NV Yoxx, Sept 5.-R g. Dun Coz
Weekly Review of Trade says:
While industry and business were improving
daily and prospects were brighter than ever,
the sudden alarm about cholera came to
cause some hesitation.
Il is even said that buyers from the south
who had departed for this city, returned back
because they were afraid of detention by
quarantine here. There is reason for the
utmoss precautlon against the importation
of the disease, which c,ty and national
authorities are taking with creditable ener-
~, but there is yet no ground for surprising
that the pestilence will gain a foothold here
this season. In all other respects the busi-
ness prospects are clearly better, than year
ago and nearly all accounts show an actual
increase in business.
Crcp prospects are better money is in
greater demand, but there is an ample sup
DIV everywhere and industries are producing
more than ever before. The fear that ex-
ports may be curtailed by the pcstilence In
Europe has depressed the markets. wheat
dropped to 9s1, the lowest point since 1888,
and recovered only to fall off 2 cents for the
week. Corn dropped 81 cents for the week,
with better western reports. Cotton rose
shade but has fallen to rs cents again with
sales of 666,OOO bales. Oats declined
cent; pork. so cents per barrel: lard, -
cents, and hogs 90 cents per hundred pounds
and oil q cents lower.
The greater part of these changes come
from the unnatural conditions OF the
markets For some tire they held up IN
spite of the extraordinary stocks In sight.
Wheat receipts in four days were 4,o52, 40
bushels, but the exports were only SoS, 40
bushels 1t has been evident that Europe
will take less of our products this year than
last, but the pestilence there will not greatly
diminish the need for food or clothing.
Manufacturers in this country have never
| been in q better condition, on the whole.
| than that which the reports now indicate.
all textile manufacturers are producing
more and consuming more material than
sver, and the demand has rarely pressed so
closely on the supply. Most of the wooden
mills are crowded, while the stocks Of goods

mmes full production, though some mills
are yet delayed by repairs The demand for
