lower opening in wheat. At the outset the
feeling was inclined to be panicky, but the
TACT that wheat was already low and that all
adverse conditions had already been
pretty thoroughly discounted. led to
free buying by the cooler-headed traders.

LATE CROP GOSSIP AND TRADE NOTES
SATURDAY, Sept 8

SATURDAY, Sept 8
A gradual enlargement of commercial
operations was noticeable this week, the
increase being most marked after Wednes-
dav. Mail orders were large Thursday and
Friday, and the agents who returned to-day
from canvass of their territory brought with
them unusually large orders. According to
the bank exchanges the volume of trade
was 81 per cent larger than last week, and
l6.5 per cent larger than for the correspond
ing week of 1891 The leading influences,
especially the iron trade, were more
stimulating, and merchants were
figuring on large sales this au-
tumn, particularly during the e1-
position season. The only cloud on the
business horizon was the possibility OF a
visitation of cholera, but it was not given
more than passing comment excepting by
those who passed through the visitation Of
"a and know something about how such
plaques demoralize trade.
So far as the staples were concerned,
breadstuffs were weaker, flour was lower,
sugar higher coffee unsteady, provisions
lower, rice frmer and dairy products were
well held at the recent advances. There was
more strength in molasse5 and syrups: eggs
and poultry ranged somewhat higher and
Rll descriptions of vegetables were scarce
and firm at advanced prices.
Collections were fair in all sections save
those that have been afflicted with strikes,
and from these there was little complaint,
es credits were greatly curtailed when the
troubles commenced.

The feature in the market that gives the
most encouragement is that the demand
comes up from the bottom. That Is to say,
the trade in all forms of finished iron is
larger than was expected, and presses upon
manufacturers, who in turn call for more

led to some hesitation in making future

toward revival in general trade. Money is

The Sugar Situation,

Wiilet & Gr2y's weekly sugar circular
says: Net cash quota tions are: Muscova-
dos, raw sugar, Sc; centrifugals, 356c: granu-
2 lated, 47lc. Receipts during the week,
9z,5a tons Meetings., 10000 tons. Total
stock in four ports, ll3, $40 tons, against
l3O.9S3 tons last week, and 1881 at same
time last year. Total stock in all the prin-
cipal countries, 76l OlO tons, against 763, ,294
tons last year. The causes of this rapid
advance in raw sugar have been the small
available supply to meet the very large con-
sumption of the country, and the possibility
that the delivery of a portion of such supply
might be delayed by quarantine regulations
in consequence Of the cholera now raging in
Europe. Importers stocks in New York and
in Cuba are so much reduced that the re-
Iuers must look to Europe for a large pro-
portion OF their fresh supplies. and the
ludica tions are that the market will remain
strong for some time. Mr.. LIGHTS report
shows that e. 500 tons of beetrOot sugar were
shipped or loaded from the 3D. to the Goth of
August for America and Canada, and char
ters taken for 0,0a0 tons more. for shipment
in September.
An advance of &c in refined followed the
upward movement in Iaws. This caused the

The New York Bule in says the outbreak
a the cholera in Europe has been responsi-
be for the late advance and the present
strength OF the market Some time ago the
agents OF the Sugar Trust made large pur-
cnases OF beet sugar in Europe said to ag-
gTegate $4,000 tens. This naturally strength
ened the markets there These sugars are
now being shipped to this country, but de-
lays are BEN encountered on account OF
the rinEeuStquarantine regulations and
the trust has therefore been obliged to pur-
chase canefsugars here at such prices as the
holders have seen lit to exact. The advance
in prices OF raT sugars thus brought about
has not, now ever, resulted to the detriment
OF the trust Tor it at once advanced the
prices OF refined sugars to correspond with
the advance in raws. Still higher prices are
likely 20 prevail If the vessels now bringing
beet sugars to this port are to be detained
lOr a long time at quarantine.
