one. think
he was possibly stronger than Blaine

General Alger's reply was: "Keep at

When, somewhat later, the reporter
remarked on the obvious strength of
such ticket, General Alger said at
