REVIEW OF THE LOCAL MARKET.

In mercantile lines. In hnanc1al mat
ters, there seems to be a little more
stringency noticed during the past week
than formerly The inquiry in some
directions for money on loan has indi-
Gated a slight evidence of pressure,
though, with few exceptions, the de-
mand has been met without much diff
Guilty. The increased stringency expert
enced in the east in the past season, is
being felt on this coast, more or less,
and in measure has had tendency to
caution our brokers and put a check on
promiscuous loans, even on fair to good
collaterals.
The receipts of all kinds of produce
has been very light for the past week.
Shipments west have been rather small.
Some 250 tons of wheat has been shipped
by rail. There is a large amount on
storage still in first hands, with very
small offerings to buyers, holders wait
ing for better prices which they hope to
get in the near future. 1t is question
able whether their anticipation will be
realized. The limited tonnage on i'm
mediate arrival and in port, has strong
tendency to hold prices at quotations.
European markets are lower and conse
quently are less active and futures are
easier.
