Especial Commercial Correspondence of the
RECoRD-UNIoN.l


General trade is fairly active, with more
distant points calling for freer supplies of gen
eral merchandise. From the agricultural dis
trlcts the demand is light and win probably
continue so until harvesting is well under
way. The local money market IS easy, with
no trouble reported in securing funds on good
securities, but for speculation and outside
purposes it is hard to get accommodations.
Silver was higher to-day both at New York
and London. Sterling exchanges and ex-
changes on the East are unchanged.
TONNAGE MOVEMENTS.
Wheat charters are quiet, but fairly firm.
Ship-owners do not like to make concessions,
while exporters do not like TO pay asking
rates until more fully informed regarding
crops at home and abroad. The last quoted
charter was at 20s for Wool to Liverpool. The
Wheat tonnage in port is as follows: Engaged,
1919 tons; engaged for new crop loading
16,75S tons; disengaged, 109, ,4o9 tons. Total,
143, ,346 tons register, equal 10 243,6 ,688 tons
carrying capacity. Tonnage on the way ag-
gregate 273,33O tons register, equal TO a
carrying capacity Of 464 ,661 tons.
CEREALS.
WHEAT-Receipts aggregate 3,235 ctls.
