SAN FRANCISCO, June ii, 1892.
Contrary 10 eXpec ations general Trade was
slow to-day. Merchants appear 10 be puzzle
over the situation, for instead O. a duh, in.
active market we should be enjoying an active
trade in all branches. Money is n oversup-
ply, and nearly all industries are reported To
be in fourishing condition, yet there ap-
pears to be an underlined fear of something
impending. 1t has at ali times been the case
that when the trade is looking for the uu, z,
lectcd it does not come, but on the contrary
business shapes itself into a staple condition,
which is soon followed by more active times
This appears to be the present situation. IN
farm product trade was generally quiet to-
day with buyer- trying to secure concessions
Silver was reported firm at yesterdays quota,
tons.
