New YonK, Sept, Ar. q. Dun a
Co.'S weekly review Of trade says:
The alarm about cholera has van
ishcd, and trade In every direction
shows all the improvement that was cx.
pccted. The south IL a little dull be-
cause cotton Is low In price and late,
but n little improvement has been seen
during the past week. In n few quar-
ters at the west farmers are holding
back wheat for higher prices, so that
collections arc retarded, but the general
tenor of adviccs is exceedingly favor
able. Tho volume of business continues
larger than u year ago. Collections are
exceptionally good on the whole, and
although money il inactive and in
increasing demand at nearly all points,
the supply is ample for all Legitimate
needs uold exports have ceased, for
.eign exchange has declined, and the
money market Is ut present without
disturbing features.
Speculation Is not on the whole
active enough to have Il disturbing in
hueucc. Wheat has recovered lssc, but
sales here have been only 5000. 900
Z bushels Western receipts In four days
have been 8, 700, 900 bushels, while the
exports from Atlantic ports have been
'953, 900 bushels Foreign advices no
longer promise nm unusual demand.

stronger, active. Pig iron Is frmer,
some Alabama furnaces advancing the
price IS cents, but bar iron Ii slightly
easier, some ~slackcning Is seen in plates
and on the whole the prospect for fin-
ishcd products Is not quite so favorable.
Largo sales OF copper Mt l1A are re-
ported and lead IL slack ut Al, with tin
steady at $40. Is. Coal is active in re-
tail trade. Actual sales in August, the
